You couldn't have gotten Lane. His deal was for 6.


Not that I want him, but Lane would walk from Oxford to BR on his knees over broken glass, just to suck every dick on the BoS plus Woodward’s to get this job.

Woodward did his job and hired the winningness HC in college football.What he didn’t realize is that BK would whiff on hiring OCs ,DCs and assistants.And now playing players who can’t help you win against an below average defense because they are hurt.I don’t blame Woodward for the big buyout go look at the buyouts for every other big time coach.Its even more than BKs.

This will bring the Woodward arse kissers out.

My take is he is awful and should never be able to hire another football coach at LSU.

There is so much money in CFB that these contracts are not “huge”. lol To me the problem is the guarantee.

He hired BK with the mutual understanding that they would also be paying Orgeron not to coach.

That means they both knew their optimal years to pay for the best was going to be after the 2025 season when O falls off the payroll.

As much as I hate throwing money at coaches, there's no other way around it. Yes they have to pay those high salaries to lure them in. Times are going to change this with NIL I hope. Not sure how it will happen but I hope big salaries are tied to big winning seasons in a contract. Pay big because results were big. Win the SEC or more, bigger pay days. Lose out bad during a season, get less payout.

Woodward is an interior decorator
A great spender of other people's money

More McWoodward Frick Up's.........

* Fired Gangsta Pear instead of telling the NCAA to go frick themselves, then DOUBLED UP by hiring McHallman. (McMahon)

* The Grand Overseer of the destruction of TGBFTL and their "De-emphasis" during LSU football games in Tiger Stadium.

I want this Clown out of here so bad. (And I want Nick "I hate Mediocrity" Saban to be the new LSU Athletic Director)

I’m a Dan Lanning man myself but every single time I mention it I get lambasted. He will make his way to the SEC eventually and not for money. Phil Old arse Phil can pay him more than anyone but all coaches that have been in the SEC in some capacity will want to return.

I’d love to hear some defenses of Woodward that don’t include mentioning the hires of other sport coaches.


They have none.

I, for one, give him all the blame. For not only this, but the sad state of the MBB program. He neutered it.

But he's great at spending other peoples money
