re: Firing Scott Woodward would be Dumb

Woodward = great AD because he can overpay for big name coaches? Excellent analysis

BK was his 2nd chance. No 3rds in Tiger land

I mean, holy shite. Let's review the logic here. Woody made a bad hire (wasn't bad at the time, but in hindsight), and has made multiple good hires, resulting in 4 national championships. Yet, we are so mad about a 27 mil buyout that we are not paying and does not affect us at all, that he had to give to get said coach, that we are perfectly ok with firing him and letting freaking Jeff Landry run our athletic program down the shitter? Honestly, it is funny.

I am not mad at all. I just think its a poor decision for Woodward to hire the next coach based on the magnitude of the decision. Mulkey and Johnson were great, but he failed on this biggest hire he has to make. Look, if Skip Bertman, who is way more qualified than Woodward, had the good sense to put together a committee to get other's input, then Woodward should be smart enough to go through the motions as well. He should publicly embrace this and come out and say Landry is right.

BK was a good hire at the time who turned out to be a bad employee. You never know what you are getting when you hire anyone, you make the best decision with the information you have at the time. He cannot get this one wrong too, he needs help.

I can see that Cat lick high and LSU have certainly rallied their troops, because a few short days ago, the upvote/downvote ratio was the complete opposite to what it is now for firing SW.
Amazing.
