I’ve read 3 articles so far on ESPN that Woodward and LSU are extremely likely to go for a P5 coach and not a G5. They referenced Woodward’s past hires as a reason. Seems like they’re assuming too much.

Especially since he hired a G5 coach from Boise St to come to Washington

One P5 hire, one G5 hire and one OC from a P5 hire. Not exactly a pattern there.

Chris Petersen wasn't a typical G5 coach - he had multiple BCS bowl wins during his tenure at Boise State.

If Napier had multiple NY6 bowl wins at ULL then I'd be fully on board.

Well, his last 4 hires have all been P5 head coaches, and with this being the biggest hire of his career. He isnt stepping backwards to do it

Others football hires:
Sarkisian - P5 coordinator who lost only 5 games over 4 years
Peterson - 5x conf. winner, 2 undefeated seasons, 3 one-loss seasons

As in all of life, follow the money. ESPN doesn't get the clicks from an article about G5 coaches that it gets from mentioning P5 coaches.
