Governor Jeff Landry of Louisiana has barred LSU athletics director Scott Woodward from selecting the university's next football coach, stating that he would "let President Trump pick it before I let him do it." Landry's comments come after what he described as a series of reckless contracts that have cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, including the $95 million, 10-year deal with former head coach Brian Kelly, who was dismissed after just one season. The governor's remarks were made following the firing of Kelly, who was brought in from Notre Dame less than four years ago. Kelly's dismissal came after a 49-25 home loss to Texas A&M, which dropped the Tigers to a 5-3 record and dashed their early-season title hopes. Landry has called for accountability and "no more blank checks" in LSU's athletic department, indicating a shift in the state's approach to the university's football program.
