If this doesn't work out (i.e. fans don't support the hire or losing records going forward), who is to blame?? Perception will not be kind.

This will follow him around the rest of his life. He has lit himself on fire and will be public enemy #1 and HATED by LSU fans from here on out.


WOW its astonishing

Yes, that's why I don't think he's going to meddle in the actual hire.

This happens in Louisiana, it's dumb, but it happens

No this won't cause us to spiral into irrelevancy or chase off a coach imo.

This is overly dramatic Sally. The boosters influenced this far more than Landry. Kelly was a failure and Woodward completely screwed up his last 2 football hires. He's left two football programs worse off in his wake.

The ONLY silver lining is if this helps him become a one term governor.

If they don't get Saban, it is a bust....

Eh, is it though? Politicians in the state suck as a whole. Not sure it’s a silver lining whatsoever if it bombs our next hire in one of the few things our state has going for it

This is potentially the beginning of a major down turn in LSU athletics. Prepare yourselves

It doesn't matter. He has given the appearance of effectively neutering the process, so if the hire is a dud, it will be perceived to be, rightly, on Landry. If it's a home run, it is all going to be forgotten.

Its called perception. He put his face and voice all over this shitshow. We'll see how it shakes out and how it is remembered.

Not true, Landry has had it out for Woodward since the election when Woodward aligned himself with Waguespack. The campaign money Landry lost is what this is all about. He’s been waiting for his moment to go after Woodward. Maybe Woodward did need to go but Landry made sure to put on a show to force him out. He can say he’s looking out for LSU’s best interest and the tax payer but this was all political and LSU can potentially suffer because Landry acts like a 12 year old

It doesn’t matter. If this next coach doesn’t work out I mean it when I say Landry will be the most hated politician in Louisiana history and it won’t be close

Right wrong or indifferent that is a 100% fact

I thought Woodward and Saban were really tight. As if anyone could convince Saban it would be Woodward.

Perhaps I am wrong. I thought I read Woodward even reached out to Saban during the last hire? Not for the job, but as a friend.

Are you saying he screwed up hiring Coach O? The coach that put together the GOAT college football team? Look I get that O got completely lazy after the Natty and lost the team but damn I will take all that considering he had that one unbelievable season

Thats the thing, he put himself into a situation where he can only take the blame and really get no credit

It was a wildly horrific move for a politician

What shitshow? Getting rid of a subpar coach and an AD who screws up his greatest responsibility? This football season has been a shitshow. This is the treatment.
