LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward is married to his wife, Nanette Dicharry, who seems to live a private life away from the spotlight, unlike Scott.

Nanette Dicharry has been happily married to Scott Woodward for several years.

Although the exact date of their marriage has not been disclosed in the media, they seem to share a fulfilling life together.

Scott has frequently spoken about the support of his wife, Nanette, in interviews and press conferences.

While not many personal details about Nanette are publicly known, it is clear that she has been by Scott’s side during his notable victories and achievements.

Nanette was also seen with Scott when he first joined LSU.

In his opening remarks as LSU’s Athletic Director, he even mentioned his wife, Nanette, while thanking the board members and the university president.

Thank you so much, President Alexander, for those really kind words. I want to thank you and the board of supervisors for this incredible opportunity. Many athletic directors and coaches talk about being humbled and honored when they take on a new challenge, but for me here today, humbled and honored are gross understatements. I also want to thank my wife Nannette and our two boys, one of which is here today, Michael Eric. They’ve been so supportive of me in my career, and I know how much this means to them.

While Nanette keeps a quiet, low-profile life with Scott and his two stepsons, Michael and Josh Evans, she has also become a pillar of support for Scott.

LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward Will Not Be Able to Select a New Coach After Governor Jeff Landry Makes His Clear Statements

Scott Woodward is currently at the center of controversy following the firing of head football coach Brian Kelly.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has publicly stated that Woodward will not be allowed to select Kelly’s replacement.

In a press conference held in Baton Rouge, Governor Jeff Landry declared that Scott Woodward would not be involved in choosing LSU’s next head football coach.

Landry criticized Woodward’s handling of coaching contracts, saying:

“No, I can tell you right now Scott Woodward is not selecting our next coach,” 

As of now, Scott himself has not addressed the controversy or given any statement; he now seems to be enjoying family life with his wife and sons.
