He said that Brian Kelly has a lot of relationships to work on with boosters who used to step up for key players. He said that Coach O and Derek Ponamsky ruined a lot of those relationships. Brian Kelly had a big mess to clean up on and off the field but I’m glad that he is the one to do it. Once he can fix those issues with the big time money people, we still have a ways to go but we will be better going forward NIL wise.

Don’t surprise me at all. Ed O screws everything up. That natty got to his head. He couldn’t handle the success

I’ve posted that big time boosters have sat on their hands with this NIL thing, and it was because of O and the massive payout he got. People don’t want to hear it, but that’s the truth.

It’s going to take some time to build back those relationships and get Kelly’s system going.

Woodward has done more to damage LSU athletics than anyone in recent memory. He has run off many long time LSU contributors by injecting leftist politics into LSU athletics.

Maybe it's just me Byrd-man. That says to me Kelly has a lot of relationships - problems of his own making? - to repair with boosters. No?

Is there anything O didn’t completely destroy before collecting his check and rolling out?

My God. Ed’s the gift that just keeps on giving…

I’m tremendously thankful we have a veteran coach like CBK at the helm. Woodward knew exactly what he was doing and what type of coach LSU needed…and we still have a top 10 overall recruiting class coming in.

Damn impressive for CBK.

The wording on this thread title is so awkward. The back-door nature of this topic inside the post is embarrassing.

What do you mean? They made illegal payments before NIL?

Pandering to the boosters seems like the worst part of being HC or AD at a program like LSU.

Don’t blame O one bit for pissing them off

Pulling this out of his arse. The old regime lost the boosters because they lost control of the program. Kelly simply gaining control (and obviously winning) will repair these relationships.

LSU actually has a good somewhat healthy booster support system when compared with say the TX schools. Those schools don’t have effective boundaries.

Time will continue to show that O was always Ole Miss O while here. He benefited from a miracle season that came together because of the players and coordinators we had.
