We're about to get a case study in collegiate athletic PR regardless w/ whoever they hire.

After the boondoggle of this weekend, this hire will attract intense scrutiny on both a local and national level.

1. Perceived elite hire wipes away all tears. All is forgotten and helps write the book how to handle a search with intense speculation and interest. National because of Orgeron being let go and fans wanting to see a worthy hire.

2. If its perceived as a middle road or underwhelming hire, how they navigate the critical eyes of their boosters, fans, etc. How they sell it publicly will be interesting because its one mans decision, not a committee how LSU does everything else at the university.

I look forward to seeing the LSU PR Machine kick in once again. Under Alleva, the approach was lockout and blockout. We'll see what Woodard does if there is indeed criticism.
