re: Just how much of a disaster was hiring Woodward

Thank you for proving your own point. That’s called a self burn.

He wasn't great, but he's better than his predecessor by a wide margin.....

Because Woodward fired Wade
Alleva is the one who revised Wade's contract and suspended him during the season, backing him into that contract revision. Alleva was looking for a reason to fire Wade. He just wasn't given the chance to stick around long enough to do it

He did?

Invested millions in the women’s basketball program that loses millions
SO you are now mad at Woodward for hiring a coach who produced a national title. This is a weird flex to give Alleva points, but ok
quote:
Woodward gave Brian Kelly 100 million dollars guys come on
My man, the way Alleva handled the end of the 2015 season, firing Miles midseason in 2016, and literally crawling into a corner when his top target had another interest was so fricking sad. At least Woodward had the balls to tell a blue blood program to frick off and stole their coach. Alleva would have also given Oregon a raise and then would have also been scared to fire him

They both sucked. Give me Alleva over Woodward yes.
you're insane and a victim of recency bias if you really feel this way

Do you really think the dumb motherfricker you’re shilling for wouldn’t have fired Wade if he hadn’t been demoted and shown the door? If so, then you are a fricking idiot. If not, then you’re just trying to fluff a weak argument.

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. Woodward hatred Wade
And if Alleva was still the AD at that time, WE ALL KNOW he also would have fired Wade. That weak piece of shite wouldn’t have stood up for him

1000000%
It's like people forget how he handled the Wade situation is the straw that led his own firing

I’m not shilling for anybody
But I guess I’m dying on the wrong hill. Maybe there is some recency bias, and also “dying on hill” syndrome. But I really do feel like Woodward left things in worse condition and I guess I’ll die on that hill.

The facts laid out by multiple posters don’t agree with your feelings.

Joe Alleva didn't hire Les Miles. he then continued to give Les Miles raises to keep him from going places like...Arkansas, He then pussied out firing him at the end of 2015. Then, he fired him mid 2016, only to give up on the coaching search and promote Ed Orgeron. It wasn't some innate feel that led to his ultimate hire actually winning in 2019. It was blind fricking luck after getting completely cucked in the offseason coaching carousel. think about it this way, Ed Oregon is Alleva's entire legacy at LSU as far as coaches that actually worked out even if it was only for 2 years

I also laid out some facts.
Some that can’t be disagreed with. Wade. 100 million. Extreme losses in women’s basketball. There’s facts on both sides. As much as you don’t want to see it.

if you want to go the money argument, Woodward made money for the AD than Alleva did

O gave us the GOAT season but he sucked arse outside of that. He got the 19 team together but outside of that he didn't do much in the way of recruiting.

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.
Johnson was his third option. He was told no by two others before he gave Jay the job. Mulkey was going to come to LSU if you or I were AD

pretty much every AD would've handled it the same way Woodward did.
Kansas surely didn't and they won a national championship a few months later

Kansas isn't LSU and their coach was already a top 5 coach with a national title to his name

According to what? Because more than Johnson was interviewed? But you, I guess, want to give Alleva credit for Orgeron? Was that his first choice?

Mulkey wanted to come home so all Woodward could do was try and stop it or accept her.
He offered 4 guys before Jay johnson it took baseball insiders to help us get Jay.

Dude you guys are really making Woodward out to be WAY better than he was. He was terrible. Maybe not worse than Alleva but Jesus guys.
