What bluff? They are about to vote to release everything.

Benson: "Yes. Let me be clear about this: The teams are not for sale. That's in capital letters. I want everybody to know the teams are not for sale. I get tired of people asking me (if they're for sale). I'm going to turn 79 in January, but I'm pretty healthy. I hear that people want to talk to me about buying the team. I'm like, well, that's a waste of my time. That's not going to happen. And people need to calm down about the team moving.


Can we put this as a permanent sticky at the top of this board?

And the fans will get restless again even with Kiffin as HC if he's not winning the natty in 3 or 4yrs!


LSU fans didn't get restless with BK because he failed to win a natty. They got restless because we couldn't even make a 12-team playoff to give us a chance.

Don't we already have all of this?

The guy loved playing with young women and using deceit to do it. O’s naked in bed pics with some mid grade wasn’t going to make anyone fond of hiring another pussy hound, particularly after the scandals of Guice and others that the athletic department tried to cover up. No sane decision maker was going to roll the dice on Lane. He needed more time to prove his focus and ability to make mature decisions.


This. After the way O crashed out with his midlife crisis, we were always going to go after an older, mature, business-oriented family man.
By the time we actually hire a coach in a month or two, this Landry stuff will have faded away. There was an article in The Athletic with an anonymous CFB agent that basically said those exact words.

We’ll still hire a big name, but the only thing I would expect to be different going forward is the length of the contract. Can’t imagine anything longer than 5-6 years.
quote:

So you think a guy who just woke up today and wasn’t yet the president of the university interviewed all viable candidates for AD and then chose the best one?


The BOS are in charge of the university. They likely told their new President that they want Verge. He obviously didn’t have an issue with that. Case closed.

They were literally better less than a decade ago with Hugh Freeze.


In Freeze’s 5 seasons, they had one 10-win season. In 3 of the 5, they had a losing SEC record.
quote:

Being a state university, wasn't it his role to kind of step in for the university president role for things like this when we don't have a permanent president? that was my understanding of the logic of why he was involved from what people have said. If so, then it's normal just probably doesn't happen that often. If that is not how it works given no president and being a state university then it is a bad look. Louisiana politicians from years past don't have the best reputations around. We did get Tiger Stadium out of a dorm project though.


He can step in. It's not "improper" for him to do so. The reality though that people often forget is even the president of the school isn't fully in charge. The Board of Supervisors always has the final say.

I would imagine in other states where the governor isn't as historically in involved in football as in Louisiana, the BOS would handle the whole process themselves.
Not that he was a realistic option in the first place, but I assume Meyer can be taken off the potential hire list lol.

I don't disagree with what he's saying, but honestly that would only matter to established coaches in good jobs already who you really have to woo to come here (like Kiffin for example).

99% of coaches would jump at the opportunity to be the head coach at LSU regardless of the Governor being involved.
quote:

Why hire jimbo in the first place?


Jimbo’s record at Florida State was insanely good. That was not a bad hire initially on paper.
At LSU, the AD will get a longer rope when he hires a 2x time natty winner for baseball moreso than probably any other football school in the country.

If you’d had asked me if I would take 2 nattys in baseball in the past 3 years in exchange for football being very average, I’d take that. It wasn’t Orgeron’s last 2 seasons level bad after all.
quote:

You want an elite program to not hire a big name? According to some outlets the LSU job is the best available in the country.


It’s a sliding scale. LSU Baseball is the best program in the country and we hired a guy who was a name in the sport, but I don’t think anyone would have called Jay an elite, big name coach at the time.

You can hire someone who has had a lot of success at a lower-tier program, even at LSU.
He’s like .500 against ranked teams the last 2.5 seasons though. Getting better.

re: Nuss or MVB

Nuss is the better passer, but not with this line he has. If we had good protection, the answer is Nuss. With what we have, it should be MVB.
A ton of former players apparently hated BK judging by their social media posts in the last 24 hours. Had no idea he was so disliked.
quote:

BK has been absolutely terrible in his hiring decisions outside of brining Denbrock and bringing back Baker and Raymond.


And Frank Wilson, Kyle Williams, Kevin Peoples.

how the frick can she be following him too closely AND speeding, if he were driving the speed limit? Idiot.


Following too closely right before the impact, not the whole time she was speeding.
quote:

Lacy clearly caused this entire chain of events with wreck less driving. The "woman that wasn't paying attention" was, and had probably 2-3 seconds, at best, to make a life changing determination due to someone else's negligence.


She was also speeding ILLEGALLY, eating while driving, and tailgating.

At no point in this entire video is any cop "leading" anyone on for a statement. If so, LSP would not put that on video.

I swear some of you here live in an alternate reality.


The leading a witness statement wasn’t in this video. It was in the one the defense attorney put out.
