re: We are at the point where if it’s not a home run hire, it’s a big failure on Woody’s part

LSU football is a hitters park.
Any solid contact seems to be what most would consider a home run in the end

Well if he can’t get who he wants because of some fundamental problem with LSU then Woody will not be here long and we, as fans, need to demand to know what the real problem is.
I frankly don’t think we have a fundamental problem other than a perception issue with some fans. They look in the mirror and see ugly when the reality is beauty. We have the best program in the country. It just needs to be sold.
The money we spend on football is actually perverse. Any coach that doesn't want to take it, has confidence issues.
Again tho; if woody can’t get who he wants, he will hit stick around

won't know for several years whether the hire is a homerun or not

Tucker- foul ball
Aranda- double
Fisher- free walk or pass
Riley - Home Run
The rest are at the bottom of the order.

I dunno. If Woodward hires someone that comes in and kills it then it’s a home run. You don’t call a home run before the batter has swung, it’s the result that matters. If he gets the right guy then all is goid

The program that Saban built has officially been burned to the ground in record time by Ogre.
Do not buy in on that any coach can win a national championship concept that everybody uses to gloss over a possible failure to get a Tier 1 coach despite offering obscene record breaking compensation.

Riley was just a hot name and he’s done pretty well at Ou. Aranda didn’t want to be a head coach supposedly but look what he’s done with Baylor. Point is it may be some coach that’s not on anyone’s radar but that doesn’t mean the hire will be a failure.

ANY coach is an upgrade from the last two potatoes we were stuck with since 2004. Give me a check and a headset and I would be an upgrade. Let's just be real.
No matter who he hires, it's an upgrade from what we've gotten used to looking at on the sideline and in the press conferences. Relax.

It will be fine. If Riley doesn't come it's not the end of the world. He has his own set of issues that should give us at least a moment of pause. LSU can succeed no matter who the coach is, I think the last two coaches proved that.

This isn't Woodward's first rodeo. Especially when hiring high profile coaches.
Woody ain't betting his legacy on small potatoes.

It doesn't have to be a splash. How about just finding a good football coach.
You people are ridiculous.

There are coaches out there who would do worse.

Nobody's infallible, Woodward included. It's possible he may swing and miss this time.

He’s had PLENTY time to get his ducks in a row in order to make a huge splash hire.
This is the problem with a lot of this fan base. It doesn’t have to be some huge splash to get a good coach. Is Aranda a splashy hire? No he’s not, but he’s a damn good football coach. He demands discipline, toughness, and great defensive play. He also understands the importance of offense and Baylor is really good in that area as well. He’s a very well rounded coach. I mean….. how many schools with great coaches currently made some huge splash? It’s a very low number I can tell you. There are actually more cases of the big splash not doing well than the other way around.

I would be ecstatic with Aranda. If he goest to USCw because we were slow playing him...

Because if you subscribe to the idea that you pay a coach based on what he's done, giving a coach that has no NC appearances the most money of any coach on a per-year basis is not a home run, it's overpaying, until he delivers the hardware.

If somebody turns the highest salary in CFB to stay at a top program and a place he likes, I dont think it's a failure.
You made a run at a guy with a big pay raise and he didn't bite.

Unless you're in those negotiations and interviews, no.
A winner is a winner, some people can see them early in their career. You overpay for potential.
