Landry Sidelines Woodward in LSU Coach Search

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said LSU athletic director Scott Woodward will not choose the Tigers’ next football coach, declaring a board-run search instead — a claim that surprised board chair Scott Ballard. Landry, who joked he’d let Donald Trump pick the coach before Woodward, blasted the cost of Brian Kelly’s buyout—potentially as high as $53 million on a 90%-guaranteed deal—and criticized Woodward’s history of rich contracts. He said he won’t select the coach but wants metrics and fiscal restraint. The shake-up follows Kelly’s firing and comes as LSU operates under an interim president.
