This sucks. He’s been the best guy in that position in a very long time. Hopefully someone nearly as good gets the job and not a dumbass friend of Landry.

But who will replace Tate?


If the past is any indication, the biggest slack jawed dick riding yes-man that Landry can find

Wish you had a fricking brain to see what’s happening.

Tate has raised an incredible amount of money for LSU and secured some great partnerships.


I think he's done a great job at LSU.

And people blaming Landry, Maybe this was just a nice promotion for Tate and nothing to do with Governor Landry. I'm not a big fan of Landry but maybe it's not politically motivated is all I'm thinking.

if Landry has any say so, he will get this right, like he did with the fake tiger he brought in last year

I bet you a kidney there will be no national search to get the best candidate. It's going to be some dumbshit friend of Landry's.

As long as he doesn't bid on any trash collection contracts, he'll be fine.

Two things can be true.

Tate realized he now had a shitty boss who didn’t like him, so he put his name out there for better options, and found one.

Maybe not directly involved but I’d imagine having to answer to retard Landry would be enough to make one look for something new.

The writings were on the wall once the other top officials started resigning.

The sad thing is, his "national search" type agency picks have been by in large much worse than the ones he's filled in-state.

Landry doesn’t care about who is good or bad for a job. Landry just cares about power and influence, and he wants power and influence over everything in the state.

The good ole boy network strikes again, and the state will be worse for it.

Kind of sucks. Tate wasn't bad.

We need to find someone that can move the needle on academics, research, and fundraising.

2 people in my precinct voted for one of the other republicans (not Landry). I was one of those voters.

Landry is stupid popular and I don't know why. I think he sucks, although he can redeem himself if he executes on this GATOR thing a bit better and somehow gets dirt moving on the new Baton Rouge bridge project.
