re: Why are people shocked at the overpay? Did they forget who the AD is?

Woodward is investing in LSU’s reputation as a destination school willing to pay top dollar for top assistants. That’s what we want folks. We don’t want to be a “thrifty” school. Look at Miss State in that regard

I mean, you can say that’s what he’s doing (he’s not, he’s just trying to get the best coach), that’s not the question here though. I’m not saying he’s a bad hire because I don’t know, and not all of them will pan out, the post I was responding to is the “hur durrr it’s not your money don’t worry about it.”

Losing money or making bad hires affects the program. Fans have every right to be annoyed if LSU keeps spending top dollar for shitty coordinators, especially if they’re donors or season ticket holders.
