In what way will the Woodward hire positively effect the athletic program?

I understand he is great at acquiring top coaching talent, but in what other ways will he be so much better than Alleva?
FWIW, I’m just stoked Alleva is gone and I love having a homeboy in that position

For starters he’s not Joe Alleva

He's gonna be the new batting coach.

He’s not a pansy

He wants athletic program to do more than “being in the hunt”

They can fundraise again

He will clean house in the compliance department and make the athletic department as a whole more sports friendly.

Being proactive instead of reactive when it comes to critical time sensitive decisions for one. Identifying changes in the college sports landscape and leading the charge. Upgrading shite that NEEDS to be upgraded. The dude has a fricking SACK.

Backbone?

Provides an immediate reset on the athletic side of the LSU campus. Reenergizes the LSU booster base. Athletic Donations have been down.

Biggest thing that jumps out? The coaches won't have the damn Gestapo (compliance department) breathing down their necks and dictating their moves to them anymore. It'll be more like what they had when he was here the last time and Saban sent Bahnsens arse to ticket sales. Don't be shocked when the compliance department gets gutted and some new faces are working there.

Oh, I don't know... maybe not unjustly suspending coaches in rush to judgement, based on an online article, while they're making a national title run in a major college sport?

That was not his talent, it was TAM being so desperate and trying to buy its way to success. Actually, Woodward leaving means you can't buy everything with money.

Fostering an environment of support for coaches instead of one that micromanages them like Alleva was known to do. Implementing a philosophy that uses resources in a way that will actually help the teams succeed instead of just looking at them as revenue generators with only the bottom line in mind. Getting the entire administration on board with the plan and having everyone pulling in the same direction, instead of the political cliques all passive-aggressively wrestling for control that have defined Alleva's tenure.

People will start to donate again? Or at least some. The others won’t until F King is gone. Dude seriously has zero clue how to run a university. Too busy worried about athletics and not enough on the campus. Like how every other building has been under construction for 8 years with no results. Building lazy rivers instead of fortifying departments and laying off a ton of staff members.

He's good friends with NCAA president Mark Emmert, which can only help LSU in touchy situations.

LSU alumni
He knows corrupt Louisiana politics (LA political consultant and legislative liaison), and will keep the good ole boys out of athletics
He worked under Mark Emmert at LSU
His resume speaks for itself (Peterson at UW, Jimbo & Buzz at A&M)
LSU couldn't have made a better hire
