TBH, I don’t think the Advocate really represents Baton Rouge. I doubt many in the state care about anything the Advocate has to say.

Baton Rouge Advocate turning on
Seems like it's a reader letter and not the paper itself?

The LSU football and basketball situation is a disgrace. I don't blame Lane Kiffin or Will Wade. I blame the so-called leadership at LSU. Anything to win. Hire a football coach who walked out on his team at the start of a historic playoff run. Then, hire a basketball coach who practically destroyed the same program that you just hired him to lead.
Obviously, the LSU board, president and athletic director have no moral compass and no guiding principles. Just win, no matter what you have to do or who you have to hire. I hope they are investing as much money in the academic programs at LSU. I doubt the board, president and AD care about the engineering department as much as football and basketball.
The so-called leaders at LSU should take a look in the mirror and ask themselves if this is what they want. If it is, LSU has deeper problems than we realize.
I agree with the UNO graduate on these points.

The Advocate has criticized EVERY coaching hire made since LSU paid CNS a record 1 mill per year in 2000. They bashed the CNS hire as setting a disturbing precedent. The underlying theme to all of criticism has revolved around the numbers , hence “at all cost”. The Advocate won’t be happy with a hire until LSU promotes a chemistry professor to coach football for 350k per year. Of course , after multiple losing seasons they will question why the BR economy is in a downturn and point to smaller crowds at home games.

The Advocate is a liberal rag. I wouldn't use it to wipe my arse.

The Advocate is known to be ran by a bunch of blue haired, fat, ugly, liberal trannies.

Premier paper in Red Stick. Now most LSU folks cant read if that's what you were referring to.

Just win, baby. Unless they are committing actual crimes and harming people, who the frick cares?

The Advocate is still pretty big in south LA. Not dying like most papers around the country.

Uh you are aware of who your basketball coach is, right?
Posted on 4/14/26 at 8:10 am to WildcatMike
So you're posting an Op-Ed as the paper is turning on Kiffin?

Big win for WildcatMike!
