Yes, we went from trying to be good guys to looking like arse holes. Hurricane deboccle was one of the worst.

Even though we shouldn’t have needed it, Cajun Navy was only thing that helped save face a bit.

This is the type of thing that Woodward will change immediately. E is a great guy, LSU to the core, but was clearly hired because Alleva wasn’t going to pay for another big-name OC after the Canada debacle. I believe Woody would’ve told O to get the best available, or fired him too. He wouldn’t have left



This right here. I don't think people understand the real story. This is not the first time Alleva has worked against his coach. He tied one hand behind Les's back too so he has a history of it. I think that he's got a twisted idea of what an AD's job scope is.

Thinking the flip side I sure do like whatever he did to get K Fulton on the playing field.




I hate to say anything nice about that piece of shite but that was clever and a total boss move. Something you expect to see out of an excellent AD like Scott Woodward.

Which makes me think Joe had nothing to do with it.

The hiring of Will Wade is the obvious answer.

Yeah hiring the coach the gave LSU it’s best basketball season in years was a terrible decision. This is just a stupid comment.

Not firing les miles spoiled what should have been a championship run in 2016. Not only that you for sure come out with a better coach than Orgeron going into that season.

Anything else is peanuts compared to that

Probably the Les Miles UnFiring. That was a fricking embarrassment.

One of the biggest problems Woodward will have to correct is all the loose fricking lips that have surrounded that department and leak out information that ultimately blows up in LSU's face.

That was some Les Miles boosters that leaked and tried to torpedo the whole thing.

Pretty sure he wanted Miles gone in 2015 like everyone else.

F King is who killed that movement.

Easy to answer. His bewildering hire of
his own DL coach as head football coach. A position he was totally unqualified to hold.

How he handled Les Miles during the last few weeks of the 2015 season.

It was time for a change but Coach didn't deserve to be treated the way he was.

The botched firing of Miles following that horrendous 3-game stretch in 2015 and the botched hiring of Jimbo at the same time had to be the worst. He should have turned in his resignation then.

Trent Johnson was a hot basketball coach at the time. Unfortunately he didn't want to recruit and LSU basketball suffered after his first successful season.

I don't blame him for hiring Trent and thought it was a solid choice at the time.

For me it’s the way he destroyed the football tailgating experience. There’s too many other ways to raise money without sacrificing fan experience...especially one that set us apart from everyone else.
