    Good for us, and it looks like from the title at Ole Miss, he won't be allowed to make any actual athletic decisions, just raise money and business issues. So, it's a win for them too.

    I'm not surprised.

    Eric checks all the boxes (and is finishing a term on the prestigious NCAA D1 committee).

    Meets lots of potential partners at these meetings. And, I told him so when his appointment was announced.
    Good call. I didn't see it coming, but his exit is much needed for our overall program. The last "big move" by him was changing the official name of the Women's programs. That was just nuts...

    OK. Show us what about the article is not true and why it isn't. Otherwise you are calling Jim Henderson a liar.

    Eric’s contributions to Louisiana Tech Athletics will be felt for years to come

    “Eric’s contributions to Louisiana Tech Athletics will be felt for years to come,” said Henderson.

    I feel it every single time one of Tech’s teams like baseball 2023, football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball for years have been underachievers. There’s also the beneath miserable fan experiences that Wood has cemented in place with his lazy not caring attitude to things.

    ”Attitude reflect leadership”. AD Wood has been a reflection of the past and current leadership at La Tech. Someone please name the last AD or Coach this board has strongly supported. My interactions with Eric have always been positive. He was hired in 2020….Covid year, NIL, and transfer portal have all happened on his watch and are things outside of his control.

    Ole Miss went after, and got, the best stadium power washer in the nation. What a steal!

    ...which is the same thing every G5 AD had/has to deal with.

    From my sources, which I trust, he was told it might be wise to seek employment elsewhere...

    He was given this nudge right after the new regime was announced

    I have also been told to look for some big shake ups on the academic side at the Dean level

    I was not a fan of Wood or McClelland on the athletic admin side - good fund raisers, Wood was a little bit more of a people person than McClelland but that's not saying much

    And before folks pull out the pizza to student student - where was that last year? or the year before or the year before

    He was in over his head from day one with operations - good seat wiper but couldn't keep concessions stocked or ticket operations running smoothly

    Yep.. everything Tech has had to deal with has been felt by every other G5 and to a lesser extent most of the low hanging P5. Yet, we are being crushed on every level at every major sport by pretty much any team with a pulse. What was under his control hasn't been as impressive on the field as it reads in a press release.
