Why was Woodward let go?

If LSU football is just going to hand out another major contract. Everybody complained about the "outrageous" contacts handed out under Woodward. "Tax payers are on the hook!"

Because when you miss on two back to back major football hires you get let go. (I know jimbo wasn’t at lsu but it is on his resume)

Because Lane was the goal and Woodward was the obstacle.

Because fat Scott demolished our money making sports with bad moves like firing Wade and bad hires
The contract is fine if the coach isn’t in a nursing home

Because he hired a coach who started mailing it in from the get-go.

We only know what Kelly’s contract was, but we’ve no official details on Kiffin’s offer.
Details like contract structure, incentives, and guarantees matter a lot.
Let’s see where the chips fall.

He’s a liberal, simple as that. Also not Landry’s “Yes Man”

Also Lane isn’t retirement age which helps. A blind person could see BK was going to mail it in

Jimbo actually won a National Championship as a head coach before being hired onto A&M

Woodward... that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

It was political. Objectively speaking.

Politics. Backed the wrong candidate for governor. Also, don’t give out 10 year guaranteed contracts.
Posted on 11/22/25 at 9:24 am to FournetteForEver7
10 yr contract given to a 60 yr old coach
or
8 yr contract given to a 50 yr old coach
Which seems worse?

For 3 reasons.
1.) Scott decided to fire Wade.
2.) Scott could have admitted his mistake last year and hire Wade back but didn’t.
3.) He decided to hire BK and not Lane when Lane wanted the job.

Probably because he fired a football coach without approval from the board as is required.

The boosters wanted jimbo and told woodward to give him whatever he wanted
BK was all woodward though and the red flags were apparent at ND

This belongs on the Athletic Director changes board.

You sound like one of the posters who said Landry was going to make us look bad and not be able to hire a coach.

That was definitely the last straw.
But it started last basketball season when there were board members along with the governor that wanted to hire Wade back. By all accounts from Lake Charles Wade wanted to come back. Woodward said no.

We also had to settle for BK.
Other big names used the LSU opening as leverage to get raises from their current employer and Riley went to Southern Cal. Kelly was all we could get.
Unless we hired a young hotshot but Woodward would have been run out of town on a rail.
