Woodward is an idiot then. Riley is a perennial 8-4 coach in the SEC. Congratulations Woodward you just sealed your own fate.

Loose lips sink ships. This will go like previous searches and end up with Lincoln getting a huge raise to stay at OU, while LSU goes back to square one.



That’s not how any of this works. Unless he really didn’t want to be there, Riley was always going to give OU a chance to match the offer. There’s no reality that exists where Riley secretly signs a contract with us, cleans out his office at 2 AM, and just starts working at LSU.

“Previous searches” were the LSU side getting cold feet with the “optics” of paying Jimbo, and Tom Herman’s agent putting out a fake story to motivate Texas. Freeman used us to leverage for more money, but that didn’t fall apart due to a leak.

Because I know. And when you know, you know. It’s not Lincoln. It never was Lincoln. It never was any of the coaches everyone said a deal was close or done. A few people are starting to figure it out so if you’re watching the board you may have noticed who it is now. See if you can spot it. Some of us knew it all along but everyone called us crazy. We’ll, guess we weren’t so crazy after all.

How unhelpful. “I know who it is but I’m not saying who, and I’ll come back next month and say I told you so no matter who it is as long as it isn’t Lincoln.”

He says it’s Saban, he’s been saying that for weeks.

(Just to be clear, he never claimed any sources, he just says he “connected all the dots”)

I’d love for him to be correct, but we all know that he’s probably not.

You can always tell someone is just writing fanfic when they are super vague with the whole “I know but you’ll just have to wait and see” schtick

out of all coaches he is the last one you choose to come here.

he is 70. he is not coming here to start all over again. he is a legend at bama and has a statue. he has zero reason to leave. zero.

I don’t believe so, but if it is a smokescreen then we’re getting someone better than Riley, and that list is very very small.

Sounds good either way to me.

(You don’t use Riley as a smokescreen to hire a Napier or Tucker, you would only use Riley if you were after an equally-good or better big fish)
