Scott Woodward is out as LSU's athletic director, the school announced Thursday night, just days after the Tigers fired coach Brian Kelly amid a 5-3 season.
Verge Ausberry, the executive deputy athletic director, will be the interim athletic director.
"We thank Scott for the last six years of service as athletic director," said Scott Ballard, LSU's board of supervisors chair. "He had a lot of success at LSU, and we wish him nothing but the best in the future. Our focus now is on moving the athletic department forward and best positioning LSU to achieve its full potential.
