Which means even if he wins he’s not getting a dime. The state apparently has over 300 million in unpaid court damages

Hm. Presumably he could've reset his residency to Massachusetts and filed in federal court. Would've let him skip the whole sovereign immunity issue. But perhaps that would be conceding that he abandoned the state so they had cause to fire him?

Skadden if you're reading you should've hired me as LC. As you can see I'm a great issue spotter. Stone Pigman made a huge mistake passing on me back as a 2L :casty:

Looking back, I think Chris Hilton has been the biggest disappointment

Well there's certainly a lot of competition for the title

The whole administration is acting like a group of rantards which, for all we know, they might be.

Idk how to explain this to someone to whom it isn’t already obvious.

Everything is playing out exactly as expected since Landry popped his head out. We keep hoping to be proven wrong, but this was all predictable.

People aren’t reacting to Verge Ausberry.
People are reacting to the last two weeks holistically.

Yes it's the process not the result. LSU's actions over the past 15 days are best described as "panicked flailing"

Been that way behind the scenes forever.

This is obviously true. However, requiring booster involvement to be "behind the scenes" tamped it down to an extent. It's like gambling. People always bet on sports even though it was technically illegal. But now that it's out in the open, it's exploded.

Even if the NCAA was mostly toothless in this respect, the looming risk of enforcement had a prophylactic effect. Now that's gone and it is, like you say, just watching a train roll on.

The questions become (1) does anybody actually like it better this way? and (2) assuming the answer to 1 is no, who can do anything about it?

From a brashness and personality standpoint the first comparison I can think of is a younger Steve Spurrier.

I think Lane very consciously wants you to make that comparison.

The visor is not an accident

Nothing they have all sucked. It's a miserable process and a wasted season. I have no idea why you guys seem to enjoy firing coaches so much.

It's just absolutely asinine to hire (or retain) a coach based on getting one player. Best case scenario, You're getting one guy who's good for 3 years. And even five stars don't pan out a shockingly high percentage of the time. An incredibly short-sighted move

Kevin Sumlin

calling BS in this one

---

Then you weren't here. People were calling to hire Sumlin when he was at Houston and racking up yards, meanwhile while we trotting out Andrew Hatch. Then Sumlin took over at A&M and went 11-2 with a Heisman his first year. He was the hottest name around for a while.

this next oc hire will be heavily influenced by big money spenders

Gross.
Boosters shouldnt be making this call

With the way the nil era is proceeding, this is going to happen more and more. people cutting checks with two commas are going to demand a say. The athletic departments who try to maintain their independence are going to find those big checks drying up, and they don't want to risk that
