This isn't dodgeball where sides have to be chosen

I heavily criticized Landry for his MULTIPLE LIES at his press conference..who pays buyouts and who paid Fisher al that money. Then of course, it is NONE of his business to begin with. Now, I can criticize Woodward for his hideous hire of McMahon while caving in like a coward to NCAA threats while other schools are willing to stand up to them. Then, I will ADMIT I thought Kelly was a good hire...I did! Having said that, he didn't work out and that was on Kelly for several legit reasons...not the stupid gossipy ones which are jokes. Thus, two major sports and Woodward screwed the pooch on both. Mulkey was a layout hire. Johnson close to it. And in pro sports and college sports, you screw up hires as an AD (college) or the pros (GM), guess what, you are likely to get fired.

So to act like either Landry OR Woodward is wrong is missing the point. They both stink it up! I say both are lousy at their jobs.

I feel bad for Woodward, but he really did upset me with the handling of Wade. Never felt anything substantial would come from that and it didn't. Don't feel like getting into that debate again though.

At least Landry is focused making the BCS. Guys on the cutting edge of college football. Good to have him leaning in.

I don't doubt for a second that Woodward wanted to win a NC. But guys like Woodward and Jerry Jones WANT their football teams to be great but simply aren't competent enough to hire the right coaches apparently. Even when Jones hired Johnson for example, he couldn't handle Jimmy Johnson getting the credit. It's called "ego" and Woodward has it by the fact that he HAS to hire big name coaches and make a splash instead of finding a younger guy who might be better for LSU (talking football hire BTW).
