The bad was bad. Like really bad. The way he handled the Will Wade situation was awful, made worse by the lack of success the program has had since that firing. He let politics and optics influence his decision making far too often.

Ultimately though, his greatest mistake was whiffing on a football coach, and saddling that coach with an exorbitant contract with no safety net.

The good cannot outweigh these sins and Woodward will be loooked at an all time bad AD because of it

You attached your highest revenue generators to anchors that needed ridiculous amounts of money to course correct or suffer pretty irreparable damages….both were easily avoided and called out in real time, not hindsight

Scott became a dinosaur quickly as the landscape of college sports suddenly changed from under neath us and he was ill prepared

My only positive I can say is Kelly face planted at the perfect time to nab Kiffin

Obligatory statement: "Not that I liked Woodward". But why does TD and the Rant have to go scorched earth on everybody from the past? Things go bad for Les (and I agreed he needed to go) and we blame the whole thing on him. Then Coach O (and I agree it was time), then Woodward (he needed to go). Then McMan (it's time), but we have to let some of these people rest from your minds. We don't have to keep blaming them for it all. Our system made some bad decisions along the way as well. Move forward with the people we have and stop blaming a fire in Cali on Les or etc.
