Though known now for months, if not years, to many people in Baton Rouge, the governor, for an assortment of reasons that we’ll soon get to, holds a personal vendetta against LSU’s athletic director.


So why does he hate Woodward?

I'd love to know what really happened. This shite is so dumb. Dellenger is a really good journalist and writer.

He had me laughing with the snl skirt of the guvnah with his bayou twang. Its unbelievable how dumb the governor makes us look.

I read the article. Over not hiring wade back and a few other things. The governor went to what is now ull.

Well...we couldn't afford to buy BK out. How can we afford another insane contract unless it changes or another donor steps up?


These things are done with the understanding they'll be handled by private funds. Woodward is amazing at fundraising with private donors. And he's a big game hunter that will go get another top coaching candidate if he's allowed to.

I’m embarrassed as I can be,” said one prominent school figure. “This is some embarrassing bulls***.”

Why won’t this prominent school figure step up and say it publicly then? Grow some fricking balls. Why is everyone afraid of a coonass midget?


Because, regardless of how stupid and selfish he is, he still has power as the Governor and could frick their lives up. It's self-preservation to remain anonymous. Person probably has kids and a mortgage.

The fallout? People were talking about how great of a job opening LSU was before the governor opened his mouth. There is no fallout from the greater college football community. Kelly didn't win and lost the team, we got rid of him. That's just the sport.

Now people are saying we're a huge shitshow because the dumb fricking governor injected himself into it publicly.

If that person is a classified employee of LSU, then Landry can’t do anything.

Allegedly it was because Landry wanted Will Wade back and Woodward told him to go pound sand.

I saw this in the article....did we already know this or is it new info? Because I think this is the first I have heard of it.

That's why I asked who stepped up. That will tell you how the search is going to go.

My assumption is that Landry would not have interjected himself without knowing this and who the next LSU president is going to be.

He flushed the covey.

but any long-term agreement to pay the full $53 million has not been reached despite negotiations between Kelly’s representatives and LSU’s counsel.


This board assured me that $27 million was a done deal because LSU “claimed morals clauses”.

Once you realize he's a complete moron and does things without thinking, at all, it becomes easier to see that he has no plan besides trying to get himself air time.

I've been critical of him, but he wouldn't go on ESPN without holding the cards. Just my opinion.

I like and respect Ross Dellenger but let’s be honest these quotes with no sources and supposed “texts” sound like fairy tales

He still thinks Woodward is responsible for Jimbo’s buyout


Woodward hired Jimbo to a 10 year $75 million contract. Jimbo was bought out before that contract expired.

Woodward extended Coach O's contract and had to buy him out two years later.

Woodward hired Brian Kelly to a 10 year contract and 3.5 years later has to buy him out for $53 million.

Woodward was heavily involved in 3 of the top 8 highest buyouts of all time in college football.


But at least Woodward rid LSU basketball of that black eye Will Wade and got men's basketball back on solid ground.
