Do we know if Riley has any interest in the NFL?

Maybe some of the OU guys can answer this. An 8 year contract is a lot of years. I'd imagine if LSU thinks he has any serious interest in the NFL that there would be some language in the contract if he decides to leave. Any thoughts?

shite I didn't see the other thread about the NFL.

Cowboys and Lincoln have had rumors for awhile. It could be something he decides he wants to do down the road.

I don’t think we’re getting Riley but even if we do I’ll constantly be worried he’ll leave for the NFL.

NFL teams would never give any coach the money and years Riley is going to get.

Which is why I'm wondering if anyone knows if he's even interested in being an NFL coach. It seems like he's had the opportunity. Is it possible he just wants to be a college coach?

Yeah he told TrueTigerTale that he has about 20% interest in the pros.

For sure, he's uprooting his family, buying a house, moving, and then will do it all again in a few years...

I've heard his interest is actually about 24.16%, but that may change between now and Sunday.

That’s my thought. He wants to be Urban Meyer and move up. Mayfield wanted him in Cleveland, understandable but does also reveal that he may have that goal. Coming in and winning here would benefit us in the short run but Aranda feels like that long-term winner to me

Yes. He passed on the cowboys last time because he didn’t feel ready and hadn’t won anything in college. It’s been expected that once he wins a national title, and the cowboys job reopens, he’d take it.

I don’t agree with you here LSU has raised the bar at the college level with this new hire that’s about to happen. Everybody across-the-board is getting extensions and millions more. NFL salaries will go up Absolutely no doubt. My only worry is are we going to get a percentage from all these agents getting that extra money ? we need it to defer buyout cost amounts . lol

Thanks. That makes some sense. Sign me up for a natty in a few years then go get Aranda.

If he comes to LSU and decides to test the NFL waters in a few years, so be it. Saban left for the NFL, and we won two more national championships with less-than-stellar coaches. We'll be fine.

I think if we're able to take away someone from their school with money, then an NFL team would be able to do the same to us. It'd be naive to deny that.

All good, young coaches have interest in the NFL. It’s the big leagues.

I think this is accurate after the last Dallas Cowboys search. He wants to coach the Cowboys but won’t do it until he wins a MNC in college. Might be why there’s some smoke to LSU. I don’t see it happening personally, but once OU announced to the SEC it makes sense if Miles and Ogre can win one he can also easier than at OU. The good thing for LSU if that is true, you’ll get a good coach and another MNC
