Rumor: Keenum on short list for Trump's Ag Secretary
- Thread starter 615dawg
- Start date
Well speaking as a farmer it would be fantastic to have someone from MIssissippi as Sec of Ag. That’s huge for southern ag.
I totally agree. Just kind of seems like a placeholder. What’s ironic is that a lot of people speculated that Keenum would get the senate appointment that ultimately went to CHS…….and probably would have until certain business execs got involved
If Harris were to win Vilsack would probably continue to be Sec of Ag.
and there's your problem in Washington in a nutshell. The guy around here is not liked, fans at other schools outside of here don't know him, yet because of pedigree and favors he is sought after
Certainly a possibility but he's 73, those are grueling jobs, he's now done it 12 years, and she's going to have her own personnel priorities.
That was my impression of her as well. But the big ag lobby in Jackson loves her and have been unwavering in their support.
Love Mike. Would be great to see him as president one day, but I'm not sure he has the experience necessary right now. Maybe the next go 'round.
Clinton's AG was Mike Espys until he took football tickets or something like that from, I believe one of the Tyson's from Arkansas. I know because he is from Miss. Ray Mabus was Navy secretary under Obama. Another Mississippian. Dick Channey was the first President Bush defense secretary. I believe he was the last one to have not served in the Military.
Depends on who his replacement is...... Grass isnt always greener
Pretty true.
Keenum leaves and Rankins makes himself MSU president. You’ll be begging for Keenum to come back.
A definite “be careful what you wish for” deal. He is probably the most influential college president in CFB right now during the most turbulent time. Not a bad thing to have.
Yea, you pretty much know squat. Nobody can predict what that board is going to do.
Keenum is well liked by most MSU people. He isn't here but this place isn't really representative.
Before we throw Keenum out remember we are the same university that fired Stans and hired Rick Ray, we are the same university that went several years with out a "full time" president after Zacharias (I know Portera was here for a minute), we hired Joe Morehead after Dan..... What makes anyone think we would do better? Serious question.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
No idea about her intellect but I do know she's a stick in the mud. Back in '18 when she was the appointed Senator she visited the BBQ contest at Super Bulldog Weekend. She was walking the grounds chit chatting here and there. She and an aide walked past our tent and we said hello and exchanged pleasantries. We offered her a plate as anyone would do at a BBQ contest and she politely declined as expected. I was bored so I said "oh come on, everyone in DC loves pork!" She gave me a the most blank soulless stare, turned around, and walked away. How can you not laugh at that?!
She probably had to ask Phil Bryant how to react first… funny joke on your part though.
Ah, But is he a Nazi ? **
As someone who started with Zacharias and ended with Portera and spent time on campus with Foglesong and Lee, I identify very much with this take. I'm not a fan of Keenum but he beats Fogelsong, Lee was mediocre (kinda like Keenum as the trains ran on time but probably a net loss), Zacharias was all about the students and we loved him for it, Portera cared little for the students but the money he brought in helped. Who knows what a replacement would be like.
The odds are high that you WILL get it, and it won't be what you thought it would be.
He's the President of the College Football Playoff. He is the one that went to 12 teams. If its successful, he will get a ton of credit.

There’s two ways of looking at his, guys.
A) we lose a president that has been by most every account AWFUL at everything he’s touched.
B). We lose our “in” to the upcoming super conference.
17’d either way, maybe both! Hail 17’ing State.*****

Since this is the allowed political thread of the day.

Hopefully Coleman Hutzler isn't on the short list for "Defense" Secretary!
