Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry Blocks LSU AD Scott Woodward From Coaching Search: Fair Or Foul?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Governor Jeff Landry’s bold comments about LSU’s coaching search. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry made headlines when he declared that LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward would not be involved in selecting the university’s next head football coach, even adding, “Hell, I’ll let Donald Trump select it before I let him do it.” He criticized Woodward’s history of handing out massive, guaranteed coaching contracts that later became financial burdens for LSU and other programs, citing the expensive buyouts for former coaches like Brian Kelly as examples of what he called “rewarding failure.” Landry said that, instead of Woodward leading the search, a committee formed by LSU’s Board of Supervisors, many of whom he appoints, would oversee the hiring process. What do Reese, Kmac and Pam think about this?
