If LSU–Texas A&M Needed an AD Heist to Become a Real Rivalry, It Got One
Let’s check in on LSU–Texas A&M: a top-shelf (and top-dollar) head football coach whom one school flirted with but the other eventually landed; a mad scientist defensive coordinator whom one school courted but the other eventually kept; another defensive coordinator one school lured away from the other that set off a 30-month-long legal battle over the buyout; two staff members fired by one school and then hired by the other; a one-sided series that was snapped last November by the highest-scoring game in FBS history, which ended after seven overtimes with an on-field brawl; and, most recently, an athletic director, cherished by one school, hijacked by the other.
