LSU Athletics sent out the following email on Thursday evening from Director of Athletics Verge Ausberry.

In the email, Ausberry announced that new president Wade Rousse "formalized my appointment" as athletic director this afternoon.
quote:

Dear LSU Family –

As an important part of the Tigers community, I want to share with you directly that President Rousse this afternoon formalized my appointment as LSU’s Director of Athletics. There’s been much change over the past two weeks, but our commitment to LSU sports and to its student-athletes remains the same. We are already quietly assessing candidates for head football coach and we will accept nothing short of finding a coach who will make the Tigers a National Championship contender year in and year out. I will continue to keep you advised of our progress.

Stewardship of LSU’s athletics is an honor and the work of my entire lifetime. I will not fail you. Thank you for your strong commitment to LSU – I know we’re going to continue to do great things together.

In Louisiana, our flagship institution enjoys the advantages of a talented staff, rich traditions and passionate fans. With our big personalities and commitment to winning, we expect to succeed across the board, every year. As Tigers, we accept no less. We are LSU!

Geaux Tigers!

Hey internet, remember that thing that was on but then off again real quick? Guess what?!?! ITS ON AGAIN! This time on a more semi-permanent kind of basis as of today. Anyway internet, just thought you should know. In case there was any confusion. Now who wants to coach?

I hate to say it but the dark years are ahead for LSU. I’m recalling 87-99…

Verge only seems to care about getting that title. This is going to be bad.

By the time he picks a head coach we will know if this was a DEI hire. An extremely lazy hire begets an extremely lazy coaching hire
