Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) said Wednesday that Louisiana State University (LSU) athletics director Scott Woodward will not be involved in picking the university’s next football coach.

“I can tell you right now, Scott Woodward is not selecting the next coach,” Landry said at a press conference. “Hell, I’ll let Donald Trump select it before I let him do it.”

On Sunday, LSU parted ways with head football coach Brian Kelly. Kelly, hired in November 2021 after 12 seasons at the University of Notre Dame, went 34-14 during his time leading the Tigers, reaching the SEC Championship Game in 2022.
