There’s nothing this guy can’t do with enough of other peoples money!!! Hooray LSU!!!

Just ignore that Jimbo hire he made at TAMU!!!

Sailor Scotty’s pitch: “Whatever they’re paying you, I’ll double it!” Drunk Scotty is a shrewd negotiator that drives a hard bargain!!! He should write a book: “The Art of the… Aww frick It-Just Overpay For It.”

Live look at Sailor Scotty right now:

AD jobs are easy when you have boosters who want influence and have lots of money.

Why are you melting over lsu making, in your eyes, a dumb decision?

Or perhaps you know ole miss could never pull Brian Kelly and the fact he’s a great proven coach

Oof

What I don’t understand is how LSU can pay this considering the state of the University’s finances.

How many times do we have to explain this?

LSU athletics (and TAF) are COMPLETELY separate from the university and do not receive a penny of university/state funds. It is a completely separate and fully independent entity from the university. LSU is one of the few athletic departments in the country that doesn’t receive any funding from university/public funds.

The only public funds we get is from the children’s hospital funds.

The kids have been told. Kelly’s first meeting at LSU is with the kids at the hospital.

The kids are excited!

Mississippi St. settles for guys like Leach and LSU snags the most successful coach in Notre Dame history. It must be hard to look at yourself in the mirror and realize I’m a Mississippi St. fan.

I think most grasp the concept but
Woodward seems to be way over the top when it comes to spending especially coming off year when they claimed to have lost $80 million athletics.
LSU athletics loses $80 million from Covid

-$20 million in annual debt service
-$30 million in owed in coaching buyouts (would love to know who's picking up this tab)
-$9+ million for new Kelly plus whatever the number for his assts
-$2 million for a WBB coach

Sorry,I'm used to our penny pinching ways of our AD (except for FB) can't imagine a ledger like this.

There has been significant discussion related to the economic impact to the State of Louisiana when LSU does not field a great football team. It is more than $1billion to Baton Rouge alone in a single football season. Woodward has stacked LSU by standing by Will Wade - Basketball, hiring Kim Mulkey -women's basketball, hiring Jay Johnson - baseball and now Brian Kelly. Add that shite to your "ledger". Total idiotic post.
