With this being Woodwards last football coaching hire, does he try a similar method?

His last two hires were jimbo and Kelly. He clearly has a type. I just don’t see a world where he goes after a hot younger name. Feels like he’s going to go after one of the few big names out there because with his job on the line he’s not willing to take a chance. That may not be a bad thing but I think the idea of lsu hiring a young up and comer is off the table.

Woodwards to do list should be :

1)Call Saban

2)Get Kiffin

Thats it.

I’d be okay with a hot up and coming name. Keep in mind that’s what Saban was when we hired him.

Woodward can't be allowed to make the next hire. After extending Orgeron, giving Kelly a 10 year contract, his next hire will permanently cripple the football program.

I don’t remember the details about Coach O, but did he not deserve a raise? Hindsight is always 20/20

I understood hiring BK after O letting the inmates run the asylum.

SW hired Kim and Jay. Big time publicity for those small programs.

Who do you want leading the search?

Well he killed the hire for Baseball! Went after a young up and comer! Why wouldn’t he do that for football?

Woodward will not be making the hire! A lot of the big money people dislike him. He is a deadman walking. Once the new president is appointed, Woodward will be gone.

Jay Johnson was not a young up and comer. He had taken Notre Dame to Omaha

He went for Sully and was turned down.

His track record says big name big contract.

JJ was never at ND! He was at Arizona! And yes he’s young! 42 when he took the LSU job!

There was no reason to give him a raise. Yes, he won a NC, that's what he's paid to do. You see ADs give extensions to coaches they don't want to lose. Orgeron wasn't going anywhere, he had zero leverage, no other schools were inquiring about him. Sure, you want to build loyalty and reward performance, but at the end of the day, as we are all too familiar with, this is a big business, and extending Orgeron was a terrible business decision, as was giving a 60 year old coach a ten year guaranteed contract.
