re: Was Pelini more of a Woodward hire or Orgeron hire?

Orgeron hire and an unbelievably stupid decision by Woodward to agree to that contract. Woodward agreed to give Pelini "Aranda" money even though there was ABSOLUTELY NO "Aranda" market for Pelini. Bo makes more than Brent Venables at Clemson!!!

NO ONE was going to pay Pelini what LSU gave him. Not even close! And I think it says a lot about Bo's career aspirations and his demand when he was seemingly more than happy to sit at home in Youngstown (mostly on Nebraska's dime) as the HC of YSU. He had no real desire to work his way back up in the FBS...until along came O and Woodward with an absurd offer Bo simply couldn't refuse.

I was thrilled to see Alleva go. But so far, all Woodward has done essentially pass out blank checks to guys who never would have gotten such at any other school...that includes making Orgeron the second highest paid coach in all of college football. If I ever need to sell something I hope Woodward is an interested buyer. I'll get 500% above market value off of him.
