from what i was told, money people said Schroyer cant be AD right away


Who are the “money people” on this?

Losing both power guys from MSU would be a gut punch to that institution, but from the outside looking in Rousse & Schroyer seemed to have worked very well in tandem. I can’t seem to think Rousse wouldn’t find an opportunity to bring Schroyer in at LSU.

As it’s been said before, Schroyer for associate AD may be the position, should his lack of experience at this level be the concern. I feel this placement would be fair and equitable to those who are concerned with ability. These guys have proven they will outwork any one in the room.
Makes more sense then all of the naysayers’ sentiment combined.
At this point we’d be better off hiring you!
I don’t see where you’ve posted your choice of selection? That’s what this thread was created for.

Do you have a pick or are you going to let all these people live in your head rent free?
Sounds like you have a vendetta but no testimony other than my friends sisters cousin. We don’t resonate that here in Baton Rouge

So we’d rather pour more money for what’s uncertain? Sounds government.
You either know them or must follow her TikTok/SM.

But the affair part is not true. She had communicated to her husband her decision to separate much prior to even meeting Schroyer at that event referenced.

She was also not a member of the university’s media or a sports writer during the time they met. She was & still is an editor for a small local magazine company. Almost positive she covers more about food & small business than any sport(s).

Maybe write to her and ask her to clear up the facts, herself, but what you’ve put out is bad information and be careful with that. It’s without question you can ruin someone by saying things like that which are not true. You wouldn’t want someone to do that to you.
Again, false.

Schroyer has not once interjected or controlled any sport or coaches operation since becoming AD.
In fact, he has made it very clear that he is not going to micromanage. His stance has been to let whoever is hired to do the job, actually do the dang job.

Even with Aiken, who succeeded Schroyer (yes terrible choice), delivering the worst MBB record in the program. Schroyer never stepped in once to say “do this instead of that”. Aiken didn’t perform, he got fired. Simple.

Goff, no different than Aiken, failed at his job, lacked in more ways than one but most of all his own players didn’t feel passion & care under his presence and direction.
No need looks like Lake Charles will just moving into BR…..or better yet onto LSU’s campus LOL

AD: Josh Brooks - current Georgia AD


Josh Brooks has already made it clear—he is not pursuing this position. Though I do agree he would make for a solid choice.

The rumor is that he stole some ole baw's wife in LC


I know enough about those I am speaking on behalf of to say this:

God forbid someone be unhappy in their marriage. They should have to stick it through in misery or be stoned to death. Stone the divorce attorneys, while at it. Hell stone all the damn attorneys!

I don’t agree with divorce, but I’m also not in a troubled relationship to know what it’s like to be miserable.

Though I do know for fact that is not true. Schroyer didn’t steal ole baw’s wife. Ole baw was abusive and his ole lady had to make a hard decision after no sign of betterment.
If you care to do so, go look up Ole Baw’s criminal record—multiple assault & battery charges, most involving different individuals/victims, it’s clear, ole Baw’s got temperamental issues.

Schroyer came in post separation, so far all seems to be working. happy to see others happy in their life.

If that don’t work, I guess you try again, kind of like changing coaches until you find the one that can do the damn job. lol

I hesitate to do that because I have no experience with him personally. I only know what some in the athletic department have told me. On paper it seems he’s done a lot for the school. Maybe that’s all that should matter…I don’t know.



Then why even make the comment? The first post in this thread covered just this.

Let the truth air, but let’s not sell he said/she said. First hand people are encouraged to come and share their sentiment about my two choices or the other members’ choices.

As a community, if we are going to make jabs about people’s character/integrity, let’s try to atleast make sure it’s true & valid. That’s all I am asking, for the sake of respect.
Are you really attempting to massage LSU firing Scott fricking Woodward to hire McNeese’s AD?

Do you know something we don’t?
Last I checked McNeese’s AD is NOT hired and the next LSU AD is still largely up for great deliberation by the board.

At this immediate time, the likelihood of Schroyer taking Woodward’s position is slim. So how could it be true that Woodward got fired for Schroyer as you allege?

