I drank the kool aid on Woodward too, but his hire at A&M in year 4 just got beat by the guy he fired this season for incompetence.

Why do we think Woodward knows what he’s doing?

We don’t. That’s why the panic is starting to set in.

He also hired Bo Pelini who was historically awful at LSU.

Because he didn’t control the Jimbo hire

For A&M's standards, he hasn't failed.

Cool. He got his man, Jimbo’s success has nothing to do with it. He’s basically knocked it out of the park on every head coaching hire he’s made in his entire career

In all fairness, A&M is a big reason why A&M suck. You can’t fix soft.

Who do you think A&M could have gotten that was better? They were a nobody when Jimbo was hired.

It’s A&M and he got their #1 target.

Sumlin was just about as good - 9 & 3 8 & 4 coach.

I disagree. Jimbo was a bad hire. But perfection can't be achieved.

He went out and got the exact person A&M wanted. Regardless of what he’s done there, it was exactly the hire he needed to make.

Hard to judge a hire on current record. If it was a highly touted guy and he exceeded expectations, or a widely unlikeable hire and he sucked…then yea.

But Tom Herman was a slam dunk hire…until he wasn’t. Same with SO MANY hires out there.

ADs can’t predict the future but Jimbo was a home run hire when it was made. He hired exactly who he and A&M wanted

You don’t think getting Jimbo at A&M was a good hire? I honestly can’t handle how dumb of a take that is

You want to go hire USC's AD since he got Lincoln Riley?

The boosters at A&M wanted Jimbo. Woodward delivered.

A&M has cultural issues no coach will ever be able to fix
