Sharp knows.

Actually he doesn't. That pompous ass thinks the world revolves around him. I'm ready to come to your office now. And, I'm talking about your invitation John. If Trudy is still your assistant she can call me tomorrow. You know my number.

Can someone give me a summary on why Sharp is the reason Woodward left?

First things first......everything that's been posted about the situation is pure speculation and second (or beyond) hand information.

That stated the rumor is that Sharp and Woodward got crossways and Woodward hit the eject button when he had the chance. Based on other stories told about Sharp over the years, it's not an unbelievable scenario. That stated, I doubt very many people on TexAgs know the actual truth.

1. Sharp is a condescending tw-t.
2. Woodward has been insulted by sharp multiple times
3. Woodward was not given a raise. He is not getting paid what he is worth. And its definitely not the pay that goes with the headache of Sharp.

According to the Texas Tribune he made more than the UT AD which I assume made him the highest paid AD in Texas and likely in the top tier in the entire country. Do you want to at least explore the possibility that Woodward left to take the same job in his home state at his Alma Mater and that Sharp had nothing to do with it?

The tweet about it being thorny at the top was a good indicator. Also, Looch knows something. And the thread from premium with a second hand account of the way Woodward was treated. Seems like everything was pointing that way.

But he is middle of SEC in pay. And to be perfectly honest, he deserves more for Jimbo and Buzz than whoever was "brilliant" enough to get Hotlips Herman.

He also made more than the old LSU AD FWIW. I have a feeling that his new salary will be in range with what he is making now. The interesting thing is that people are worried about negative recruiting at A&M because we lost our AD. Think about this. LSU has one of the best classes in the nation right now. What do you think Orgeron's chances are of coaching those kids for four years?

Sounds like he is ok with a lateral move as long as he doesnt have to deal with Sharp.

Maybe, just maybe, and call me completely crazy, but perhaps Scott didn't really like his boss, and an opening came up in his hometown and he jumped on it.

Yes. Because there is no drama in Louisiana politics. If it's true (and it's probably not) and he can't take the heat from Sharp god help him in Red Stick.

I'm sure he knows but doesn't give a damn; and why should he? He runs the show, he makes the rules, he writes history.

Are you saying that Sharp pushed out Trudy? First Trudy, and now Woodward, when will this madness end?

The only more frustrating and disheartening than Sharp trying to turn A&M into a diploma mill for the sake of making a buck and being open to everyone is someone white knighting for him when they obviously have no clue.

He left for two simple but important reasons.

1. Lack of respect and not being appreciated.
2. No. 1 leads to salary which is the only tangible measure of ones value to an organization.

Now , who is responsible? It belongs to his immediate management Young and Sharp.

This happens in the real business world when the CEO is not paying attention to keeping the organization health and staying competitive.

You left out one of, if not most important, factor "his dream job opened up"

Maybe he stays if he liked Sharp. Who knows. But it's not like he left for some random school

Ha. Is this an attempt at humor? If so, funny.

Sharp had nothing to do with this.

Even the "Advocate" in Baton Rouge has an article about Woodward wanting to go home. That's all it was.

Good thing he can write, since the 2020 Freshman class will not possess that skill set.

Seemed pretty spot on to me. You sound like a sad little girl

The only reason I have a beef with Sharp is this: his making almost a million a year to serve as Chancellor is absurd. That much money to chair a policymaking board for a public institution? That's awful. He frankly should not be paid anything. In the 1980s I was appointed by Gov. Clements to serve on Texas Council for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect and the Texas Children's Trust Fund. I got paid nothing other than my airfare to Austin and hotel room cost.. I understood in taking the position I was volunteering to serve the public's interest, and not make money. I gladly threw myself at the position because it pertained to an issue that was close to my heart. The idea of making money as a policy maker just turns my stomach. It is not the sort of job someone should get rich off of. Rather, it should be a volunteer position.

What bothers me is how Sharp has made himself the center of attention for A&M. I've been an Ag (and multigenerational) for a very very long time and the chancellor has traditionally been very invisible to the point that most people don't even know who the chancellor is He has imposed himself essentially to be the de facto President of the main campus as well. He needs to "sit down bus driver"

Doesn't really matter what you call it. It's what he calls it
