LSU Football Coach UPDATE

I planned on not starting another thread after last night but just to put some other rumors from the media and others to rest, this pattern of the media trying to break and form rumors or gut feelings into official news is going to continue through the week so be prepared for it.

I spoke with another TD poster via email today and I'll share the same info as I did with him:

This coaching hire is extremely private, last year's debacle was an huge hit to the brand we've help build the past 20 years but the worst hit of all was ESPN bashing us publicly. The only details I can share on this is that ESPN has ties to the SEC with the SEC Network, the CFP and the their favorite child Bama. LSU is keeping things extremely confidential as to shut out ESPN and national media who are like sharks waiting for the first drop of blood to gouge us again publicly. This was a major reason for the lack of any information besides general statements being shared by LSU about this coaching search. I know it sounds like a tinfoil conspiracy but I was able to confirm that this overwhelmingly is the reason for keeping this search so tight lipped.

I will reiterate this again as I've reconfirmed my information again today and it is concrete and has not changed that Jimbo will be our next head coach. Rumors about O, Herman and other candidates including Jimbo are going to fly around all week and the media is going to try to run with it until early next week. Problem is this go around is that not one single one of them will be able to confirm shite until LSU is ready to. This isn't a search to appease the masses, this is a search to bring our football program (the most profitable one in the SEC last year at 133.1 million) to the highest levels attainable and to cement LSU as a destination school and that my friends is business and putting that business first is going to make every one of us alumni, fans, student, etc united and happy for a very long time.

This may be TLDR but understand why misinformation will continue to fly and media and others will continue to run unconfirmed rumors and out right lies until something sticks. This time around the shite is going to be stuck on their hands not our university's.
