It may seem we have been outbid, or have gotten beat to the punch on our top guys..

LSU’s problem hiring the best coach available in the past has been been bad timing, not necessarily because we weren't the best job. Lots of good schools needed a coach this year (mostly because they weren't paying their guy enough) which makes it tough on us.. just like last time, those coaches choosing to go to other big names of the past will not be as successful as they would have been coming to our rich talent pool in La, and will be shown their mistake when LSU finds its next coach.. Louisiana is an island due to our culture..Louisiana kids love LSU because they love Louisiana. The rest are just typical southern schools… they will regret it.. and the guy that chooses LSU will be glad he did.. Woodard will hire a guy that knows that, and we will keep our wall up.. for the simple fact that Louisiana is an island of culture (like no other) that our kids and their families love.. im so excited for this hire… i cant wait.. trust Woodard..
