Scott Woodward is currently on a speaking engagement tour across Louisiana and it’s easy to see why he’s such a popular guy in the state these days.

The former Texas A&M AD returned home to Baton Rouge this year and all indications are LSU has done nothing but strengthened its athletic department in the short time since Woodward’s return to his alma mater.

But it’s not just his work in Baton Rouge that makes Woodward a fan favorite, it’s his willingness to give the fans what they want to hear during his speaking tour that’s sure to win him some praise from Tiger fans all across Louisiana.

During his latest such engagement, Woodward talked up the university’s ability to attract the best and the brightest and found a way to show in a few shots at Nick Saban at the same time.

“I know that there’s a guy in Alabama that has regrets that he’s not here today and shame on him. But, we have one (Skip Bertman) with a higher IQ that’s here today.”
