Paul Finebaum Reacts To The Ed Orgeron News & How It Was Handled

Paul Finebaum was on the "McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning" show on Monday and talked about the situation in Baton Rouge.

Finebaum credited both Ed Orgeron and Scott Woodward for how everything was handled. Per The Spun:

“I think Coach O handled it well… but if you fire me today and give me $17 million, I’ll come over and cut your grass. I don’t care,” Finebaum said. “It’s a show, that’s all it is, and it’s a show because Scott Woodward to get rid of Coach had to find a palatable way for him to exit. Knowing that he is very popular. Knowing that people in that state don’t care about all the reasons he was pushed out. They just care that he’s a product of south Louisiana. He talks the language, he won a national championship and he’s the LSU coach.

“And for that I give Woodward credit, it’s not easy to pull these types of things off. They did, it doesn’t mean anything. We know a lot of the truth now in reports, but fans don’t care about that, they only care, Cole and Greg, as you guys know, about what’s on the scoreboard, and Ed O won the last game that they saw him coach.”
