Nobody wanted this job. Hired him knowing in 4 years we’d be shopping again, and hoped he’d stabilize the program. He’ll be paid off after the season.

No, if we were serious about a placeholder you promote Nickleberry until the NCAA concludes the investigation.

That long A%% contract says otherwise. Woodward just hired the wrong guy. He isn’t supposed to be a placeholder.

So we gave a placeholder a 50 year contract with a large buyout?

Ridiculous placeholder. Way too long.

Which was so stupid. You could get these results with a 2-4 year guy.

His contract should've had some type of performance requirements in it.

Agree, he’s just stealing from LSU at this point. He will have generational wealth for being terrible at his job.

Such a disappointment this season has become. Had high hopes this year

if that’s the case- why in the freaking world give him that kind of a contract? It’s utterly disastrous. The hire was obviously bad but the contract is a catastrophe.

He had a good resume compared to the 5 other SEC coaches hired that year. However, he has quickly proven (actually proved it in year one to those willing to pay attention) that he’s completely outclassed at this level.

The sin was not the initial hire. The sin will be not ending this waste of time after this season

His contact is a 7 course meal not a placeholder.

Halfway through the third course I think it’s time to pay the bill and leave.

Placeholders get a 3 year deal for 1.2 million. He got paid like he was Bill Self.

He must feel pretty secure because he just built a McMansion in BR.
