O or Woodward

It's suck fricking dumb that leaks are coming out on whose fault it was for hiring his dumbass to 2mil/year

Does anyone have any evidence on if O was "forced" into hiring Woodwards buddy (or vice versa)?

This can tell us a lot about the upcoming coordinator searches

Both men are responsible. They share equal blame

I don’t buy the Woodward stuff. I think he may have put his 2 cents in like everyone else, but I can’t believe he would force pelini on O.

did to me. i mean i loved his defenses when he was at LSU before. coming off the high of 2019, Coach O wanted him. hadn't played MS state, yet. Yeah, big name coach for a DC, fiery, attacking. I don't know enough to say how personnel meshed, but it did look like a good hire at the time. to me.

All I know is Woody had nothing to do with social justice missteps, Baille, erosion in clock management skills, going for XP when up 4 late in game, not installing QB under center until game 4, hiring Linehan, saying this years defense is light years better than 2019, starting Clark and TJ vs Baskerville and Finley.

Passing blame to Woody is diversion and spin from the Ponamsky crowd.

Incorrect. Woodard had significant say on the hiring and 100% culpability for that exorbitant salary and buyout.

There is no way in hell O was forced to hire anyone after the year he had in 2019.

O could have told woody to frick off after last year and woody would have to take it.

Anyone who thinks otherwise has bought into O’s propaganda machine.

I thought We would have a rough transition because the DL just wasn’t there yet.

I did Not expect the secondary would just fall apart

No. It was O’s call. Woody did negotiate the deal but the hire is O’s.
