I said maybe. LSU is probably the better job, but Tennessee is more than capable program to do things LSU can do imo.

Good points.

I’m fine with Woodward having more eyes on him and limitations. Definitely don’t want him with free reign like prior, but I think completely firing him would be a massive mistake

First off let me just clarify. Do I think Scott Woodward has been great? No. Do I think his contract decisions have been good? No.

However, I do think Scott Woodward has been good here in his time at LSU.

Hindsight is always a tough game to play. And Woodward has been screwed in that game. He gave life to A&M and stole a top 5 coach in the entire country when he hired Jimbo. Yes it was an absurd contract, but not as absurd as you people make it. Jimbo was extended long after Woodward left thus causing that huge buyout.

In his time at LSU he has 2 slam dunk A+ hires. 3 nattys between them. Along with this he hired Brian Kelly, who at the time he hired him was a sure fire top 10 coach a A+ hire on paper. How is it Woodward’s fault that Brian Kelly was lazy and mailed it in?

Woodward has given LSU every opportunity to be successful in a very difficult era. With him at the helm I have no doubt that LSU could shock the world and steal a coach no one thought they could. He has a lot, and I mean a lot of connections.

Does he have his flaws? Yes. Has he missed? Yes. But his good for LsU and the potential for even better outrule the negative in my opinion.

It can be so much worse than Woodward.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but I don’t think he was available.

Dude is an elite coach, but when things get tough he runs. I don’t think he wants any part of the SEC nor dealing with NIL

Thanks for providing nothing to what I just said :rotflmao:

Kelly was a great hire when we hired him. Yes it’s not looking great now, but who would have done better that was available?

Jimbo was a great hire when Texas hired him. Legit stole him from a top 5 program at the time.

Let’s not forget how hot of a name jimbo was.

Yes, I agree the contracts have been very poor especially the guaranteed money and lengths

Scott Woodward deserves some heat, but I’m not on board with firing him. Yes the contracts he has given BK, and Jimbo have turned out to be disastrous. However, Texas Am and extended Jimbo in 2021 making it a little worse for them after Scotty left.

I think he hit A++ on the baseball and women’s basketball hires. Yes, it’s not football or basketball but on paper and at the time he hired away really good coaches, especially for football.

Over half this board wanted Jimbo and the fact that they (Texas AM) were able to steal him is pretty incredible. Along with hauling in Kelly, which was probably the best hire he could have made at the time besides maybe Kiffin.

This leads me to believe that we have a shot with any coach because of this. Like for example Dan Lanning, if there’s one AD that might pull it off it’s Woodward.

Like I said, he deserves some heat, but I still think he could pull us an elite coach with him in charge :dunno:

Joe Sloan ladies and gentlemen

Gave up nearly 500 yards to ole Miss?

Lmao. Alabama looked pathetic week 1. Then they progressed.

It’s widely known we have an injured QB, and it can’t get much worse than this. We are 100th in almost every offensive category.

We have a 5th year senior QB, we have a coach who has over 300 games.

So yes, I think this offense will at least change from that. I’m not saying we will score 55 a game.
