Wild coaching carousel article

quote:

Days before last weekend’s regular-season finale of games, Woodward headed into the final stretch of his six-week search, juggling communication between what appeared to be his final two candidates. He made one last call to close friend and A&M coach Jimbo Fisher to gauge his interest before entering more serious discussions with Trace Armstrong, the agent for Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly.


Personally don't really care but it's always nice to set the record straight. Kelly is a good coach but I think the cultural fit is going to be a lot more of a problem than most LSU fans think. I guess we will see.

LSU was just trying to get him a raise and a longer contract.

Duhhhh

It’s been known since O was fired that Scotty would give Jimbo a call

Kelly was option 3

That’s one hell of a list of coaches Scotty had

Keeping his back-up plan on simmer.

Fortunately didn’t need as primary target accepted.

Do fans really think that ADs put all their eggs in a single coaching basket without having 2-3 alternatives?

It would have been really embarrassing for LSU to hire a coach that they beat with 3rd and 4th stringers and their coach on his way out with his bags packed for Destin with Brandy

Poor cultural fit? Didn't you hear his southern accent at the basketball game?

Explain. Be specific. Everyone keeps parroting this, but no one can substantiate it. How, exactly, will it inhibit his ability to coach his players?

We just fired a guy who was a perfect "cultural fit".

Well for once A&M fans and LSU fans are in total agreement:

-we’re both glad Woodward didn’t get his #1 target

cultural fit


This truly is retarded. Is Nick Saban a good cultural fit in Alabama? He looks down on those inbred gumps. He blasted their asses two weeks ago on his radio show. The whole cultural fit thing is dumb. Quit saying it.

Exactly. 99% of LSU fans didn’t want Jimbo in the first place.

SI the bastion of honesty and fair reporting.

Look no one is denying Jimbo got a call. Him and Woodward are close. What LSU has said there was never really any significant interest on either side whatsover.
Aside from Woodward many in LSU (this is fact) did NOT want Jimbo and the majority of the Fan base for sure did not.

I know you aggies are trying to make yourself feel better having lost yet again and this time to a really bad LSU team of walk ons and 3rd teamers. (Now 9-2 since joining the SEC and 1 is an *) if you want to feel better by believing this. OK we wont ruin your party. But sheesh let it go.... No one cares. We didnt want Jimbo and he made it clear he didnt want us. Who cares !!!

You believe this? How was Saban a "cultural fit", Bertman? Geezus you Ags are delusional. How'd your last game against LSU work out? Could not beat a moron from Larose.

It would be awesome if BK leaned into this fake accent thing completely.
