Too bad LSU administration refused to fire Davis on multiple occasions. Kelly wanted to but was told no on 2 occasions

Agree, Woodward and governor refused to allow Kelly to fire him last offseason and after Texas A&M game.

Kenzel went overboard on the free BK, but his mom and dad or just mom should have been invited to be on the field for senior day.
The governor has enormous influence over academics and athletics. To not want BK or other family in attendance is crossing the line.
I know Landry is very well liked here and many here voted for him but you have to at least question his influence on football program and how the state ranks among other states.

His hands were tied. He was not allowed to fire Davis.

Are they still firm on keeping Davis? They absolutely would not allow Kelly to fire him.
re: I know it's old news, but did BK think he had more time?

BK wanted to fire Davis. Governor and administration said No. I think that was when he gave up.

Its not a good look where the governor has such enormous influence over a state university from Academics to Athletics. Its really unprecedented for a governor to have such influence so that is catching media by storm. Governor dictating contracts etc...

Please keep in mind the governor had enormous influence over the firing of Kelly, termination and supposed settlement. Governor floated the idea of having Trump coach the Tigers. Not surprising the firing and settlement dispute is ugly and greatly mismanaged.
Why does LSU have an AD or Chancellor or President when the governor controls all aspects? Yes I know they are puppets, but for a University to have a strong Athletic and academics program you need independent and bright people to think on their own. I get the impression each one will be asking Landry if its okay to do this and that.

The governor has enormous influence of academics and athletics at LSU. The constant meddling leaves a bad look nationally. The state is ranked last or next to last in so many categories yet spends so much time making decisions at LSU.
Head coaches will not put up with that. The only person who would tell everyone to take a hike would be Saban. Can you imagine someone telling Saban who he will hire at offensive line coach or fire?

Governor meddling caused this mess. Another huge black eye for Louisiana and LSU.
re: At what point do coaches back away from LSU’s job opening?
Posted by Mudminnow on 11/11/25 at 7:32 am to Byrdybyrd05
I think they already are backing away. Coaches like to have a lot of control of football program. Kelly was not allowed to fire offensive line coach when it was clear was a buge problem.
Governor controls nearly everything in Academics and Athletics. Thats a huge red flag to coaches.
Now LSU is so disorganized they wont pay Kellys buyout in full with no paperwork. Now being sued.

Kelly wanted to fire Sloan and Davis. LSU administration refused to allow Davis to be fired.
The governor has enormous amount of influence on academics and athletics.
Administration would not allow Kelly to do his job.

Yes, Davis is still on staff and Woodward is gone. The governor has immense control over the university and athletics.
Kelly wanted to fire Davis last year and two weeks ago. Administration refused to fire Davis, Kelly persisted so he was then fired.
University hires seem like merely puppets for the governor. Whatever governor wants he gets.

Kelly has been wanting to fire him last year and 2 weeks ago. Was told absolutely not so he was fired.
This administration and governor has more to blame than Kelly. When the governor has so much control.
Only Saban will have enough leverage to say my way or the highway. If governor wants to meddle the fans and media will quickly turn on him.

The governor has enormous say in the program and university.
Kelly wanted to fire him last year and 2 weeks ago but was told no. LSU administration was adamant on keeping Davis.

It truly is a national embarassment for LSU where the governor has so much control of the university and athletic programs yet Louisiana ranks last or next to last in so many categories.

Our only hope is Saban to agree to be coach. You know he is not going to put up with anyone meddling in the program. Someone of his stature may actually keep the governor from controlling everything from university to athletics.
With Landry having such a heavy hand now, it will be difficult to attract a top flight coach.

When governor has nearly complete control of a university academics to athletics its not good.
This being talked about across the country is not a good thing for Louisiana or LSU.
Louisiana ranks last or dead last in so many things but governor is on every show that will give him a microphone. Giving the image he has nothing else to work on.
Then you have optics of his inner doings of having Tate ousted.

Hands are all over this and the negative media attention is warranted. All Louisiana problems and ranking last in so many categories is being brought up. Yep, governor doesnt care about the state, his main priority is LSU football coach.
Not a good look for LSU and Louisiana!
