re: New coach - timing

Personally, I prefer to get the right HC than worry about a series of players.



I posted earlier, rushing to hire a head coach because you are worried the portal will close (or you'll miss signing day), is like rushing to a car because you are worried the gas station will be closed.

I sure hope you aren't a lawyer. Look at the very first line of the press release. Read it slowly.

He read the winds accurately and chose to leave, I believe. Not that Landry wouldn't have forced the issue at some point.

Who cares about the transfer portal... If you can get the best coach now in college football. It would be well worth the wait.



Making a coaching decision based on the transfer portal closing time is like making a car-buying decision based on the gas station closing time.

Woodward was out of his lane of authority,


According to a press release by the university, Woodward was working in consultation with the BOS and interim president at the time.

quote:

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU Athletics has made the decision to separate with football head coach Brian Kelly effective immediately, Director of Athletics Scott Woodward announced Sunday.

Terms of the separation are still being negotiated.

“When Coach Kelly arrived at LSU four years ago, we had high hopes that he would lead us to multiple SEC and national championships during his time in Baton Rouge,” Woodward said. “Ultimately, the success at the level that LSU demands simply did not materialize, and I made the decision to make a change after last night’s game. I am grateful for the ongoing consultations and support of the LSU Board of Supervisors and Interim President Matt Lee in this decision. We wish Coach Kelly and his family the very best in their future endeavors. We will continue to negotiate his separation and will work toward a path that is better for both parties.”

the decision has been made pending formal board approval



The press release seems to be a problem for this narrative.

quote:

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU Athletics has made the decision to separate with football head coach Brian Kelly effective immediately, Director of Athletics Scott Woodward announced Sunday.

Terms of the separation are still being negotiated.

“When Coach Kelly arrived at LSU four years ago, we had high hopes that he would lead us to multiple SEC and national championships during his time in Baton Rouge,” Woodward said. “Ultimately, the success at the level that LSU demands simply did not materialize, and I made the decision to make a change after last night’s game.

I thought the consensus was that LSU had no interest in Kiffin last cycle.

Far better than Texas or Texas A&M?

Neither of the above is proven to be anything.

it will be Lane.



But that is still a reasonable possibility. I hesitate to say Likely about any coaching search, particularly when it involves LSU.
quote:

but Kelly is now acting like they never spoke about that.



He's not; it is even spelled out in his suit that LSU offered him 25 million then 30 million. Both of which he turned down.

Kelly is simply asking that LSU clarify that his termination was not for cause and that if LSU has claimed it was, they have missed the window to do.

I am fairly certain these are just negotiation tactics, by and large, but by dragging their feet, LSU comes out looking bad in these, not Kelly.
Leave Chicken out of this :lol:

He is not, we could give him a 2-year deal to get him past that, though :lol:

I want to call BS, particularly on the 29-35 number (I was thinking it would end up 36-40), but darn if you haven't been either spot on or very close to spot on every time. :cheers:

There are 2 names I can definitively tell you will not be LSUs next head coach and that is Jon Sumrall and Eli Drinkwitz. I have it on good word LSU is not extending an offer to either.



I saw some rumors about Heupel that intrigued me, though I would not expect him to leave Tennessee. He would not hurt my feelings.

So you have no idea what's going on with the current filing. Got it.

Nuss coming back vs NFL definitely impacted armstrong’s PnL.



It probably cost Nuss some draft status (hence money) as well.

When Ryan Leaf announced he was entering the draft the QB who was uninvited to the combine was Matt Hasselbeck. Crazy considering how their careers played out.



Yep. The occasional sure things that flame out and the also-rans who sometimes become superstars remind us how imprecise the whole talent evaluation world can be. Though I think they often get things right.

If you could prove that Kelly or Woodward was getting a kickback for protecting or playing the people they had charge over, probably. But you would need hard evidence. And, no, playing a QB that some think should have been benched is not evidence.
