Woodward had Absolutely ZERO to do with hiring Jay. That was Skip and Pawls hire.
Even if Jay was their pick, Woodward still gets credit for delegating the decision to the right people. Woodward’s arse was on the line with the decision to hire Jay - not PM or Skip’s.

Woodward is responsible for the two worst contracts in college football history. Jimbo at A&M and now Kelly at LSU.

Woody’s replacement at A&M gave Jimbo a raise and extension after Woodward left.

Because Woodward had already thrown down a 10 year $90+M offer to Jimbo.

He still gave Jimbo the initial 10 year contract of $75 million.

First of all ZERO schools win the NCAA Division 1 Football National Championship year after year anymore. If talking about National Championships, 99% of schools don’t win Football Championships every season or every 5 seasons, so in this day and age, to call our program bad, horrible, a dumpster fire, etc is ridiculous. We recruit really well and pay our NIL Athletes in the top echelon, and can afford to pay our HC and assistants top money, so stop whining. The 2019 team was the best in NCAA history. That’s a really high bar and not reachable year after year. We have a piece of our program that isn’t functioning like it should. It needs to be removed and then we’ll hit the ground running. NIL makes this possible from one year to the next. Go get some fresh air.

It’s funny he fired Wade to save the football program from getting hammered. Then he hired Kelly who destroyed the football program anyways

Original and insightful ideas. Thank you for bringing this to The Rant. The first 649 times it was brought up, it didn’t stick.

Mulkey wanted out of Baylor and called LSU. Mulkey was the instigator. Woody just took advantage.
Exactly. Mulkey wanted out of Baylor and wanted to finish her career in her home state where she also played basketball. LSU was the only school in Louisiana that could remotely pay that kind of money for a WBB coach. It was a gift to Woodward.
