Getting the donors on board to fire Kelly was all Landry. He made the usual arse of himself afterwards but I won't deny him credit for that.

Who do you think fired Fatt Scott and hired Verge?

None of that mattered. We were always going to end up with LK and he wasn’t coming any sooner. If anything it blew up the media (Dellenger) narrative that no quality coach wanted to come here.


It does matter because Fatt Scott stated explicitly that Lane was not a candidate and never was gonna be a candidate. He didn’t like Lane; he would rather LSU lose than put his personal differences aside.

You are mistaken. Yes.

Woodward fired Kelly.


Landry got Woodward fired, who without a shadow of a doubt would not have even interviewed Kiffin. Also, I think Landry should have kept his mouth shut in the press, but Woodward would 100% still be at LSU, and Kiffin would be at Florida or Ole Miss if not for Landry.

I would assume he is Seaton in his Tuesday-Thursday class. :-)

Does Verge have an X account? I've tried to find him so I can follow him. What a job he did!

Because Kelly wanted to fire Brad Davis if he was going to fire Joe Sloan. Imagine sticking up for Brad Davis as a AD. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

While agree with you, Governor Landy's intentions were properly oriented toward what is/was best for LSU so whatever momentum was lost initially was easily overcome. For lack of a better word, Landy seems "aligned" now.


Landry used this to promote himself only. He started this drama train with his bombastic approach. His support likely did help Verne and their board close the deal, though.

Because y’all hate Landry you won’t open your eyes and see what he actually did. He 100% cleared away and got this ball rolling. Did he stay a little too long and run his mouth a little too much and possibly get too deep into the coaching search? Absolutely. But denying his critical mass as the catalyst is weak on y’all‘s part.


He reportedly went out and collected a ton of big business donor money that wasn’t previously aligned and committed to the school that really helped to get Kiffin and create the NIL system thats funding the majority of these two recruiting classes. He definitely got off to a rough start but I don’t see how you can argue he helped get things headed in the right direction. Lsu lacked big time annual financial backing and leadership in the athletic department. We are a better program because he got involved even if he misspoke and stirred up a ton of crap along the way. If he was a democrat the upvotes and downvotes would be swapped around. People make everything political these days.

This is true, but this is also the recruiting board. Keep this shite on the Rant.
