Paul Finebaum reacts to Jeff Landry comments on Scott Woodward: 'Pretty well body-bagged him'
As word spread of Gov. Jeff Landry’s comments about LSU athletics director Scott Woodward, SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum reacted in real time. He said the remarks were something he had rarely, if ever, seen before.
During an appearance on ESPN's Get Up, Paul Finebaum was asked about LSU's decision to fire Kelly. He made a strong statement, saying Kelly not only lost on the field but also lost the support of the people in power and even the players in the locker room.
Two of the biggest jobs in the SEC are officially open. Last weekend, the University of Florida announced that head coach Billy Napier has been fired. This weekend, LSU announced that head coach Brian Kelly has been let go.
Paul Finebaum believes Brian Kelly’s job at LSU is in serious jeopardy after a 49–25 loss to Texas A&M, saying it’s “DEFCON 1” in Baton Rouge. Kelly’s massive $52 million buyout could, however, complicate any immediate move.
Paul Finebaum believes Lane Kiffin is the ideal replacement for Brian Kelly at LSU, explaining on ESPN’s Get Up why the Ole Miss coach should prefer the LSU job over Florida and Penn State amid both programs’ coaching searches.
