LSU’s Board of Supervisors tried to explain the “mutual parting” with Athletic Director Scott Woodward — but the press conference only confirmed what everyone suspected: this was a politically driven move fueled by Governor Jeff Landry.

And now the biggest twist of all…

We break down what this power shift means, how the board contradicted Landry on taxpayer funding, and why LSU’s coaching search just became one of the most fascinating in college football history.

Plus: who are the real candidates now? And how much influence will the Governor really have moving forward?
