This reeks of a political hit piece by someone loyal to Ed.


Who do you think he talked to on the phone today?

I don’t fault Scott. He tried to get ahead of the curve.Those who said he shouldn’t have fired O w/o his guy in place don’t know how these things are done. Leave aside people use leverage to get what they want w/o telling you what they really want, levels of interest have to be gauged before you can get the signature on the line which is dotted . There are a million ways these things get off track. But it’s like Apollo 13. Now we will see what he is made of.

Scott Rabalais obviously has junk sources - he needs to start talking to the plugged in guys on this board.

If we fired O six weeks ago only to hire Jimbo after everyone else has been retained/hired, I’m going to melt hard and would 1,000% support running Woodward out of Baton Rouge with only the suit on his back.


...the problem is that might be the best case scenario at this point.

at the former LSU offensive coordinator,


this is so dumb. Saban was the head coach and he specializes in defense.

This directly contradicts Scott W. telling people that he is you are going to love the hire. Why would he set himself up like that? I think it's been a done deal and they are waiting for the coach to finish out the current season. This article is trash


No it doesn't. That is directly in line with what the most likely situation is. Lincoln Riley was his guy and left us at the altar and now we're fricked because there wasn't a back up plan. We would have at least contacted Aranda and Napier if he wasn't super confident that he had his guy. It's too early to say the hire is definitely botched, but I'll be very surprised at this point if we get anybody better than Napier who 100% would have accepted damn near any salary in under 24 hours had Woodward actually called.

Y’all need to stop sucking off Scotty. He’s arse at his job

Can you give examples of what he's done at LSU that's been arse? His only 2 hires so far at LSU appear to bed good ones.

Rabalais had been going this for quite awhile, he’s well respected. Very seldom does he put his foot in his mouth like Glenn Guilbeau.
It’s not in turmoil, but I think they thought they had their guy with Riley. But I can understand not wanting to get into a bidding war with usc.

I’m hindsight that may have been a really great take.

It really doesn't take hindsight. He was the only person Florida talked to for a reason. I'm very high on Napier in general and am not saying that he absolutely should have been number 1 and you're dumb if you disagree, but a "whale" was always going to be nearly impossible to actually come down with and he's clearly in the Campbell, Fickell, and Aranda tier who are the top realistically available coaches. If it's not Campbell or Fickell somehow Woodward fricked up bad.

This guy has zero information, no interviews with principals at LSU, no interviews with Woodward no credible sources whatsoever. He is looking for clicks and his next paycheck by lying through his teeth to you. He is a joke.

Rabalais knows nothing factual. 100% conjecture.


Move along

Damn, it may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but somewhere down the road after this disaster is done with, Woodward is going to have to be fired. He blew this when it should have been as simple as one call to hire Aranda. But his ego and stupidity will ultimately lead to the unemployment line,

No it's not.

It's that they thought they had riley and now napier and aranda seem to be off the table.
