I am indifferent to his firing, but to suggest there is no reason he should still be here is wrong.

If Landry hadn’t run his mouth all over media, would you still feel the same?

He gave Orgeron an extension when no other school was out there trying to poach him and cost donors over $18m.

He ran off the best basketball coach LSU had in 15 years to save football and now your second biggest financial team is in disarray. McMahon still has four years left and a $7.5m buyout.

He swung and missed with Brian Kelly and now donors are on the hook again for anywhere between $25-50million+.

He backed into Mulkey because she was leaving Baylor no matter what and was positioning herself for LSU.

He wanted Kevin O’Sullivan and missed. His assistant AD did the leg work to get Jay Johnson.

Before Landry got involved, damn near everybody on this board wanted Woodward's head on a pike.

Now that Landry got involved (I'll agree it's not a great look for LSU) all of the sudden Woody was the cat's meow?

You wanted Woody gone for giving away the store with shitty contracts for coaching hires? Yes?


This is what’s dumb about this board. Nearly everyone wanted Woodward gone, and the few that said it might be a bad idea got downvoted into oblivion.

Now that Landry is “involved” we need to keep SW. frick that.

Though I don’t like the way he was fired getting rid of Woodard was the best thing to happen to LSU. frick him. He fricked up that football higher.

Masochistic?

If so, I say we set a chair on the sidelines around the 50 and prop up a mannequin with Curley Hallman's face on it.

Scott Woodward is the most overrated man in LSU history.


If he wasn’t a good ole boy no one would care

The contracts Woodward gave out are not unique. It’s market value for top level head coaches.

But what is unique is that 3 major contracts that Woody made had to be bought out before completion (Fisher, O, and now, Kelly).

Without the extension Bjork gave Jimbo that buy out would have been small, O extension made sense after 2019, only “bad” one is Kelly and most people thought that was a great hire at the time.

Not at all unusual and he wasn’t responsible for the amount of fishers buyout. He also had nothing to do with fishers downfall at Tamu.

And both fisher and Kelly were high demand guys with broad approval from the boards and admin of both schools

We’ll be very hard pressed to find a better AD than Woodward. Little Landry had a personal grudge against Woodward and that’s why he’s gone

Hiring Schroyer has to be the laziest possible move. There are so many better options out there.

No fan of how Woodward performed, but I wonder if some of this was due to the fact that he realized early on that Kelly was a massive and expensive mistake. “Meddling” was simply trying to get involved to help cover up Kelly’s shortcomings and make it work out. He’s seen enough successful football programs to know how they work and he understands LSU culture, so he tried to mediate.
