He was term limited; wasn’t on the ballot.

Basically this:

His budget cuts are often radical and seemingly random and have had some serious repercussions on the basic functioning of courts and schools. His lack of personality compared to frozen tilapia and craven submission to the feds during the Deepwater Horizon episode lost him goodwill as well.

The main problem is the oil crash, IMO. Louisiana, unlike Texas, is too wrapped up in oil money without enough other activities to blunt the blow. Jindal is not responsible for that, but he doesn’t seem to much give a damn either. Instead, he bugged off on his absurd presidential bid because the GOPe was whispering in his ear about how impressive he is, being Republican and brown, and he believed it.

He is pro-life. That is good. But so are about nine in ten in Louisiana. He is not a leader. He never will be. His peak was as a functionary for Governor Foster back in the day, and everything since then has been Peter Principle for him.
