Literally the only MLB I’ve watched this year has been 2 pitches before the dodgers tied it and ever since then.

I’ve met him a couple of times and am a big fan of his.

When he became the dean of the college of business at McNeese I was in my final year of accounting. He made it a point to routinely visit classrooms. It didn’t give the vibe of micromanaging professors but more like he had a genuine interest in getting to know every person in that building.

I think the OL problems have much more to do with coaching than talent. If we had someone in place that could actually coach these guys, I think they could be pretty good.

I think it is more likely that they contact him about the AD position.

I still don't believe he would take that position but it is more likely than HC. Even if it is a 1% likelihood to 2%.

Frank is going to repeat the O-interim approach of going above and beyond to drum up the support of the former players in the hope that MAYBE he will be considered for the permanent job.

Frank is fresh off of bad stints as a HC at UTSA and McNeese. He will not be considered for the HC position at LSU.

Our men’s team is in the shitter

It's not like the MM hire was WTF hire at the time. Same goes for the Kelly hire. Most people said we needed an "adult" to come in and right the ship which Kelly did the first year. He just got lazy after that which is still pretty puzzling since it is obvious to everyone that Kelly really wanted a championship at this level to cement him as a great coach.

I don’t think Woodward is going to get fired, and he probably shouldn’t be.

I don't think he should be either but honestly if it is true that Woodward has no say in this coaching search and hiring process, idk how you retain him. You can't have an AD that gets zero say in the football program. No AD would want to work like that and many coaches aren't going to want to work under a system like that.

Yes, and he was successful until he thought he was smarter than everyone else.

i dont know about the Air Force, but generally speaking they try to get spouses stationed together if possible because it's good for retention. that said, needs of the military come first, and if they cant do it, they wont.

This.

Really the only time I saw where spouses didn't get stationed together was if one of them got orders to South Korea.

That kind of a golden parachute takes away incentive to do well

You don't become a CFB head coach by being driven entirely by your paycheck. The ego of a head coach wanting to be the best and win drives them.

Kelly failed, but it wasn't because he didn't want to win.

Anyone who denies the fact his INITIAL contract was still 10 years

Link the posts of people denying that.

Jimbo wasn't far removed from a NC and A&M had the financial resources to give him what he wanted. Woodward did his job.

If LSU approaches Kiffin, 2 details that could determine how that plays out

Posted by ApisMellifera on 10/27/25 at 10:25 am

1. Did Woodward reach out in any capacity to Kiffin during his last coaching search?

Does Kiffin feel slighted by Woodward for not at least being contacted during the last search assuming Woodward is still the AD? I have to assume that an AD throws out feelers to multiple coaches even if they aren't high on the list. If Kiffin wasn't given that courtesy, does he have the mindset of "you had your chance" and passes?

2. How much (if at all) does Kiffin get Saban's input on his decision?

Kiffin has a lot of respect for Saban. I also assume Saban thinks very highly of the LSU job. If he asks for Saban's two cents, I think he tells Kiffin to take the LSU job (assuming things are right with the offer and athletic department).
