Woodward is done. Are we supposed to think LSU is going to make a splash hire without a University President, a lame duck AD, no big buyouts according to the Governor, all the while trashing the coaches agents?


Why do people think LSU is going to make a "splash hire"?

A lot of LSU fans don't want a "splash hire", they want some "up and comer", the next Dan Lanning or Kirby Smart.

With a committee and the governor involved . . . LSU could honestly see a Bill Curry type hire.

I agree but as I posted, I believe the governor of Louisiana has enormous power when it comes to the operations of LSU, way more than any other state governor over a state university, so there ain’t nobody who can stop this dude from getting involved.

I doubt Woodward is around when a new coach is hired.

There's some other issues besides just the BK thing.

What’s LSU gonna pay to get rid of Woodward and who were the bozos that hired him in the first place?

Landry doesn't give a shite about LSU, he's a ULL man. He's just a populist saying what he thinks people want to hear.

Once he realizes no one actually wants him involved, he'll remove himself from the issue, much like his fake tiger stunt that no one liked.

It's still incredibly short sighted to say the taxpayers are responsible for the buyout, when he was a part of the decision making that caused a buyout to happen. I'm sure he isn't concerned about any blowback though because he knows the taxpayers won't actually pay anything, it just sounds good right now.

Woodward makes less than LSU's defensive coordinator, his current contract runs through spring 2029, not sure how a "buyout" works there if there is one.

So another three or four million spent on someone to go away.

What the frick is it of his business? If Louisiana is anything like Alabama, then the state itself only pays the coach like $200k a year.

The rest of the salary is paid for by separate organization.

I would think they will offer a contract similar to what A&M did with Elko when he was hired, modest base salary with lots of incentives.
