re: Official: LSU and Woodward parting ways
Posted by TwonTwon on 11/1/25 at 5:13 pm to Adam Banks
Wasn’t Jimbo’s contract extended after Scott came to LSU. So therefore the buyout happened after he was no longer employed at A&M. They didn’t have to extend that contract. And O’s contract extension was a reward for what happened in 2019. If you want to question that based on what transpired afterwards, We have a debate.. It was still his job to go out and get the best available coach if the decision was made to move on from Orgeron. In his shoes, who are you getting? And how much are you paying? … giving the landscape you’re competing in at that time.

I just question whether a precedent is being set here. Every time you hire a Big name football coach to a long term contract, Are you going to fire the AD along with the coach if things don’t work out as planned. Easy to say “Well He brought Him here”. But really fan base and the school and the state, for that matter, wouldn’t any less. Saban wasn’t coming, who else was expected to come that had any amount of success that Saban had. I think the AD went after one of the more successful coaches in College Football and it didn’t work out at LSU. You can’t blame him for that. Now you can talk contracts in hindsight all you want to. But what is the alternative for that particular situation, stay with Orgeron? And watch things happen all around you? Then it would be said “ Where’s the AD? Why’d he not do His job?” IJS-

It’s an overreaction though! Look at Kelly’s resume’ compared to some of the other WILLING candidates that were being considered at that time. Big contracts were being used to secure coaches like Kelly and LSU weren’t the only ones doing it. That can’t be denied. Just didn’t work with Kelly! Two things that could’ve been done, Light a fire under Kelly and give him one more year or you Fire Kelly and cut your Losses. You can’t possibly act like Scott wasn’t doing his job! Not when you can see some semblance of success in the department as a whole. Granted football is King but you can’t give yourself a Blackeye as program while standing up to the bully pulpit that is major college football and then cut your own nose off to spite your face. That’s what it’s looking like now
Which further explains the politics in Big time college athletics. Sometimes it’s best to let professional people do their jobs before overreacting; Especially publicly. Woodward’s job was to be caretaker of the athletic department and hire the best coaches and staffs possible. We saw a lot of success in that department. The football head coach may not have been the type of success desired but that doesn’t mean Scott didn’t know how to do his job.We can’t act like Big contracts weren’t a happening thing. Especially when it comes to coaches who have the type of resume’ Kelly has.
She has enough skills to play in the system. Her role has to be defined. Can’t teach height. A few games she was a spark early on. On offense, you gotta figure out how to use her in the sets. She’s not gonna be Morrow and go get stuff off the rim and give you points off O boards. She has to be moving to be effective. She’s not a consistent banger down low. She needs to be used like Carolina uses Kitts.
Run a four guard set if Sa Mya has truly turned the corner and MaKayla play that stretch 4. Or start her with Big 4 and MaKayla on the wings and SaMyia and Jersey on the blocks.

I think giving an opportunity to a person who has been extremely successful at a position that is currently lacking in the program seems little less risky to me. Especially in the current climate of college football. All the coaches interviewed were already on contract somewhere and some with buyouts. I know the sentiment is to spend no matter what for the “experienced” coach. I think LSU does itself well to go ahead and put on for a coach that’s come up in its culture and went on and been successful at the highest level. And now wants to come back and give back of his success at the place that helped make him. I think that would speak volumes to every recruit in the Louisiana borders.
Guys, He’s going to be a Good position coach. At a position He had a lot of experience and success in. He’s not going to be DC. Yet. If he brings the same work ethic as he did when he was a Pro, then that’s more than half the battle right there.

Then where should they turn then. Any way you slice it is going to be a New Hand on staff anyway. Might as well jump on someone who has had a great deal of success doing what that room needs to get done. Can’t afford to get caught up in the old way of thinking and be left behind. There are a number of Schools going through similar transitions. Some are struggling because they are having trouble getting used to having young coaches taking over for Older coaches who’ve been there forever and now they’re gone and change has come. College football is not the same my friend.

It’s not desperate. At what point should LSU start considering pumping fresh blood into the program? They recycled a coach that was considered to be the best in the business into that role but he didn’t want to stay. Think about it, even Bo Davis was new blood at some point in his coaching career. A lot of these long time college coaches are starting to get phased out. LSU does well to be proactive.
