Hmmm--don't state contracts over a certain amount (including head football coaches) need approval from the board overseeing the institution? Woodward was not the only person who approved this contract. He is the scapegoat--this is all political.
But he is only one involved in similar situation twice
He didn’t give Jimbo the extension that got him the $70m buyout
Hmmmm, maybe didnt give, but seems still involved....
P.s. what was the initial buyout?
This was later extended to a new 10-year, $95 million deal in 2021, which was partially driven by the threat of him leaving for LSU (under scott woodward)
