Can confirm that Graves helped with the buyout, but he’s not the main money supply.


I didnt get to ask how much he contributed to the buyout but told there is another donor who has very deep pockets and hes on the West Coast. I dont want to say too much as he wants to remain anonymous.

This is very doubtful. I only know that the offer will be or has been extended

I’m laughing, but would react the exact same way. Just watching the melt from the Gumps would let me die a happy man.

Bill Goldring is the check writer and Jim Harbaugh’s father in law. The LSU coach puzzle wasn’t too hard to put together now was it.

You might not know this, but some kids don’t want to go to college in the town they went to high school in. Cultural enrichment and shite.

Graves loved BR and LSU enough to gamble on himself and gamble on a business right next door to LSU’s campus. I bartended right next door to the Cane’s 1 location for years and kinda wishing I had walked next door and learned how to whip up some tenders and sauce.

TLDR: Graves is definitely a Tiger.

I'm fine with him being fired. My concern is a puppet being installed in his place. If you think it is bad to hand out large contracts that we season ticket holders don't have to pay off, wait until we have some guy going on the cheap like Joe Dean used to do.

I'm hoping OP is right, but my credible sources are expecting the next football hire to be some low to mid level guy making about $4-5M year b/c that is what Landry is pushing for. Hopefully someone can convince him to shut his damn mouth and back off.

He might have been the check writer, although he’s a Tulane grad with no apparent connection to LSU.

He is NOT related to Jim Harbaugh, unless you know something the Internet doesn’t.

Graves went to Episocal and those kids very frequently leave the state for college. Just like Holden Spaht. Graves is an LSU guy and gives a lot. He isn't as as outward in his giving as people want b/c he has businesses in just about every college town we compete in.

I don’t understand why people are so upset about Woody being fired. The people that spend all of the money on these buyouts and NIL budgets wanted him gone. They wanted to fire MM. So they could hire Will Wade and Woody told them no. Then they wanted to fire BK and Woody told them no again. So they went to the one person that could get it done in Landry. You keep standing in the way and eventually you are going to be removed. It’s too bad but that was always going to be how that went.



I am far less upset over Woodward getting fired as I am with the absurdly embarrassing manner in which all of this has been done, but most especially from Governor Landry on down.

I’m just not sure the average LSU fan truly comprehends just how much we have shown our behinds to the rest of the country. What we like to refer to as a stereotypical mischaracterization of Louisiana has just been shown to have truth to it. Make no mistake about it, we look like the antithesis of professionals. We are being laughed at by the entire country, and especially those in the SEC who are lapping this up.

THIS. Someone needs to keep the GOV off talk radio and other sports shows. Give him some blocks to play with and let the adults move forward with hiring a new AD & HC. The more this guy talks, the more challenging it will become for LSU to hire the right people to lead this program. Talk about undue, unwanted AND unneeded influence.

The only people “embarrassed” seem to be Landry haters to begin with. Please shut up.
