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.

It all appears to be happening so far so good for Lane Kiffin to LSU, but not done yet.

So while LSU AD Verge Ausberry tries to negotiate Lane Kiffin into being LSU’s next football coach, LSU’s Board just decided to try to keep negotiating former coach’s $54 million contract down. tigerrag.com/lsu-board-to-cont...

So, this is “The Portal King?” All LSU has at the moment from portal is a No. 40 wide receiver from Hawaii? QB Brendan Sorsby to Texas Tech, Ole Miss’ Trinidad Chambliss may stay if he gets another senior year. tigerrag.com/so-what-happened-...

If Brian Kelly got fired at 34-14 (.708), 19-10 (.655) SEC, 5-11 (.312) vs. ranked, no CFP in 4 seasons at LSU, should Josh Heupel at 43-18 (.704), 23-15 (.605) SEC, 11-13 vs. ranked, 0-1 CFP in 5 seasons at Tennessee be next after Hugh Freeze? Both inherited bad situations.

Chances of LSU getting Brian Kelly’s $54 million buyout reduced? “Approximately zero.” -Attorney Tom Mars, who specializes in college football coach contracts and buyouts. tigerrag.com/brian-kelly-sues-...

“If he doesn’t make it (to the NCAA Tournament), we’ll have to reevaluate.” -LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry on shaky future of basketball coach Matt McMahon: tigerrag.com/lsus-verge-ausber...

“We are not going down a failed path,” Gov. Jeff Landry when ?’d if next LSU football coach’s contract will not have ridiculous buyout. “He (LSU AD Scott Woodward) cost Texas A&M $70 something million (Jimbo Fisher buyout). We’ve got a $53 million liability (Brian Kelly buyout).

Hey, @Lane_Kiffin look at this. LSU has an athletic director and he’s not “interim” or “acting,” like the incoming president said, who may now be interim. He’s THE AD and the guy you’d work with, if interested. lsusports.net/staff/verge-ausberry/

The next best thing to Nick Saban available - Lane Kiffin - is coming to LSU, if Nick Saban has his way. tigerrag.com/nick-saban-is-not...

“No, I can tell you right now, Scott Woodward (LSU AD) will not be selecting the next coach (of LSU football). The Board of Supervisors (picked by La. Governor) is going to come up with a committee, and they’re going to go find us a coach.” -La. Governor Jeff Landry minutes ago.

@Brooks_UGA Thanks, Josh, I would also like to take my name out of the hat for any MLB openings at Sports Illustrated, though I have also not been called.

And remember, LSU and Lane Kiffin could’ve been jerks and told their new assistants from Ole Miss that they couldn’t keep coaching Ole Miss through the playoffs.

“The Board’s leadership has handled this whole episode poorly. They let the Governor dictate their actions.” LSU power broker and donor Richard Lipsey to Tiger Rag Saturday.

Hold the phone on this … Incoming LSU president Wade Rousse told @ByPiperHutch of the @IlluminatorLA that he will assess Verge Ausberry job title later, basically reattaching the interim.
