The Advocate's Top Headlines

with Jennifer Wadsworth | Assistant metro editor

Good morning! Let's take you through some of our must-reads from the past day. 


Coaching contract

LSU's new coach, Brian Kelly, will receive a 10-year, $95 million contract plus incentives, which you can read more about in this piece by Wilson Alexander. And with Kelly set to land in Baton Rouge today, here's a guide to when and where fans can welcome him. 


Offshore wind panel

If you missed our 11 a.m. panel of wind industry experts, here's a link to the recorded discussion  — part of The Times-Picayune | The Advocate's five-part Winds of Change series that kicked off last week. 


Sky-high views

Maybe you've seen it: a low-flying plane crisscrossing the region with a bomb-shaped device in tow. Well, as David Mitchell reports, there's nothing to worry about. The Cessna 208B is part of a USGS effort to better understand the state's aquifers.


Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
