I missed this. Who had to convince Woodward to hire Jay Johnson in this case?
Ok Dave Aranda HC/Defense guru, Mike Shanahan OC.

re: What’s the difference between President and Chancellor?
Posted by NorCali on 11/4/25 at 3:38 pm to PenguinNinja
I had to look it up myself.
Provost reports to Chancellor who reports to President
Provost is the head of the academic side
Chancellor is like a CEO of the Campus
President is then analogous to chairman of the Board in a way.
All have different roles but big responsibilities and need coordination

I believe you. I don’t understand. Can someone explain?

10 year initial Contracts in college football coaches who.
Posted by NorCali on 10/31/25 at 7:57 am
I asked AI (Claude) to list all of the contracts where the initial contract was 10 years. As you can see below only 4 times, and the first was an outlier as the coach had already apparently coached for 7 games (Charlie Weis @ND)
Of the other 3, 2 had the same AD (Scott Woodward). The other one seems to be performing well (Cristobal at Miami), currently.
Scott Woodward now has an unfortunate track record of mega-misses at 2 different schools of the single most high-profile contract.
Why would any stakeholder (high dollar donor, LSU BOS, Administrators, etc) want someone with a track record of failure be the point person responsible for the next contract?
A definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and expecting different results.
Highly possible that Gov Landry was the public “voice” to put this out there but the majority of behind the scenes wanted this but needed the position cleaned up before new president arrives
initial 10-year contracts when first hired at their school:
Jimbo Fisher - Texas A&M (December 2017) - His initial deal when leaving Florida State for Texas A&M was worth $75 million over 10 years and was fully guaranteed
Mario Cristobal - Miami (December 2021) - Reportedly received a 10-year, $80 million contract when hired from Oregon
Charlie Weis - Notre Dame (2005) - Received a 10-year agreement in his first season after starting 5-2
Brian Kelly - LSU (2021) - Signed a 10-year deal worth $95 million when he left Notre Dame to become LSU’s head coach

This seems very plausible. If President snd AD are named soon your scenario becomes more plausible
Fired or Resigned???
re: Scott Woodward was not responsible for Jimbo’s buy out. Love him/hate him this is not true

First contract. 10 years 75 Million correct??
The big miss here is that they don’t have a stop for the airport in Kenner.
Ok all these naysayers do the math.
Go 10-2 and make playoffs:
1M+5M (10x0.5)+ 5M=11M
Win/bye round 1 13M
Win round 2 15M
Win title Game 18M.
9-3 no playoffs 5.5M
2 year average 18+5.5=23.5/2=11.75
Go 10-2 and make playoffs:
1M+5M (10x0.5)+ 5M=11M
Win/bye round 1 13M
Win round 2 15M
Win title Game 18M.
9-3 no playoffs 5.5M
2 year average 18+5.5=23.5/2=11.75
Listened to entire video. Maybe the way he said it wasn’t polished but what he said is true.
1. Scott Woodward did in fact bring in 2 failed college football coaches on 10 year contracts. Track record here suggests he should not be involved with picking and signing a head coach of football
2. Governor said he wasn’t picking but will have oversight by the board of supervisors
3. Governor complained about the monopolistic (my word not his) actions of the college coach agents and suggested it may need to be looked at.
How can anyone look at the current agent environment and not think there is an anti-competitive issue that may need legislation in order to fix.
Sure, a bit of political theater, but the points were not wrong.

If LSU goes 4-0, meaning winning at BAMA, decent chance of making the playoffs. You don't replace a long time loyal interim HC that makes the playoffs.
Sorry but where are you seeing all of this? I don’t doubt but want to see for myself.
Also who is responsible for oversight of the HC to make sure he is not delegating all of his work to the point he has no oversight of the program he is in charge of?
