We heard like 3 different versions of it.

Did Scott go to Kelly’s office and demand him to fire Sloan? And BK responded with “No, I’m firing Davis” in which Scott got pissed and just fired him on the spot?

It’s been a week but just interested in how all this really went down now that emotions are coming to back normal here.

For this, and this alone, I will forever hate that man.

I thought just losing to them last year was bad enough. But to bring LSU football so low that we had to watch THAT shite last Saturday.

Imagine being from Louisiana, went to LSU, and ended up living in Texas because of work. You gotta go to work Monday morning and listen to a bunch A&M grad’s talk shite about LSU.

frick Brian Kelly for this.

And what’s the backstory on the extreme animosity between Landry and Scott? Or were they all hating on each other? It couldn’t have just materialized in the last few weeks. Weird stuff…

As bad as that was, that had to happen for us to fire him and not be stuck another year with that lazy unlikable loser.

I thanked them for ending the Kelly era and that we couldn’t be happier.

Took the wind from their sails;)

Seems to me based on all I’ve read….

-Boosters wanted Kelly out, Woodward wasn’t quite ready to pull the trigger yet (at least on that particular Sunday), but when Kelly got mad at not being able to fire Davis at the meeting, I’m assuming Kelly said “then you’ll have to fire me”…and Woodward obliged and said then you’re fired. Meeting over.

The reason the board wasn’t notified beforehand is likely because Scott didn’t go into the meeting intending to fire Kelly but the meeting went sideways.

He checked out after beating bama in his first season IMO

I sincerely hope LSU hires someone whose hungry vs someone whose fat.

I’d rather have an average record with dawgs than a winning (yet missing playoffs) record with with a soft roster.

Go get Kelvin and let’s ride

I think as we learn of BK’s lack of involvement that Scott’s reputation as a “great AD” will be brought into clear focus.

Yep, not to beat a dead horse, but more and more is creeping out, although we already had enough of the 'back story' to realize Kelly was not going to work out here. His 'spoiled' comment destroyed him with the fans as well as the media, then the A&M debacle was one of the low points in the history of LSU sports. I still get pissed off thinking about Aggy celebrating in Tiger Stadium!

Well, I do not subscribe to that…journalistic doggerel. Maybe someone will excerpt its essential elements.

Woodward and Kelly had not been seeing eye to eye for at least a year. Kelly knew his days were probably numbered here.

After the A&M loss, Woodward had gotten approval to fire whoever needed to be fired. He asked Woodward to fire Sloan to which Kelly balked which put woody in a corner. Next step was firing Kelly which created a shouting match wherein Kelly supposedly yelled at woody that he (woody) was going to be next and it spiraled downward from there.

Little Landry wanted to make a spectacle out of it so he later called a meeting at the mansion for all but Woody to attend. First sign that woody’s days were numbered. Lil Landry made it clear at that meeting that Kelly was to be fired and he also said that he wanted woody gone too. Kelly had already been fired tho but lil Landry wanted that credit.

What’s interesting is that there are board members who like Woody. Some you could say are close to him.

Let’s see how things shake up on that board…
