Jeff Landry

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

Did jimbo not initially have a buyout?

What is the axe to grind that it was said Gov Landry had

So, in this situation who would be on the hook if the big money folks didn't come up with the buyout $$?

LSU, but Kelly also wouldn’t have been fired if the boosters didn’t belly up to the table and say “Can this dude now. We’ll pay”.

That fact continues to be missed.

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)
