made a thread about him several weeks ago. I went to high school with Shannon and think he should get a look to be the next LSU OC. I hope whoever we hire will give him a look. LSU is definitely his dream job, and he'd be a huge upgrade over what we've had the last couple years.
See- that’s where my question is. I can’t tell from afar how much Miami’s offensive success the past couple years is due to him and how much is Cristobal who I have read does sometimes call plays. He has a great family (I used to know some of them) and I’m sure is a great guy- just don’t know what his ceiling is.
Not an LSU HC thread- Shannon Dawson

Just because he is a local guy who has had success the last couple years as OC at Miami- anyone thinks he gets a look at a smaller school for HC anytime soon? He had his first OC job at WV under Holgerson, has had stops in between and now is under Cristobal at Miami. His most notable years have been working for HCs who are involved on the offensive side of the ball, so I don’t know how much of the success he has had is due to mentorship and working under offensive minded HCs and how much is him.
Because he’s a local guy I’d love to see him have success on a larger scale if that’s what he wants.

re: The filibuster is unconstitutional

If they made the opposing party actually do the work of filibustering, it wouldn’t go on for as long as it does. The fact they can just say filibuster then go home (or on a trip) is the problem. I think that if you’re going to vote no on ending debate, then you need to stay and debate.
This X 1000. It is performative obstruction. The obstruction is real enough, but the methods dot require any true conviction to implement or sustain. If they were forced (by rule) to actually sustain debate and were only able to bring up things relevant to the legislation being debated, then these things would get sorted out much quicker. It’s infuriating to see our “elected representatives” invoke a filibuster and then not be made to carry on the debate. The bonus is that whoever invokes and performs a filibuster would have their argument on record for everyone to see. Not that it would make a difference given the intelligence and attention of our voters as a whole, but it would be amazing if they were forced to have their argument on record so everyone could see how intellectually weak some of them truly are. (Not that we do t have ample evidence of this already)

I don’t know if this is true but have heard she may be interested in coaching. If so, she’s in the right place.

Is it the Children’s Hospital, though? I thought it was just OLOL, not specifically the children’s hospital, which is a separate entity under the FMOL umbrella.

Interesting. Those seem like things that could be taken care of before game day. Hard for me to see how those are game time activities.

From what I gathered Schroyer and Rousse have a good relationship and Schroyer and Will Wade have a good relationship. ...my own personal feelings, I suspect Rousse plans to move him up to full AD if Verge doesn't work out. Verge has some baggage and seems like a shoot from the hip hire. He may be on a shorter leash than some.
I don’t know that it’s necessarily that Rousse is looking ahead and anticipating problems with Verge. I think it’s more that Verge has been promoted to AD and there is a vacant spot. Rousse and Schroyer have a great working relationship. I think it’s a combination of a couple things- there is an open position that needs to be filled and he has worked with someone who has the skills to fill it and they already trust each other. The second part is rewarding Schroyer for his work at McNeese by giving him the opportunity to advance in the scope and size of his professional responsibilities. I have no doubt that Rousse has in the back of his mind promoting Schroyer in the event Verge leaves/retires/etc.

His claim to fame is all the scheduling snafu’s that have started us off on the wrong foot multiple years
Isn’t that the fault of the coaches who didn’t have their teams prepared for the first game of the season? Or are you saying we should always start the season with an “easy” win?
I don’t know him. I don’t have any personal opinions about his qualifications to be AD. Here’s what I see:
He has been in the athletic department a long time. That means he has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. He has also worked for ADs who wanted to make their mark on LSU. As such, I don’t know how much opportunity he had to impact big decisions. The biggest thing I know he do was coordinate FB scheduling. Again- I don’t know what level of autonomy he had vs being told by coaches/ADs “this is what we need.”
He obviously bleeds purple and gold. I don’t recall hearing about him ever trying to leave for another school. It could very well be that I just remember. Regardless, he is a tiger through and through.
Is he on paper the most qualified candidate for AD? Probably not. However, there is something to be said for someone who doesn’t seem to have the massive ego some of our previous ADs have had, who loves the school, and who has seen what works under three different FB coaches to bring national championships back to LSU. I’m cautiously optimistic about his ability to be successful.

If I were Nick Saban
Posted by BR Tiger on 11/5/25 at 6:57 am
I’d be having so much fun right now trolling the CFB world. Especially if I were committed to my retirement and not entertaining any thoughts of returning to coaching.
The Sabans have friends and ties to BR to this day. I would be here to visit friends and be just visible enough to be seen while still looking like I am hiding. Just enough for people to start telling stories about how they saw Nick and Ms Terrie eating in the back corner of Gino’s or something like that.
Of course he is probably more mature than I am so he would never do something like that.

President is over the LSU system. Chancellor is in charge of a local campus.

Uh-oh. Ms Mona doesn’t play around. You should see them burning up the phones when someone is 1 minute late on day 2. Good luck!
There is an extra tap before you see all the tabs. You have to hit the dots then select “all tabs”. Before I could just hit the icon at the bottom right of the screen and the tabs would appear. It’s not a big deal at all, just a little nuisance.
