shite like that worries me about LSU someday though. However, should something go down LSU is big enough to not have to turn around and hire their DC. And it's possibly they would want to anyway.

told yall that from the start. Whole thing is Lee Mallett wanted fricking Will Wade and Lane Kiffin and Woodward wanted no part of either.

Lee did everything he could to get Jeff Landry elected and then used favors to get his fricking way.

if McMahon doesnt win...he will be gone too. Hell Lee offered to pay the buyout after last year.

the night they announced miles was coming back about killed me. just weak leadership.



LSU had no leadership. Alleva hired Trent Johnson, Johnny Jones. and Ed Orgeron. Granted Ed got a NC but just not a strong trio of coaches.

He got supremely lucky. Jay wasn’t his first choice. He tried to make at least 2 Woodward type hires before that


yep..Jay was essentially forced on him. now mulky was all him

but he got lucky on Jay and wasnt even his top 2 choices.

Woodwards top target was O’Sullivan. Stephanie Rempe doesn’t get enough credit for Jay.

O'Sullivan and the Oregon State coach for sure. Board said no to both and wouldnt buy on.

I think it was Stephanie Rempe that helped get the Jay thing going.


But in the end Lee Mother fricking Mallet got his way. and will prolly get his way on getting Will Wade back to LSU. Bottom line is Woody Crossed him 1 too many times and Lee did what he had to do, got in tight with the lead horse in the gov race and did everything he could to help him win. when woody's hire of BK wasnt working and woody went a little off the reservation....Lee saw and opening and pulled the strings.

Most new coaches have singled her out, and during that period when LSU was between ADs, I thought it possible she could be in the mix, even though she had just left for Rutgers.

He still could have handled it better publicly… but you have to give the Governor props for canning Woody and hiring Verge. This doesn’t happen otherwise. Inarguable.

He's a typical libtard. When you put those "people" in charge of ANYTHING important, it inevitably turns to excrement.

A very well researched and well crafted article, presented a lot of information, minimally slanted with prejudice.

Thanks for posting.

Underrated guys like Verge are motivated.


Much of this board underrated him.

“Not qualified to run a Wendy’s much less the LSU athletic department” is a comment I’m sure I read.

Woodward really was an atrocious AD.


The guy hired multiple national championship winning coaches and left the athletic department better than before he got there. I don't think atrocious is the right word here.

No, stupid rumor that makes no sense


Maybe "force" is not the right word, but I think O is on record saying he didn't even interview Pelini. So how did Pelini become DC in '20?

And that ridiculous buyout that Pelini had - isn't that all Woody's doing?
