Ultimately, you’ll have Aranda, Kelly or Fickle to choose from.

All 3 won’t make the playoffs. All 3 are more likely to win a NC @ LSU.

One chooses the bayou next week.

Most of, if not all, the people making LSU look foolish can be found within the confines of this god-forsaken message board. Woodward is doing just fine.

To be fair, the MSM is running with nonsense as well.

The problem I have is if he doesn’t have anyone right now, he agreed to pay this huge buyout for O and is going to end up with a second rate hire

And I don’t even know if she’s better than Geno. He got way too much credit for Mulkey hire

The only thing that’s embarrassing is that we have arguably the best job out there and arguably the best coaching option out there chose usc .

Now maybe we weren’t going after Riley but if nothing, why not?

He paid a 2nd rate coach a guaranteed 10 yr contract at A&M. So he’s done it before

Even Scott Rabalais is saying Woodward if screwing up this hire.

quote:

Athletic director Scott Woodward still has much work to do. For the first time, it looks as though LSU may have fallen behind in its search despite firing Orgeron six weeks ago. Especially with Florida having completed its firing-to-hiring quest in just over a week and USC reportedly pulling a shocking coup with Riley that no one from Baton Rouge to Norman, nor anywhere else, saw coming.


To use a reference from The Godfather: Woodward has walked out of the stall with his dick in his hand. He's got nothing. Don't be surprised if it's Jimbo.

quote:

LSU shoved out former athletic director Joe Alleva to bring Woodward home from Texas A&M in April 2019 because he was an LSU guy, yes. A Baton Rouge guy, certainly. But also for this moment. The moment when he would have to make the hire of hires at LSU.

To land a new football coach for the day Orgeron would falter.

No one then saw Orgeron leading LSU to that amazing 2019 season, with the national championship and Joe Burrow’s Heisman Trophy. But Orgeron’s ultimate demise seemed predictable, even desired, so that LSU could hire someone better. Someone like Jimbo Fisher, whom Woodward lured to Texas A&M from Florida State. Fisher, a national championship-winning coach who finally slayed the Alabama/Nick Saban dragon but who still went 8-4 (4-4 in the Southeastern Conference) after Saturday’s dramatic 27-24 loss to LSU.

Perhaps it will be someone else. Woodward lands the big fish like Fisher. Kim Mulkey. Chris Petersen. That’s his reputation. But now that reputation is on the line. The coaching carousel has slowed to a crawl, the big names and the popular names are almost all gone, and Woodward is still searching.

Without a doubt, Woodward can still take a batting tip from his baseball hire, Jay Johnson, and knock this one out of the park. The first choice, the obvious choice, isn’t always the best choice. Alabama got turned down by Rich Rodriguez in 2006, leading then-athletic director Mal Moore to make one more run at Nick Saban. Years later, Rodriguez, now offensive coordinator at UL-Monroe, visited the Alabama campus and asked where his statue was.

True enough. And it's pretty amusing, honestly.

The media scoffed at the idea of Riley going to LSU, and belittled our precious message board fodder, but as soon as it became clear it wasn't happening, the narrative shifted to "what is LSU even doing at this point?!"
