Every media outlet has said from the beginning that this search was all Woodward. Yes, Tate had to approve his choice, but if you want to thank somebody, thank Scott, Stephanie, and the others on their team.

Tate only stopped pushing for a POC hire when Tucker, Franklin, and Tomlin (who was never really considered) were dropped from the search.

Sounds like he really had some sway then.

Woodward: Stephanie, call TBL and VolTiger and say Riley is a done deal!


Best line of the week, IMO.

I am still in “wait and see” mode with Tate.

Woodward is awesome though.

There was a large cohort of LSU faculty, the ones who you see active in social media, etc, and some who are not, who were pissed off at Tate for mandating LSU come back to campus in the Fall and work normally.


Let me guess, one of their names rhymes with Dob Pann

Tate was crushed on here when he was announced but if you follow his track record so far he has done some good stuff for LSU. Better than F King so far.

Leaving the position unfilled would have been better than F King. There is a higher bar than that for Tate.

It's because a ton of idiots here said Tate would force a Tucker hire because he mandated a black coach. Just how it turned out!







People did suspect that he'd try and have a say because he has some racist history, but it's clear he stayed out of it. That's a lot different than saying he and Woody went out and got Kelley.

Can you believe that WOKE a-hole forced us to pay a dirty Irishman $15 million when he should be sent back to the potatoland where he came from instead? Go Woke Go Broke!
