I Told Ya'll...Listen To Him Carefully...

I didn't think this was real yesterday. You couldn't give me that job right now. Everyone is paying big money. What top coach is walking into that disaster. Who's your boss, the idiot Governor? How bad can you hurt a program? Mario, go get DT Richard Anderson, Ebna Carr. please!

Per the Orlando Sentinel, Jimmy Sexton used to rep 11 outta 14 SEC schools’ head coaches and Wikipedia has him at 14 outta 16 of the SEC’s head coaches; including Jimbo Fisher.

Garnacho is correct — Kelly’s agent is not Jimmy Sexton; however, the governor is right in that it’s Trace Armstrong who reps both Kelly and reps LSU’s quarterback (and I’d assume he reps the quarterback’s dad who is the Saints OC although i couldn’t confirm that).

Woodward is also getting some undue blame from his time at A&M; although he landed the big fish in Jimbo, gigantic buyout included; it was his successor, Ross Bjork who gave him a raise.


LSU having, of course, the AD who hired Fisher as well as knowing Fisher as the former OC.




Ross Bjork is now the AD at Ohio State.

Why isn't Jimmy Sexton the richest man in America?

Louisiana has a history of “ The Guvna” hiring the coach at LSU. Huey Long was in volved in the hiring of the coach at LSU in 1934 when he got Bill Jones to “ resign” and hired Bernie Moore. So yeah Louisiana has a history.

His Grandson and my dad were good friends. Never a dull story out of that guy.

Ah, thank you for clarifying. Who reps Lane Kiffen? Is it Sexton? I thought that maybe that could have been what he was co fused on since he is probably their target

Yes, Sexton reps Kiffin

 

[CaneinBroward]

What’s wrong with fat and stupid?

 

[Cane44]

just for overstepping his role as governor (IMO), I hope he picks the worst coach ever to be at LSU.....

 

[flips]

Truly amazing scenes in Louisiana. Each guy who becomes the main character is an ******* in unique and entertaining ways!

 

[Garnacho]

Yes, Sexton reps Kiffin

This just makes it even more confusing for me. 1 - if Woodward has such a great relationship with Lane’s agent, why wouldn’t you let him work it? It’s not like it’s a one-on-one negotiation. He has a BOT that reviews and approves any offer and counteroffer. That BOT also approved everything with hiring Brian Kelly. 2 - if Lane is their target, why would you make derogatory remarks about his agent? I don’t know, maybe I’m not seeing this right, but the whole thing seems really bizarre to me. Like the governor made a decision while heavily drunk Sunday morning and instead of sleeping on it they just went on an adderal and alcohol bender into the week.

And if Lane isn’t their target, then wtf are they even doing. I think the situation is Lane or bust

I've been saying this for a long time now...

**** off one politician...meh

Introducing the next LSU head coach. They always say, dress for the job you want, not the one you have. Well....

[the storm]

why is the governor picking a football coach?

Ego....Same reason the Board of Trustee chief honcho at UNC hired Belichick and we all know how that’s working out.

This is the type of **** show I’m here for.

Check the tweet i just posted; the governor isn’t exactly a devil with the details. Also, additionally, he came out guns blazing without even proper recognition that the A&M buyout would’ve been half of what it was if it wasn’t for Woodward’s successor; not Woodward himself.

I think the governor is playing politics while also being ****ed off. The high buyout and the raising of ticket prices, announced way before the firing, go together as easy win issues for him.

It is a bit odd to have to a 3rd party have so much control over your program, i.e. repping the qb + HC, and it’s possibly Armstrong used that leverage improperly; not illegal though. I doubt the situation is Lane or bust; because if it is, he’s going to get a similar if not better contract than Brian Kelly lol. He has more leverage and more interest than Kelly had leaving ND {LSU targeted Riley + Fisher before Kelly}

You are on point about the governor shooting first and not worrying about who gets hit later. And that the AD couldn’t make a unilateral decision without many prominent people signing off on it. The governor just seems angry because he hasn’t accepted the reality that 5 agents rep 85-95% of the best candidates so he can’t kill 2 birds with 1 stone and get a top tier coach while also saving money on the buyout backend if things go poorly. I bet he was told some hard truths about the necessary price raises for tickets as well.

Where I’ll agree with the governor is that these buyout numbers are nuts lmao. I did some searching, and the 60th highest paid CFB HC makes around the same amount as the 20th highest paid NFL HC.

The top 10/15 NFL HC get paid more than their collegiate counterparts, but literally triple the opportunities in CFB. If, when, McDaniel gets fired — there is no 25 to 75 million buyout that the Dolphins have to worry about.

The raise/extension package deal, alongside skyscraper high expectations with short memories combination that has become so commonplace is the crux of the issues. The latter can be acceptable if the contract lengths mirror the NFL/NBA’s 4-5 year timespans; however, the increased competition with rotating roster dynamics (i.e. 3-5 years of eligibility) raises the head coaches’, who aren’t restricted by college eligibility or the mystery of teenage/young adult potential, bargaining power

LSU is a top 3 job and they are going to royally eff this up....
