We had fired Nolan Richardson (after he asked us to) and he was claiming that the university was racist. In the replacement head coach search Bill Self was ready to roll, but the powers-that-be wanted a diversity hire to show that we weren't racist, so we hired Stan Heath. Picking Heath over Self set the program back almost 20 years.
Eerily similar to Willie Taggert

Does Ben Carson hate people seemingly based solely on their skin tone? No?
Then frick off with your false equivalency.

No offense, but when your pilots are these guys...
your opinion is moot.

looking forward to asking my son what the student body is saying about the hire. His feeling on campus is there is a large portion of loud, outspoken libs that get a lot of attention, but the majority of the students are still fairly conservative and aren't going to be thrilled with this hire.
A small contingent of vocal liberals, about the same number of active conservatives and around 85% of the student body who are just trying to get their degree and not paying attention to any of this.

That’s not how they (race panderers) operate. They’ll take it whatever way they can get it. Then demand more.

I mean it's a noble take
But with communists, expect communism

If you want to get media attention, tweet at Tucker Carlson, it might get his attention.
The secrecy around this whole thing is important too, and that might pique his interest.

This is a very interesting discussion we seem to be having. The reason the discussion does not presume that this man is competent is not that we don't trust the board to have made a good choice. Given the selection of Sean O'Keefe, King Alexander, and that dentist who used to treat Edwin Edwards, such lack of trust would be reasonable. Instead, the discussion seems to be based on the assumption that Bill Tate is incompetent, unqualified, has no standards, will pull the university down - all because he is black. He is a real intellectual - he went back to earn a master's degree in epidemiology after he was a tenured professor - and a seasoned administrator at universities far above LSU in the pecking order. And as for the suspicion about his critical race theory article . . . the article has been cited almost 7,000 times. The reasoning stands up to scrutiny by peers. For those who say that the board was forced into this situation, my answer is a question: Except for the student member, is there anyone on the board who is without the intestinal fortitude to say no when they think it's necessary? I doubt it. Instead of criticizing Bill Tate out of ignorance, maybe we should be congratulating the board for not hiring someone who didn't have enough strength to stand up to 45's attempts to undermine science or someone who lied on his resume and was silly enough to think he wouldn't get caught and later stupid enough to say it doesn't matter.

can someone explain wtf is going on with this hire, because i haven't seen anything anywhere about it.

Essentially it appears he's a proponent of Critical Race Theory, which is frankly one of the most racist things I've ever read about.
So people, naturally, are not happy that LSU just hired a President who is a proponent of such garbage.

Bill thinks race is not biology but is a social construct of the white man to enslave minorities.
But go off king (or queen).
