LSU’s Biggest Opponent Right Now? LSU

[Steamboat Willie]

LSU is putting on an all-time clown show right now, and it has nothing to do with on-field play calling. From the messy coaching search to the way they handled Brian Kelly’s exit, it’s hard to find anything that resembles competence in Baton Rouge.

The “presidential search” looked less like a real process and more like a performance to justify a hire that was already decided. Meanwhile, the Brian Kelly situation has gone from bad to completely unbelievable. LSU is now arguing he wasn’t officially fired after the A&M game and is suddenly trying to label it a “for cause” firing — months later — to dodge a $50M buyout. Never mind that they publicly framed it as a performance issue at the time.

This is the kind of chaos that scares off top coaches. How do you convince an A-list candidate to take the job when the school can’t even agree on who had the authority to fire the last guy? Or when they’ll rewrite the timeline on a termination after the fact?

Someone will take the LSU job — it’s still LSU — but the way they’re handling things is doing real damage to the brand. Coaches want stability, clarity, and a department that honors its contracts. Right now LSU is offering none of that.

At this point, the only consistent thing coming out of Baton Rouge is confusion.

I know there are pretty girls that go to that school but Baton Rogue is an armpit. Don't get the draw to that school.
