This entire meltdown is centered around Fisher's comments when hired about liking working with Woodward.
1) I am sure they do like working together but when you take a new job who doesn't say flattering things about their new boss?
2) Do we really think if all other things equal, Jimbo would have turned down our job if a different AD offered it to him?
3) They don't have to be best pals, if Jimbo has an AD that provides him all the resources he asks for he's not going to give a damn who it is.
I see it as an insult to Jimbo to think he's that weak that he'd follow an AD who's his friend around like a puppy. It comes down to my point 3. If we hire an AD that won't tell Jimbo no when he asks for what he feels he needs to win we have nothing to worry about. We have the money to not say no to any requests. LSU doesn't and he already was in a job at FSU where that caused problems.
You all are putting WAY too much emphasis on the closeness of an AD and a head football coach. Sure give Jimbo a say in who we hire but it's not like Woodward is the only AD possible Jimbo could work for.
