O'Keefe's ouster is just another example of the LSU mafia led by its in-house lawyer, Ray Lamonica, and his Board ally, Jim Roy. First they removed the gutty Donald Smithburg from the health care role. Now the extremely competent O'Keefe. The next target will probably be Tim Ryan at UNO. All successful leaders who are nationally recognized for their talent. Other than the gridiron, LSU's fractious Board can't help but continue to shoot itself in the head. What an embarrassment to Louisiana.

On Letter from Sean O'Keefe to President Lombardi

Posted on January 15 at 8:04 a.m.

The meltdown in the LSU's President's Office started before Lombardi arrived. One need look no further than its in- house lawyer, P. Ray Lamonica, and his Board crony, Jim Roy, to find the cancer seed that then spread after the hurricanes. Follow the trail since Katrina, and you will find their fungal footprints. O'Keefe has skins on the wall. He has contacts that can help LSU and Louisiana. So is it any surprise that Lamonica and Roy want to get him gone? They've been trying for some time, but Lombardi's predecessor couldn't pull the trigger. O'Keefe is yet another victim of LSU's insecurity and arrogance. We can only hope that Lombardi will take a hard look down the hall before he launches a rocket down the way.
