how? coaches currently coaching?
through their agents and talking to the big boosters and Bos members who are friends with woodward.
Its not hard for an agent to pick up the phone and call Collis Temple and say "tell Scott to keep my guy in mind if a change is made"

No. Those guys are current head coaches and that kind of stuff usually stays tight lipped, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

I feel like an AD should always be looking at coaches. You never know what may happen with yours. Medical issues, Perv issues, sucking issues.

I don't give a shite about skin color. Just hire a damn good coach. Don't hire a coach for the sake of meeting a skin color quota. That is a sure fire way to set up for failure. Just hire the best damn coach.

You forgot a huge buyout too. Woodward isn’t out to get O, but he’s not willing to go down with O if this shite show isn’t cleaned up soon.

I'm sure every agent (except maybe O's) is thinking the LSU job will likely be open. Obviously, that could change depending upon how the season goes.
Woodward is the bozo that UNNECESSARILY gave O a big salary bump following the 2019 season (NO ONE was ever going to try to steal O away from LSU) and he is going to be the guy that will have to go to the boosters to fund the unnecessary buyout he created. These are likely the same boosters that had pay for last year's buyouts to overhaul the staff so that may not be all that confident in Woodward considering just one year later he would be asking them to, again, buyout virtually an entire staff. Particularly in light of the fact he was the moron that signed off on Pelini's big contract...despite the fact Pelini (like Orgeron) had virtually no market demand to justify that salary. In other words, his "credit score" with the money people may not be all that high right now.
I know many on here think Woodward is some sort of demi-god. But he very much got drunk on the success of 2019, as did so many, and overspent because of it rather than seeing a POTENTIAL world beyond 2019. That's not to say he couldn't make a great hire. And I am CONFIDENT he wouldn't just make the "easy" and lazy hire like Alleva did. But he may have his hands tied a bit more than what most assume.
Yes, O had the 2019 season. But his tenure has also had a lot of "dead money" in it as well. He forced the AD to buyout two high priced coordinators after just one season, as well as a co-OC. If this year crashes then the AD is going to have to both buyout a HC and entirely new staff again, after one season, AND spend a ton to bring in a NEW staff. That is a lot of money to ask people for in a relatively short period of time.

Exactly. Agents have a self-interest in jobs opening up.

Don’t forget that president CRT has to sign off on the hiring. He probably wants Stump Mitchell
Posted on 9/15/21 at 10:49 am to Byrdybyrd05
I mean, if I were an agent I would be saying the same thing. I think everyone believes the LSU job will be open.
Posted on 9/15/21 at 10:55 am to Jay Quest
Agreed, 100% expect a black guy to be hired

Yeah, Ed O at LSU with Joe Burrow is 25 and 3 and without Joe Burrow is 21 and 12. That’s a 63% win rate. And if the season goes at all like it looks like it might go, you’re looking at another .500 season at best. So 26 and 18. That will put him at below 60%.
We’re talking about being the 4th best team in the SEC West if we’re lucky. We may be worse than Ole Miss and Arkansas. Hell, not sure we’re better than Moo State. We may be dead last and not win a single game in the SEC.
Anyone looking at this, agent or otherwise, has to be thinking to themselves that this is about to blow up.

I probably shouldn’t have said anything. I’m not some deep insider, but whatever small information that does trickle to me I probably won’t and shouldn’t post.
