Said it before- any one of the dipshits on this board could make a big hire if we had an open checkbook. Money whipping Mulkey does not impress me for a number of reasons- WBB is a money loser, she’s at the tail end of her career, and even the best WBB programs get little attention. The baseball hire looks good but remains to be seen. He has done nothing to straighten out our compliance department and Wade continues to twist in the wind.

He was responsible for the worst contract in CFB with Jimbo and extended Orgeron. Tell me again why we should believe he is going to make a good football hire and not throw a cagillion dollars at the latest flash in the pan?

75 million for Jimbo...in today's market for a competent coach who has won a title and in his 50s...is market... A$M has billions...no big deal...

Mulkey is like bringing Saban back to LSU... if you can you do it.

Woodard was a popular upgrade over Alleva.

Why aren't people ever happy with anything?

The hires he’s made at his prior jobs and thus far at LSU.

Nobody drew a comparison to alleva?
75 million over TEN years for Jimbo is retarded by anyone’s standards, specifically for a guy who won a single title and FSU was headed toward the shitter before he left.

I like the mulkey hire, but we overpaid. Period. She was clearly already interested in coming home. So the idea that he somehow lured her here is BS. 2.5 million a year in a sports program that consistently loses money, with an administration that is trying to make athletic revenue part of the general fund is again, retarded. But not as retarded as saying its like bringing Saban back........

Well, this is the holy grail of hires at LSU. The one many have been waiting for.

I think he will make a good hire, until proven otherwise.

You minimized every positive, and then tried to harp on any negative you could.

Mulkey is probably the second biggest name is women's college basketball. Downplay that shite all you want, but that's a major hire for LSU.

So what about this makes you not trust Woodward to make a football hire?


quote:

Wade continues to twist in the wind.


What do you expect him to do with Wade? Fire a coach, who has LSU basketball trending up, before the NCAA does anything? What are you expecting him to do currently?

quote:

If aTm said to go out and get Jimbo, no matter how much money it took, then he accomplished his mission. Jimbo was the big name in college football at the time.

quote:

and extended Orgeron


So tell me that you've ever seen a single situation where the head coach didn't have something in his contract that stated that the coach receives a bump in pay to the top 5 of the nation/SEC whatever for winning a NC? I think that's standard is every single contract (it was in Saban and Miles' here as well). These terms would have been drawn up by Alleva, not Woodward.


What else you got?

While I disagree with 99% of this post-because I do believe Woodward is top notch and knows what he’s doing-I do agree with this comment…why in the world would we make a large investment in something that loses money? You wouldn’t do it in your personal finances…why would you do it for your organization?

Everyone on this board wants O gone.
Again, partly because Woodward signed off on hiring
not one but two first time play callers.

You are proving the point for me.

Your point is that Woodward is responsible for Orgeron's staff hirings? Holy shite, some of you will go to any lengths to defend this fricking idiot.

You are doing nothing but making your beloved head coach look even more idiotic by saying he isn't capable of hiring his own staff. So why the frick is he here?

you think the AD has the ability to force experienced coordinators to come work for Orgeron?

Because it's not the university's money. Boosters are paying for that sh!t. In Mulkey's situation, there is on booster in particular that put up the money and said go get Mulkey. And Woodward did just that--masterfully.

You don’t have a choice, so I wouldn’t worry about it.
