re: Just how much of a disaster was hiring Woodward

Woodward never would have brought Wade back and never would have hired a guy like Kiffin. After Alleva left, football won a national championship with the coach that he hired. And he also left behind one of the most successful basketball programs ever at LSU. Only for it all to fall apart with Woody firing the basketball coach and sticking his nose into the football program. Like hiring Polini.
Again, I’m not saying Alleva was a good AD. But Woodward really fricked up. It’s not exactly as easy to gauge as you think it is.

Damn are you arguing Woodward was a good AD because he’s better than Joe penis nose Aleva! If that’s the only criteria then yes, let’s crown Woodward as the best AD LSU has had since Skip Bertman.

He also hired Jay Johnson who won two baseball national championships for us and Kim Mulkey who won us our first women’s basketball national championship.
WRONGGGG! Mulkey wanted to come home and he was TOLD to hire Jay after his first two “big fish” shot him down

Jay was a great hire. Sure, give Woodward credit for that.
That’s all he did. Everything else was a massive failure. Wasted money. Millions and millions.

Alleva 1000% would have caved and also fired Wade. He was a sniveling fricking weasel and the way he handled suspending Wade and bringing him back was as bush league as it gets.
Who knows who Woodward would have hired if the stick of that whole situation hadn’t been hanging around. It sure as hell wouldn’t hunt been a mid-major coach like McMahon.
We wouldn’t have made either of the hires we just did with the money Alleva was brining into the program and we wouldn’t have anything close to this much NIL to work with.

Bulllshit. Then why did multiple other ad’s dealing with worse back their coaches?

Typical Democrat all he did was throw around other peoples money and try to make big splashes.. zero substance.

I mean maybe. Again, im not at all crowing Alleva, but Woodward really fricked up. And really at two universities. His contracts were horrible. Alleva was terrible, but he was terrible without wasting nearly as much money.

Read. I didn’t say he was good. I said he was good at fundraising, did a good job cleaning up Alleva’s shite, and left us the money and NIL structure to do what we need to do going forward. He fired himself with his stupid big decisions.

The A&M extension for Jimbo was Ross Bjork, not Alleva. The school would have owed him one year when they fired him if Bjork hadn’t extended him.
The contracts here were way too much, at least with the guaranteed buyouts they had.
What does that matter if it still results in the department having less money in the end?

This is crazy revisionist history.
Tell me which coaches had three separate reports come out on them across a 5 year stretch?
NCAA was after Wade because he did a bad job of hiding his under the table dealings. They were constantly trying to make an example out of him with the misguided hope that it would stop other teams from doing it.

That’s why his sorry arse got fired. Good riddance

Read the posts.
Woodward was worse for the program than you think he was. Worse than Alleva. As bad as Alleva was.

why?
You do realize the AD's main job is to make money for the AD, right? How did Alleva do a better job at that than Woodward? What did Alleva do well at any of his responsibilities actually? I'm struggling to find anything he did well

High highs and low lows.
Don’t forget Johnson and Mulkey.

Because Woodward fired Wade
Destroyed the football program
Invested millions in the women’s basketball program that loses millions
Woodward gave Brian Kelly 100 million dollars guys come on
They both sucked. Give me Alleva over Woodward yes.

It's like people forget it was Alleva that added the provision to Wade's contract that made it a layup for Woodward to fire Wade. Everyone blames Woodward for pulling the trigger, but it was Alleva that gave Woodard the gun and the ammunition to do it. Alleva hated Wade
