Yeah, this has no chance of getting through Congress.  The President appoints the commissioner of a new college sports association?  That won't become political at all. These colleges don't have to fire these coaches and pay that amount of buyouts, but they do it when they know the price.  It isn't like the actual university is actually paying the buyout anyway which this Congressman should know.

Not exactly a vote of confidence is it?

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry just said at a press conference that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward will NOT be hiring LSU’s next football coach. It will be LSU’s Board of Supervisors.

LSU should be looking at cautionary tales from IUBB and other situations like that.  Boards aren’t good at hiring coaches.  Either are most Presidents and donors.  If you don’t trust your AD then you need a new AD.

But this ain’t our problem thankfully!!!

Rick Bozich -

For all the talk about firing coaches and paying buyouts, AD Scott Woodward hired Jimbo Fisher at A&M and Brian Kelly at LSU and was nationally acclaimed because “he always gets his man.” Who has handed out two worse contracts than that?

 

Maybe this is why Woodward isn't getting to make the next LSU hire.
