1. She is from Franklinton, Louisiana
2. She has 27 years experience as a head coach.
3. Her first head coaching job was at Loranger HS. She won a few state championships there.
4. She’s worked her way up from there, going to NAIA, junior college, now D-1 Troy University. She turned every one of those programs around and made them championship level. She took Pensacola State (used to be Pensacola Junior college) to a few Final Four’s, was named National Junior College coach of the year.
5. Just a few weeks ago, her Troy Trojans, a 15 seed, almost beat #2 seed Texas A&M. If it weren’t for a very bad call, they would have had a chance to win it in the last few seconds.
6. As a bonus, her husband is a high school head football coach. He won a state championship a few years ago. I added that because I know how much Louisiana loves high school football!

If given a chance, she could make LSU a National Championship program!!!

You have been pushing this really hard on here. Is she your sister or something?

She is young seems to have a fire and would come at low cost which if you aren’t hiring Kim is important.

How about Nell Fortner? My mom is friends with her, says she loves Louisiana and is definitely a top notch coach. No inside info here, but is she a realistic candidate?

Does Woodard have a Ponamsky that reads the Rant and reports back?

You're a good salesman. I've never even heard of her, but I'm in!

I almost started this thread about her this morning. I second your opinion. She is highly thought of as a coach in my area. Would be a fantastic hire that could start off with a cheap contract with lots of incentives

She was the girls coach while I was there. Our girls team won their first state championship in '96, the year after I graduated.

CHR would be on the "Back Up Plan" if the K Lady 2.0 can't be landed.

This is LSU. Raise the standards and go after somebody with more proven experience winning Conference and National Championships though.......

I agree she should be given a serious look. She has been successful at every level of coaching and should come at a reasonable price. Give her the reigns and see what she can do.

I went to college with her. She was pretty cool. That's all I got.
