But MAGA

What rational person wouldn’t see it this way?

Governor is sabotaging LSU football and you almost wonder if it’s intentional, being a ULL grad

JEFF LANDRY HAS IT UNDER CONTROL FOLKS

Not much difference between him, Kiffin, Lincoln Riley and those types

They’ve all had success and know how to teach advanced offense and QB play. None bring much physicality or great defense to the table

It’s because they weren’t even in position to get serious until late last week, and I’m sure damage control has been their first step

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if there’s nothing serious going on

So…who’s at fault?

Injuries?

BK culture?

Brad Davis lack of teaching and development?

Sloan lack of process/recognition in practice?

Bad talent evals / recruiting?

I mean, we’ve racked and stacked 4- & 5-star kids along the OL since BK arrived.

Callaway, Davis, Curne, Adams, Echols, Chester etc

Yet, we struggled to block LaTech

Time for a reset all around there.

Apparently Woodward liked to meddle in the staff hires which he was unqualified to do.

Yes and no.

I doubt he single handedly involved himself without consultating with several people like Verge, Austin etc.

Need to keep in mind that when things aren’t going well with his coaches after they’ve made their own hires, it causes all kinds of issues:

Fund raising gets harder, recruiting quality replacements gets harder, preserving the investments made in HCs, etc

Take Brad Davis for example. How many assistants and coordinators did Orgeron go through after he got his extension in 2020? At some point, you need to get involved to help your struggling coach who can’t help himself. Davis wasn’t coming to LSU when he did unless he could be given some assurances, which he likely why he was the one holdover for Kelly. Had Orgeron made the OL hire it would’ve been another unqualified coach like most he hired.

BK wanted to be “aligned” and clean house when he got there. He replaced some good LSU men with a lot of crap especially on the defensive side.

Not gonna fire Kelly but at some point you have to help him whether he likes it or not when things haven’t worked. BK burned up a lot of buyout money and good faith with the base after that 2023 defensive performance that ruined a national championship level offense.

AD at LSU is basically the head of Football. When you have $100M invested in a HC and you’re cleaning up his messes made from the immediate staff decisions, and trying to keep the base and boosters engaged by putting your best foot forward to stay relevant in NIL, recruiting, contending for playoff runs etc — it clearly got to a point that it required a team effort and intervention during both the Orgeron and BK regimes.

I’m sure Woodward wishes that he DIDN’T have to get involved like he did.

Based on Kelly’s email, I think it’s reasonable to believe they were working towards a settlement. But so much changed after

I think you can thank the idiot Governor for running his mouth and insinuating collusion w/ his agent and Woodward, then firing Woodward who I’m sure BK thought he’d be working with on the settlement

Davis left and went to Arkansas and LSU hired him back.

?

I think it’ll be a greater commitment, just not a decade

Something like 5-6yrs, $55-65M with bonus incentives

Puts the job at around $11M per, with around half the commitment you had in Kelly
