I understand he is great at acquiring top coaching talent, but in what other ways will he be so much better than Alleva?

FWIW, I’m just stoked Alleva is gone and I love having a homeboy in that position

He wants athletic program to do more than “being in the hunt”

He will clean house in the compliance department and make the athletic department as a whole more sports friendly.

Being proactive instead of reactive when it comes to critical time sensitive decisions for one. Identifying changes in the college sports landscape and leading the charge. Upgrading shite that NEEDS to be upgraded. The dude has a fricking SACK.

How about facilities? Was he responsible for the overhaul at A&M?

Provides an immediate reset on the athletic side of the LSU campus. Reenergizes the LSU booster base. Athletic Donations have been down.

Biggest thing that jumps out? The coaches won't have the damn Gestapo (compliance department) breathing down their necks and dictating their moves to them anymore. It'll be more like what they had when he was here the last time and Saban sent Bahnsens arse to ticket sales. Don't be shocked when the compliance department gets gutted and some new faces are working there.

Oh, I don't know... maybe not unjustly suspending coaches in rush to judgement, based on an online article, while they're making a national title run in a major college sport?

That was not his talent, it was TAM being so desperate and trying to buy its way to success. Actually, Woodward leaving means you can't buy everything with money.