I’m not saying I agree with what happen but it’s without question Woodward took the heat for BK’s stupendous contract which had absolutely no guardrails protecting LSU’s financial interest then the whole WW debacle.

but a son-of-booster friend gave me the details on his current gf


What’s the detail here? I hope it’s credible, but ‘son-of-booster friend’ hopefully isn’t the same as ‘sister Susie’s cousin Pam told me this man sucks because he didn’t give me free tickets to the game’

As far as Schroyer himself—To my understanding the man is not married, I’ve not known him to have ever been accused of any illegal or unethical behavior (underaged partners, abuse/assault of a domestic partner, committing adultry, etc).

People should have the liberty to live their life as long as it’s not coming at the cost of others. If I’ve missed something I certainly would like to know (and for everyone else to know).

The majority of the people on here know nothing about either of those people or any of the other candidates



This is the problem. The entire state is made up of citizens who just make noise. There is enough information out there on the internet itself to make strong educated decisions. Instead we let the media & our friends cousin sister fill our minds with the ‘truth’.

The peoples’ voice would be taken more seriously if they gave credible feedback/criticism. Instead we just talk shite just to talk shite.

President: James Dalton - current VP and Provost at Alabama AD: Josh Brooks - current Georgia AD After Rousse in an interview pretty much said that he has no goals or directions for the university, but if the Board gives him 4 or 5 things to do he'll work on those. That's a no. The president of a major university system is too important to be a yes man for a bunch of unelected and elected politicians



The issue is the Board. They are too involved. You can’t fault the candidate(s) but wanting to cater to them. At the end of the day who makes the decision? The board.

These guys are applying to arguably their dream job (position & institution). You think any of them will get the job by telling a board like ours “you won’t tell me how to do my job.”?

It’s a screwed up situation. The board needs to let whoever they hire do the job they are paying them for & get out the damn way.

To me, the board needs to set reasonable benchmarks forth—Quantitative Goals. Then turn it over to their hire and let them perform. If the hire doesn’t report progress/growth on an annual basis, by year 3 the contract should allow LSU to fire them and pay a small portion of the buyout. These guys contracts are worth more money than what most people will ever make in a lifetime. What’s wrong with setting some hard conditions in place? Perform or get out.

Taking a chance on Wade was not a bold move.


Sure, it was. Are you aware of the regulations/conditions McNeese had to agree to, under the NCAA’s show cause penalty Will Wade had?

It definitely came at a major cost/gamble to their department and required substantial personnel/compliance change in order to upholding the obligated. Severe fines, penalties & sanctions were the consequences if they were found in breach.

Sure, any decision was a better one over the position they were once in, but I try to be fair and give credit to anyone who is willing to take the nonconventional route. You’re going to make bad choices while trying to make good ones but it’s better than not making the choice at all.

Sports/Athletics has always been a game of gamble. For the players, the coaches & the departments. It’s the ‘game’ that’s become so screwed up which now only makes for those who are willing to play it be successful.


Who do we know that’s made a big wave in the last 10 years in the NCAA level and has done it right & by the way it is “suppose to be”. Sadly, I can’t think of a single person. It’s always been about money, under table deals, bending rules, sacrificing programs for monetary gain, etc.

If this is the AD choice we are fuuuuuucked. He would be brought in to be a hatchet man and slash budget. Goodbye any real chance at success in any sports in the current NIL landscape.


I don’t see this being the issue. Look at McNeese’s athletic budget. Sure, it’s apples & oranges, but nothing about that budget was slashed.

It’s either you cut costs or make more money. Schroyer seems to have taken the ‘make more money’ approach by way of corporate sponsorships, NIL deals & media deals.

McNeese had to be a hard school to raise money for, no comparison to LSU. McNeese Athletics was broke with zero recognition, lacked local, state & national significance, all while the bulk of the “blow up” era took place between 2020-2023.

I don’t see Schroyer bringing the same selling style to LSU if he gets chosen. LSU has much more quality strengths to sell donors on but the biggest thing is engagement. Both Schroyer & Rousse have mastered that component. Look at the attendance rates before their time & now. It’s something to note.
