As long as Jay Johnson is happy "this is fine"

Woody didnt even hire Jay. He tried to hire that asshat in Florida.

That gal that went to Nevada hired Jay

of course lol

So Woodward only gets the credit for the bad hires now.

I give Woody credit for his actual hires. But everyone in the know on that baseball search is aware that his first choice was fricking Sully and it wasnt until the board said NAH that we got Jay.

So it’s like every other fricking coaching search in the history of the school?

By all accounts, Kelly wasn’t his first choice either. So does “the gal from Nevada” catch the blame for that one too then since she gets credit for Jay?

Correct. His first choice was god damn Jimbo (which is how he got that stupid extension wrongly attributed to Woody).

Woody is the greatest fundraiser in the history of LSU athletics.
That doesnt necessarily make him a great AD. And his meddling in the early NIL days put us way behind. Slow to see how NIL was actually going to be used. Capped how much recruits could get (wonder how DK Moore and Colin Simmons got away?)

A new AD, who gives full autonomy to Austin Thomas to run the damn Football Ops as it needs to be run would be a godsend.
Take that 5% rev share away from WBB and spread it around to Jay as well.
