Was Landry wrong?

Take a deep breath….
Take off your partisan glasses….
Set aside how you feel about Landry….
Consider no one thinks it’s a good idea for the gov to be involved at a micro level…
Was Landry really wrong when he was making the point that there’s a problem when the same agent is representing the same coaches, ADs, and players? The same agent is working within their own client list to get the ADs they represent to push these huge contracts to the coaches they represent, who sign the players they represent, that play off their other clients they represent, to detriment of universities, their boosters, and the fans.
Just focus on that aspect…. Is he wrong? I don’t think he is wrong to be honest. It seems very shady
ETA: it’s obvious some of yall can’t focus on the question. Take out when he said it, where he said it, how he said it, and some of the misinformation he said about taxes paying for salaries
I’m just asking about the same agents representing the same clients and the possibility it raises in regards of collusion

Is what he said wrong? No.
Was saying it out loud at a press conference wrong? Absolutely.
There is no need to castrate any employee at LSU publicly. It serves no purpose and makes everything worse. DOn't like Woodward? Get him fired by the board. Don't publicly bash him. It looks terrible and makes LSU seem like a toxic cesspool.

He was dead wrong to do it in that setting and doing it unprepared so that he got his facts wrong. He looked like an idiot. If he wants to meddle, and we know he does, at least do it behind closed doors and keep your mouth shut in public. He just continuously makes himself look foolish.

He is not wrong about the agent aspect, but to say that the tax payers were paying the buyout is wrong.
It is also wrong to publicly critize the AD, when this should be done behind closed doors. SW is still the AD

I don't think he was wrong with that. I think the way he's going about all of this is wrong. However, we all knew it would happen when we heard he was getting involved. He's like a little kid looking for attention and approval. The fact he's a governor is embarrassing, regardless of the letter in front of his name.
ETA - also, like the guy below me mentioned, the fact he said so many things that were incorrect or lies is also a little troublesome.

He made multiple factually incorrect statements
Posted on 10/30/25 at 8:52 am to Bourre
Yes he’s wrong. Publicly dragging Woodward through the mud is wrong, saying he wrote the $75M buyout for Jimbo is wrong, saying the taxpayers are saddled with the buyout money is WRONG, and most importantly: the optics are very wrong.
Just a couple days ago, ALL sports media were declaring our open position as #1 in the nation, and now we shot ourselves in the foot and look like a clown show thanks to the clown-in-chief.

He was right but he’s in no place to outright speak like that
You could criticize him openly too

Well he did get things factually incorrect yes. His sentiment isn’t necessarily wrong I agree.
The problem is not with his sentiment, the problem is coming out and saying these things so publicly and making this look like a circus.
What coach already making millions of dollars looks at that and thinks, “yeah they’ve got it figured out over there”

Wrong in what regard?
Wrong logically? Certainly there's an argument to be made about the ethics, the opportunity for collusion, the ability to dictate favorable terms for his clients. In the same vein, the coaches have a de facto union. He negotiates on their behalf. His fiduciary responsibility is to his clients. Sexton himself is doing nothing wrong. If it's anything (big if), it's the system.
Wrong as in its antithetical to the goal of attracting a good coach here? Yeah, he's fricking wrong.

First, Kelly's agent is different from Kiffin, Saban, and others' agent. So surprise surprise, Landry was wrong about that.
Secondly, these coaching buyouts are paid 100% by TAF and donor funds, not taxpayer funds. So Landry was wrong about that too.
Third, the LSU head coach only gets a small base salary compared to his entire salary that is funded by taxpayer funds. So Landry was mostly wrong about that.
Fourth, if Sexton is so good that coaches love him, then it's the free fricking market, let them sign with whatever agent they want. Landry should understand and appreciate the free market.
Fifth, frick Jeff Landry.

Yes he was wrong because he is adding to the circus. He doesn't represent the state or the school well. If you're a high profile coach in a no nonsense situation, you're looking at this and thinking "I want no part of that shitshow".
And his comments around "metrics based compensation" are stupid. LSU is not in a position of leverage in negotiating with its next coach. If you want an elite coach, you're going to have to pay them more than CBK. It just that simple.

Landry doesn’t give two fricks about the moral or ethical aspects of anything. His only goal is advancing himself.

Outside of the obvious that yes he was wrong to open his dumbass mouth in the first place and put us in a helluva awful position to hire a quality coach
He was also wrong about who signed Jimbo to that extension
He was also wrong about the coaches all being represented by the same guy.
Yes he was wrong. Factually and otherwise

Do you see DeSantis being this public and loud with Florida’s search? How about Shapiro with Penn State? It’s not much to ask for a level of confidentiality regarding Woodward and this situation.

I dont care what party is by his name. Please keep politics out of football

His narrative about sports agents isn't wrong but his approach to this situation is as wrong as it can possibly be in my opinion. He doesn't need to be publicly meddling in this. I think he can use his influence more effectively behind the scenes.

I know it’s hard to focus for some of yall because of your hatred for Landry, I get it…
Take out when he said it, where he said it, and who said it
Is he wrong about the agent stuff? That’s all I’m asking. Does this need to be addressed?

There is a limited number of agents in this field. This is going to happen. Explain to me how it benefits Woodward in this case unless he is getting some sort of kickbacks.
But even if you think he is right, why grandstand about that now? To push to hire someone who has a different agent, like maybe Sexton, who, by all accounts, is probably the hardest of them to deal with? And in the process of making a statement, he creates an atmosphere of uncertainty for any candidates for the position. It was just assinine.

His is the ultimate pot calling the kettle black is what he is.
Takes hunting trips with injury attorneys, then vetos tort reform.
Crushes the agreed upon mendenhal fishing buffer because Omega gives him a phone call.
I promise you he doesn’t actually care.
