wWoodward screwed A&M with Jimbo Fisher and did the same to LSU with Brian Kelly.



Woodward gave Jimbo the initial contract at A&M.

The A&M Board of Regents screwed A&M by giving Jimbo an extension, raise, and largest buyout in college football history at the time.

I told everyone I now that it was a huge mistake signing a coach to a 10 year contract, especially at his age.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Stop throwing good money after bad! Embrace the suck for a few years.

So we now have zero trust in Blake Baker a week after wanting to make him the head coach?

Most of the rebuilding will be on defensive side of ball and if Baker is so great, it shouldn't be too bad, and we should see better development from the young guys on the roster.

Offense loses Nuss and WRs, though both Andersons could theoretically be back.

Some of us have mentioned that since pre season! It was all in this year and this year will most likely end like last year 8-4 and BK stealing $10M!

He’s not going to get the money to rebuild this sinking ship. Much like Woodward is not going to get the money to hire another football coach.

[img]We have people seriously talking about spending $150-200 MILLION spread out over a decade to fire the coach![/img]

This number seems to grow with each new thread.

we just need a you hungry guy, I have zero confidence in Woodward though


This is the part lots of people are forgetting. If Kelly is canned now, Woodward would hire James Franklin. Another has been/never was old guard just good enough head coach who will never win anything meaningful.

Where the hell do you get 150-200 million from? If he is fired after this season, he is owed around 50 million, not 150-200.

The state of Louisiana does not pay a dime of Kelly's contract.

Learn some facts about the situation before crying like a bitch about a "kid's game."

8-4 was the expectation this year with a brand new O-line, unproven running game and lack of a game changing receiver.
Yeah and to get to 8-4 we had to drop a $20M bag on defensive transfers

You’re assuming the young guys stick around. What will it cost to keep someone like Pickett here … you know he’ll have offers.

We need to lose 6 now to get rid of him. Worst thing to happen is we rally and pull off a bama win or something and go 9-3 or 8-4. Then BK aint going anywhere.

Year 4. We know what we have with BK teams. He will never win a championship here.

What if Pickett already signed long term deal when we got him to commit to LSU?

We don't know anything.

The $150 million people are saying is to fire Kelly and staff and then hire a new coach and his staff.

This is what will happen. Kelly’s teams turn it on after the season is over and there’s nothing to play for.

There will be no more 10 year contracts after this colossal frick up by Fat Scott, who also needs to be let go.

Won't matter unless we get a tranafer portal o line coach and a complete transfer portal offensive line. No one can thrive with this offensive line play.
