Untrue take on Scott Woodward

You might not care and may think Woodward has been horrible. But he did a great job hiring Kim Mulkey and especially Jay Johnson. Gotta give credit if you are going to criticize.
Yes, the BK hire turned out poorly. But at the time, most who were objective and didn't immediately condemn him to hell for being a yankee, thought that it was a great improvement over a very disinterested at that time, Ed Orgeron.
But Stephen A Smith's take, as well as many fans, on Scott's failure(??) at aTm as well as the BK hire, have the story wrong.
Scott signed Jimbo to a 10 year $75M contract in December 2017. After the 2021 season and in response to the rumor that LSU was going to bring Jimbo home to be LSU's head coach, the new aTm AD increased and extended Jimbo's contract to a full 10 years again for $100M.
Scott Woodward had left aTm and become LSU's AD in 2019 and had fired Ed O in 2021.
Jimbo was never considered or vetted by Scott's office for the LSU job in 2021 but the rumor that LSU was going to offer him the job was leaked from LSU AD office and started by Scott.
So he leveraged the open job to get aTm to spend more and commit longer to Jimbo while he was pointed at hiring Brian Kelley.
Call him out if you want but he broke it off in aTm in 2021 & they paid for it dearly.
So, Stephen A., get the story right please! BTW, if LSU doesn't settle with BK for a lump sum, the $54M payout will be mitigated substantially by BK's new job, which his ego and recent failure will REQUIRE him to take next year.

LSU hates every AD within 3 years

quote:The liquidated damages clause, which required A&M to pay the full compensation due to Jimbo, with no duty to mitigate, if A&M fired him without cause was not changed by the extension. So, while the amount of the buyout would have been lower had there been no extension, it was Woodward's terrible contract negotiation on a buyout which really made a mess of the deal.

That was a fabrication by a certain agent we all know and love.

Canning will wade was a HUGE failure by woodward and hiring McMahon was an even BIGGER failure in the only other money making sport besides football.

Doesn't matter. 10 years guaranteed for a coach not named Saban is stupid, regardless of the amount.

We get it Scott, this is like the 10th time it has been posted since yesterday.
However, you did give him an absurd contract to begin with, which became even more absurd when they raised the baseline after you left.

I’m hearing JJ was his assistants find, not his.
Writing has always been on the wall about BK. Got fooled by his inflated resume.
