OK you're way too invested in mythologizing Woodward
This is a very weak argument.
Objectively look at the credentials won/earned by Woodward’s hires. He brings in successful coaches.
He may over pay in your eyes but he still gets great coaches.

Woodard is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.. he has his coach lined up already and is moving more in silence than the G in lasagna

Ahhh... the voice of reason in the midst of frenzy.

Hey dip shite what would pay Fisher what the money people said to do. Whatever it takes. That was not Petersens dream job. Next year dumb arse will use the excuse that his kids were in school, is why he would not move earlier, because you are probably too stupid to understand they can transfer.

I’m a big LSU fan but jury is still out on Woodward, why does everyone say he’s the best and claim it as fact? What has he done?!

Jimbo is not a "Great" coach and is being paid like he's an elite one.

If it's Jimbo, A bunch of people will be really pissed. I'll start to believe its a scam at that point.

While coaching hires are an important measure of an AD's salt, it is not the only one. Woodward has had to navigate a storm of Title IX and NCAA investigation issues, and I believe he has done an excellent job of it. Will Wade, if we are honest, most likely has some fire behind all of the smoke of the FBI tapes, but our old AD Alleva completely took the wrong approach, just as he did when was at Duke. Woodward is methodical and reserved in the way he operates. He offers nothing until he is ready to move, and he loves LSU and does what he does to protect the university. The Coach O decision was multi-faceted - both performance and off the field issue related. Rather than air all of that, we decided to pay Coach O, let him have his dignity and legacy intact, and keep a lid on the information. As far as basketball, we will refuse to give the NCAA squat. Lesson learned to those who have cooperated in the past - it earns you nothing but heavy penalties.
Do I think he is the best? Yes I do. Glad he is running the show and not Alleva, otherwise, we'd be calling up Pete Richardson out of retirement from Southern as a last minute fallback.

Hell, you're defending him hiring Jimbo
Classic binary thinking. You say Jimbo sucks at every turn, but we all know that’s just extreme exaggeration. He’s overhauled A&M’s program and built them to have lasting success, built a great defense with a DC who’s about to get a head coaching gig of his own, and has a legit shot at a number one class this year.
Did Woody overpay for him initially- yes, but he ended up being worth that contract for them, especially in the current market. It’s the extension he just got in light of the just ok on-field results that’s impossible to defend.
Jimbo’s problem is his offense and it’s why I don’t want him. However, if he did modernize it or give up control to a top young OC, he could win a few more titles. It’s the only thing holding him back, but he’s so stubborn that I just don’t see him ever letting go. That said, he doesn’t suck by any stretch of the imagination.

He definitely let the Riley rumors run too far if Riley isn’t the coach.
He could have easily asked a reporter to run an article to slow the rumor mill down.
National guys like Feldman and Finebaum have been saying Riley wasn't going to LSU for a couple of weeks. Other less sexy names were floated in the media as leading candidates.
This board just chose to ignore everything.

People make up so much shite. Why the hell would you use a rumor that you’re targeting a massive hire like Lincoln Riley as misdirection? How the hell would that be beneficial?

Also, I do believe he has been wrapped up for a while.

Bringing logic and proper English to this board is asking for trouble.
Posted on 11/28/21 at 11:23 am to CajunChewie
Agreed . I believe that was the best smoke screen ever. Riley is a white whale and everybody fell for it. That was probably the only smoke screen that could have been pulled off like that and be believed. When that much money is involved signatures not handshakes or verbals are excepted. The real coach is still there and just hasn’t been announced yet but will be soon.

Excellent post! A breathe of fresh air.

Why would he do that??
Let the rumor mill run while he operates.
