Deal Woodward worked out will be very beneficial for LSU football and next head coach

The Advocate explained how interim head Coach O has contacted LSU commits telling them “LSU is still the best place for you.” And O’s recruiting appears to be working out well for LSU so far.

The BR article sort of explained how the deal Woodward has with Coach O this early in the season, allows for LSU to work behind the scenes to make the best head coaching hire, at the same time LSU’s next coach will have a top 5 recruiter making a convincing sell to LSU recruits.



The BR paper also reported that 247 Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong explained LSU’s situation this way. “Four or five years ago, you wouldn’t fire your coach until Thanksgiving, because national signing day was in February.”

Witltfong noted “LSU is in a position where their job is open to all viable candidates and they know it. They have time to go out and make a great hire behind the scenes, and that hire can be made, depending on who they hire, Thanksgiving weekend. That Coach has three weeks to recruit for his new program before the early signing period.”
