Yes. I know this for a fact, and Dellenger basically confirmed it.

Kelly made the decision. The governor then called a meeting at the governor’s mansion to discuss the buyout because he has no idea how this works and Woodward had already gotten the money together.

You do realize that Scott Woodward may as well have written the article? Dellenger is Woodward’s mouth piece. Of course he is going to say that.

So Dellenger and Woodward are tight. That's the news I got from that story.

If you know how journalism works, you'll see that the article was almost completely sourced by pro-Woodward people and the color of the language was tilted to Woodward. Woodward is "open and progressive". Landry is "strident".

Anyhoo. The bottom line is Woodward bought all the ingredients for a shite gumbo with this asinine contract and now the pot has boiled over. Landry is a low-IQ pol who is trying to settle scores and make hay.

quote:

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



Jimbo was wanted by everyone. National title winning coach. Most of our fans wanted him too. The A&M endless money said go get him and he did. And if he was bought out of that contract (when Woodward was already at LSU) and not after an extension by the new AD, it would've been far less.

That hire, at the time, was considered enormous.

quote:

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



Fielded best team ever assembled and won a title. And he still didn't get some insane contract. COVID and BLM happened and Orgeron fell off the wagon and wheels came off. Still, relatively, not a big deal and also private donor money.

quote:

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



Market contract for a major hire that everyone nationally thought was awesome. Winningest coach outside of Saban, stolen from Notre Dame. Won at every level he ever coached.

quote:

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



He hires big time coaches. And not a single dollar from you was used for any of it. The rich boosters love Woodward and he will continue to raise money like an absolute beast. This money is irrelevant to the normal fan.

I’m pretty sure if Woody had his choice Kelly would still be the coach.

This is Woodward PR. It's time for Landry to go nuclear and literally fight Woodward in Tiger Stadium.


Yes and the ticket sales will more than cover Woodward’s buyout!

I don’t know why you got 2 downvotes. You summed things up perfectly.

I like Dellenger fine. This is the first article of his that I’ve read that didn’t seem like straight journalism. Maybe there were others, but I haven’t read them.

Double negative. You just said he’ll make sure we get a bad contract.

Interesting and in line with a lot of what I thought

Key points

-This job is being questioned by agents
-Contracts generally include a buyout and the state is on the hook for that- Landry doesnt know what he’s talking about
- Woodward didn’t hire Kelly without input.
- Landry thinks Woodward is an idiot but Landry admitted that he himself was not going to select the coach. lol! Why not Landry
-Landry was elected by a corrupt La Republican Party
- landry and Woodward have a beef that goes beyond this issue

What an anonymous load of horseshite

Theres half a season of football left, and many coaches will crash and burn. Like Sumrall is doing tonight. Several coaches will run to the LSU job, without even being asked
