With Will Wade departed, what LSU coaches remain from the old Admin? Woody has made massive changes, how would you rate his moves?
Coach O - gone
Will Wade - gone
Nikki Vargas - gone (forced out depending on which baw you talk to)
Soccer - vacant on arrival
P Money - gone (retired?? depends)
Swimming - gone
Womens VBall - gone (retired - some people say other)
Gym - gone (retired?? some baws say different)
MTennis - contract up at end of fiscal year - Chris Brandi is out on administrative leave for the season - should be gone
WTennis - who knows? some baw told me their house is for sale on the market
Any other notable moves within his first years? How would you rate this?

I have no problem with any of those except for DD retiring. I wish she was still coaching.
Woodward wasn't hired to hold hands with the coaches. He was hired to make LSU as good as it can be athletically, even if it means cutting out the low-level street hustlers like Will Wade.

A little too early to tell, no? FWIW, "Woody" is replacing two coaches with National Championships and one coach who resurrected the LSU basketball program from the dead.
I wasn't impressed with how he handled the football hire, though (and I really like the Kelly hire). I also wasn't impressed that he paid Ed O his full buyout - especially given that the program was managed like a fricking gang. Finally, I wasn't impressed that he kept Wade on for a couple of years after significant smoke starting coming out, reaping the benefits of Wade and his success, only to now can him.
In short, I'm not impressed with obsese "Woody" at all.

If he doesn’t hire a coach that is still coaching in the tourny and this hire drags on past the tourny the heat should be on him.
UF and UGA already hired guys

His negotiation tactics fricking suck. All he does is pay large sums -- look at Ed O receiving the full buyout when, with a little bit of leg work, you could probably fire the guy for cause. Then, he wants to back a Brinks truck up for fricking Jimbo, seriously? At the end of the day, Kelly was his third choice, and it took him $95mm.
Woody is fat and lazy. He hires "big name" guys by giving them big checks. That's it. Any imbecile could do that.
We'll see on the baseball hire. It's way too early to tell. Good luck luring a big name basketball coach. "Woody" essentially drained the program.
ETA: "Woody's" whole firing Ed O early on and keeping him around was also another real fricking brilliant move. This guy sucks.

Right, because this is exactly the same situation.

It's not Woodward's fault he had to clean out Alleva's idiots. Some of those Coaches had stayed beyond their spoil date and had to be moved along.

Haha UGA is retarded for hiring Mike White.

No one knows how damaging Ed could’ve been to the program if he would’ve gone rogue. You don’t have the information to be impressed or unimpressed with that situation

So you’re pissed that Woodward attempted to keep Wade until he didn’t have a choice because he, as you just said, revived a dead LSU program, but also pissed because he didn’t fire Wade immediately?
You’re the definition of a dumb arse ranter FYI. Your petty, scatterbrained “thought” process is why Louisiana is a shithole despite sitting on a disproportionate amount of oil money. It sounds like you just don’t like Woodward because he isn’t a baw and want to grasp at straws to justify that

Yea it’s obviously personal for that poster. Woodward can’t win for some of these fools. “But he pays over market value!!”
Like you said, it’s no wonder this state is in the shape it’s in.

Yea woodys negotiating skills ain’t the best. He also has dog shite timing. If we fire O with cause before the year we can do it on the back of title ix and look like we are cleaning up things.
