LSU turmoil deepens amid governor intervention

LSU is without a president, athletic director or head football coach as Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry takes center stage in the upheaval. After the Tigers fell to 5-3 and confidence in Brian Kelly cratered, Landry pushed through Kelly’s firing and a $54 million buyout, then publicly sidelined AD Scott Woodward, despite his other title-winning hires. Interim AD Verge Ausberry now leads a search committee, though questions linger over who truly holds power. Critics warn the governor’s highly visible role, jokes and fact slips risk scaring off top candidates and deepening a perception of chaos.
