"Landry announced in a press conference that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward would not be selecting the football team's next head coach. That announcement came after Woodward made the decision to fire coach Brian Kelly. Landry added that the decision would instead be made by a committee. The governor explained that his sudden interest in the operations of the football team was motivated by the concerns of taxpayers."
"First off, it's the second-most ridiculous thing he said this week, Clark said of Landry's comments on the football team. The first was standing on campus and saying he wanted to put a statue up with somebody that doesn't represent the people of Louisiana, doesn't represent the players and the students at LSU, doesn't represent the executives that worked there. That was the first dumb thing he said this week. This is the second-dumbest amongst a lot of dumb things that he says."
Governor Jeff Landry announced that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward would not select the football team's next head coach, saying a committee would make the decision. The announcement followed Woodward's decision to fire coach Brian Kelly. Landry said his interference was motivated by concerns of taxpayers. Landry also posted a social media video calling on LSU to erect a statue honoring conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in Utah in September. ESPN analyst Ryan Clark criticized both actions on First Take, calling the statue proposal and the coaching intervention 'dumb' and 'ridiculous' and saying Kirk does not represent LSU's community.
