New LSU President Wade Rousse explains where Verge Ausberry stands as AD ...Middle East

To many, the various personnel movements and ensuing public statements surrounding LSU in recent weeks have resembled a reality TV show.

From the state’s governor firmly planting himself as a factor in the current head-coaching search to a new president settling in, the University has been dominating headlines.

And perhaps simply because LSU’s head brass believed the school was beginning to step out of the spotlight, new president Wade Rousse went on a New Orleans radio show to provide some clarity on the Athletic-Director situation.

Verge Ausberry was originally hired as the interim AD following the firing of Scott Woodward last week, but that interim tag was apparently removed.

While that would lead many to believe Ausberry is now the full-time AD, Rousse wanted to reel that thought back in.

“I removed the interim tag. He’s the acting AD,” Rousse said. “He has my full authority to go find us a coach for the best job in America.”

New LSU president Wade Rousse, on New Orleans radio, addressing his earlier comments today regarding the elevation of Verge Ausberry as full time AD: “I removed the interim tag. He’s the acting AD. He has my full authority to go find us a coach for the best job in America.”

Many comments feature people questioning the differences between an “interim” and “active” AD, considering neither is the full-time role. Despite this, Rousse did make it known that Ausberry would at least be in charge throughout the pursuit of LSU’s next head football coach.

The “acting AD” comments followed an early statement from Rousse indicating he wasn’t committed to the AD long-term.

I asked incoming #LSU President Wade Rousse on decision to name Verge Ausberry the permanent AD. “I'll remove the interim [title] and then we'll assess the situation. I can't make a very good decision after being on that on the job for eight hours…”

Does the statement inspire confidence within the athletic department regarding Ausberry’s future? That remains to be seen.
