I wonder if it's the accent that really bugs people.

yeah it is the accent.
You know what was more annoying? Shutting down the state over a cold.

He went to Southern Law School in his first year before transferring to Loyola.
Contracts is a 1st semester 1L class.
Hence, his stupidity regarding contracts.

Are you talking about Woodward?

Woodward spent a lot of money on a bad hire.
If donors didn't pony up the money LSU is still on the hook for that, meaning the state of Louisiana is on the hook for that.
And I didn't vote for Landry.
The "buck stops" with whom?
In this instance, technically it stops with Louisiana taxpayers.

TAF is a complete separate, legally formed non-profit corporation. It has no legal affiliation with LSU. As of 2024, TAF had net assets of approximately $275,000,000.
Kelly is paid $400,000 by the state of Louisiana through the LSU system. The remainder of his payment was guaranteed by TAF. This is going to be transcribed in a second, auxiliary contract between Kelly and TAF, and signed by TAF’s President, not the President of LSU.
Unless there is a clause in the contract between LSU and Kelly which LSU agrees to guarantee Kelly’s contractual payment with TAF (and seriously doubt there is), then Landry is talking out of his arse.
ETA: Nevermind, just saw the entire contract. LSU (i.e. the State) guarantees the total buyout. Holy shite.

There’s a concentration of BR and Nola nitwits on that board so it is what it is. I’ve heard and seen what they’re trying to do and it’s a good idea. We’ll have to see if they can pull it off but it’s the right move

Oilfield would be in a better position under Democratic governing (historically)

Sorry. I don’t want Landry or any governor being involved.

Yes. It went way beyond making sure taxpayers didn’t pay the money. He went so far as to say coaches are paid too much…that there’s plenty if coaches who are good enough for less money. He is 100% injecting himself into the actual decision/choice.

Technically? The state probably could. Practically? It could not.
We all know that the big discussion was about raising the money. At no point was it ever even discussed to stick the taxpayer with the bill.
And that’s because it would be suicide.
His argument makes sense logically. It’s just not a real problem.
And you know he doesn’t really care about that because he’s not trying to prevent the taxpayer being on the hook. He’s trying to get involved and control parts of this hire.

I believe the last guy was expected to be a douchenozzle.
I thought Landry was going to be good. When your expectations are set and he comes in doing the stuff he’s doing, yes he’s terrible. Far more disappointing than the prior jerkoff.

quote:it was on radio. With Moscona. Said the landscape is changing and we used to only pay coaches but now we pay coaches and players.
quote please?
Said lots of lesser paid coaches were kicking our arse.
He also justified his stance by saying LSU athletics takes public money.
Said LSU was constantly coming to them with hat in hand.
When Moscona asked if that was talking Athletics because Athletics is self funded he pivoted and said the stadium was built with public funds.
Moscona then asked if he was referring to the expansion and specifically asked if the expansion really used public funds. He pivoted and said they got a bond from the bond commission.
Talked pretty openly about how he was going to make sure things change. And it definitely wasn’t only related to who pays the buyout.

I already did. And we just saw it play out. If making the taxpayer pay was really an option, why did LSU go raise private funds for the buyout? For the fun of it?
It’s because the ramifications of that would be suicide for the AD and whoever approved that decision.
It’s highly likely that the language is there because it has to be there since Kelly is employed by the university and the contract is between he and the university.
It’s also why there is a BOS that has a role to protect the state in these situations and why the governor has a say in who is on the BOS.
Landry 100% has stepped on his own dick here. And rather than backtrack he has doubled down. It’s a tremendous mistake politically. And it has hurt LSU athletics significantly in the process.

Who pays is interesting.
That doesn’t say anything about who would pay if “who” didn’t pay.

If “who” didn’t pay, the coach would not have been fired.

Imaging how pissed you’d be if you were the private donor who put up tens of millions so that LSU could get a great coach only to have Landry frick it up.
