The source is the same guy who called every single step of Lane being hired among many other claims that ended to be true. Not everyone here is Jim from Plaquemine screaming at the sky.

Can we just spell Kiffin correctly? It’s not that difficult if you focus a little bit more!

Dale Brown made 10 straight NCAA tournaments and Pear was the winningest coach in the SEC during his five year stint.


Was that difficult?

LSU has never been good at basketball get over it they may have a good team every 10 years. Prove me wrong.
13 of 15 years; pretty sure second most of any program during that stretch; 5 sweet 16; 4 elite 8’s; 2 final 4’s.
Macklin getting hurt in 78-79 (ankle) and 81 (during the elite 8 game in NOLA - hand) cost the a title IMO.

I always liked Eddie Guerrero. He was always lying, cheating, and stealing! My kinda guy.

As far as WW, you can have him. All the crying bitching in the world ain't bringing him back, but please continue, I find it amusing.

Didn't we wait to fire Trent Johnson and Johnny Jones until after the season?

Verge knows how much money we have to fire and hire a new coach and MBB isn't profitable on a good day.

We're stuck with McSuck in order to have an elite football program. We all know this

MBB is the only profitable sport on campus besides football. The misinformation on this site is mind numbing.

Tader is a fricking retard that can’t read financial statements.

A true embarrassment to LSU fans.

Verge does not want this but it goes above his head so he will comply.
The bolded part is concerning though.



The bolded part is exactly how every AD who wants to keep his job acts when coupled with the underlined part. If the folks above your head insist you do or do not do something, your only choice is to comply or lose your job.

From the little bit I know, Verge is no doormat, but he is practical in his approach; he has seen the positives and negatives of every AD LSU has had for the last 40 years.

Basketball has an entrenched behind-the-scenes power structure. Those guys still liked McMahon as of the end of last season. That, coupled with the BOS and Rousse possibly having money concerns(or at least concerns about the optics of the money flow), is probably why we don't positively know he is gone yet and why Verge is making statements that will give him wiggle room in either direction.

What’s Will Wade’s buyout and who’s paying it?

"Verge should have never hired the guy."
In fairness, Verge hiring of Skip Bertman should make up for this error.

Verge has been around long enough to see how the game is played. He has also been around long enough that he is closer to retirement than many realize. The way state employee retirement pay is calculated is based on your highest three years of compensation. Verge has started those three years for himself. He isn’t going to mutiny against Rousse and the LSU Board of Supervisors and refuse to do what they want. He will find a way to make it work with Wade if that’s what the chosen direction is. Verge, more than Woodward and Alleva before him, is pragmatic. He isn’t going to let his idealism get in the way of doing business.
