LSU athletic director Scott Woodward resigned under pressure from the post he’s held for six years on Thursday night, four days after the firing of football coach Brian Kelly and a day after Republican Gov.

LSU and athletic director Scott Woodward are finalizing his separation from the school in the wake of coach Brian Kelly's firing and criticism from Gov. Jeff Landry, sources confirmed Thursday night to The Advocate.

Nick Saban told On3 the best jobs now hinge on roster spending, a lens that puts LSU’s opening under the NIL and portal microscope.

Now, it's being reported that LSU is parting ways with athletic director Scott Woodward. This, according to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, who is also reporting that Executive Deputy AD Verge Ausberry will step in in the interim.

LSU won six national championships during Woodward's tenure, but he was criticized for the size of his coaching contracts. Gov. Jeff Landry said Wednesday that Woodward would not hire the Tigers' next football coach after the firing Sunday of Brian Kelly.

Ed Orgeron, who served as LSU football's head coach from 2016-2021 and led the team to an undefeated season and national title in 2019, "would love" to guide the Tigers once again, he told ESPN's Evan Cohen on Unsportsmanlike.

Alabama football and LSU will be kicking off after dark when the programs face off at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Nov. 8. The SEC Office revealed the television schedule for that weekend's slate on Monday, and the No. 4 Crimson Tide's contest against the Tigers is set for 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.

Brady left LSU as the Tigers' hot-shot offensive coordinator following its 2019 perfect season with Joe Burrow, landing in the NFL as the Panthers' play-caller. He spent two seasons in Carolina before joining the Bills and has worked alongside star quarterback Josh Allen since. Brady's on Penn State's target list, too.
