The LSU AD, Scott Woodward, had the same job at Texas A&M and hired Jimbo Fisher. His poor hiring decisions cost their schools at least a combined $120 MM.

Told y’all last week this was gonna happen. I KNOW these people around Baton Rouge and South Louisiana. They only EXIST for LSU football.

I have kinfolks down there that I’ve been around all my life. Let them get a half-dozen or more bottles of beer in them, they begin to show flecks of foam around the mouth.

And they all know how to coach football.

And I agree, it’s Scott Woodward’s fault. He needs to go, and whoever hired him.

“But even during the loss to Texas A&M the night before, conversations between LSU officials, members of the LSU board of supervisors, prominent donors and political figures took place about Kelly’s future with the program.

They continued into Sunday, culminating with a meeting at the Governor’s mansion. Landry, who appoints the LSU board of supervisors, was heavily involved in the talks about Kelly, sources said, without a new full-time school president in place.”

Good news. Just found out.

The man is vastly overrated. Just listen to him talking about a his team and how to play — all cliches. Things you would say to try to motivate a junior high team.

Meanwhile, Jim Mora is still at UConn...

Kellys’ a yankee....his fate was sealed before he ever set foot on campus.......hell, I was surprised they even hired him at all for that reason alone.

And if your not a Southerner, you may not understand all that.

Yes and those Aggies are paying Jimbo Fisher $27,000 a day for 8 years.

That's insane.

How long will former New England Coach Bill Belichick last at UNC Chapel Hill?

He is 2-5 as I write this.

Both Belichick wins were against weak conference teams.

Last week, Belichick almost beat #15 Virginia (7-1).

Virginia, however, has beat (and lost to) eight currently un-ranked teams.

Belichick needs to have a transformational season in 2026, or he will be unemployed in 2027.

Mid-season head coach openings now at Penn State, Florida and LSU that I know of. Where can these big football schools find their next national championship coaches?

[chiller]

LSU’s favorite cajun—Ed Orgeron—(1 of 2 to win nattys) wants to coach again. AD Woodward fired him not long after the nat title...will there be calls to bring him back ? And might Woodward be overruled or fired ?

Might depend upon which supervisors wife Ed was diddling, iirc.

I just never understood this ND LSU connection…..ND use to be on LSU’s schedule? Because LA is predominant Catholic?

LSU mascot in reality is a tough fighting man for the Confederacy. The masquerade is a tiger to keep the PC folks off their backs...

Separation of school and sports.
