Is that real? Holy crap! What a political mess and clown show. the kind of political agendas and mud slinging that a top tier HC who just wants to build a football roster and win games is going to love stepping into (NOT!!!). Good luck LSU fans if that situation somehow ends well.

A&M and LSU should go after Woodward and bankrupt his ass.

Jimbo, Kelly, and Elko all have different agents. I can't find anything about Woodward's agent or if he even has one.

Regardless, Landry is way over his skis.

It's Louisiana. He's way over his pontoons in the bayou.

If they leave it up to Landry, he'll rehire Ogeron.
I resolve in 2026 to be more tolerant and respectful of trolls and emotionally fragile, overly pessimistic posters so they don’t run crying to the mods and have me banned for three days.

It's a state that's 90% swamp with a population less than Houston.

Imagine the mayor of Houston having a grandstanding press conference to talk about how they intend to hire the next head coach at tu.

This was more embarrassing than that.

Ross extended Jimbo, not Woodward.

And good luck finding a top-tier coach now who is going to want to step into this ****show.
Bjork's agent was also Sexton.

Kelly's agent is not Sexton, but Sexton was still on all three sides of the deal that led to LSU pursuing Jimbo and his resulting contract extension, assuming Woodward's agent is Sexton. I haven't seen any reporting disputing that, just reporting saying the governor was wrong about Kelly's agent.

Sexton clients appear to have been purged from the TAMU athletic department (I haven't looked up every coach, the info isn't exactly readily available) and I wouldn't feel comfortable automatically dismissing that as a coincidence.

Sounds good. Only problem is Sexton seems smart and the LA governor sounds dumb as a rock.

This could not be going better. We absolutely devastated that whole state. They will have a government committee hire and not guarantee money. Outstanding
I mean, I know this has all been coming to a head with Kelley over the last few years, yards yada.

But damn the narrative that this firing wrecked the whole state will go down in lore.

Kelly and Woodward are both represented by Trace Armstrong.
Elko has Clint Dowdle.
Jimbo is a Sexton guy.

Bjork either doesn't have an agent or it is not public info.

This is what has me most concerned. They will come after Moffit hard. It will be difficult for us to keep him. We need to be all in.

Whenever y'all hear a Cajun talk, do you automatically assume their IQ is below 90?

I don't know about that, but what I do know is that I will listen the whole time as soon as a thick Cajun starts talking. That accent is mesmerizing. I get to play a game of "do I understand each word that was said".

First day in class teaching in Lafayette, I wondered how the hell am I supposed to understand these guys? Got better, but some of those kids from deep in the bayou ... it was tough. Queue The Waterboy.

I could handle the French patois, though. All those years suffering in HS actually paid off.

I had some great kids though, placed many in internships in Texas. And some of those had pretty strong accents. Few quite as bad as Coach O though.

I'm a little surprised to see that ADs have agents.

Corn dog is coming to terms with the fact that getting another big time name is not in the cards after having to pay BK.

My guess is they end up with the Tulane coach

The thing is, that's ACTUALLY the guy they should hire. Hes gonna win someone a lot of games when he gets hired by a bigger school.

That is actually golden. If Trump hear's he suggested Trump will make the pick Trump will call and tell him I'm making the pick.

Have the Swagcopter take him to Red Stick every evening and bring him back to Bright every morning if that's what it takes.

Wholly hell this is a train wreck. Why do I get the feeling LSU is about to go on a decade long lull?

Also, what is it with the majority of what I see from their fanbase online thinking literally anyone that was involved during their run with Saban, Miles, and Ed O, and likes to eat red beans and rice should come in and run the program?

If they came knocking with enough money they might be able to make it work. Orgeron would certainly come back but that's a very bad look for the program that will ruffle feathers. Saban is old and done, he'd need unlimited NIL and they dont have that. Les Miles is 71 and failed at KU

That the governor is not just commenting but actively talking about and taking a role in the HFC job role for lsu is absolutely pathetic. There are other teams in the state as well, but mostly he has about 1000000 other more important things to be doing and worried about that the damned HFC for lsu, a program which ultimately is just for entertainment and to give some kids a chance to go to college.

Absolutely pathetic.

Crazy to think that after all is said and done, Brian Kelly might be the guy that comes out ahead. Gonna bank $53mm and don't have to deal with this circus any longer.

So one agent representing three parties with a huge conflict of interest? That just an ordinary day in Louisiana. Why so outraged, Governor?

This mad about a college football agent scandal. Just wait until these politicians learn about what Trump's former lawyers are up to.

Never has there been a bigger caricature of a Louisiana governor than that dude. **** me, did he audition for "comically Cajun, corrupt sounding governor"?
