So strange, seems like it would easy to find out who a coach’s agent was

Did he switch to Sexton or something?

Lincoln Riley is his own agent. He is keeping the commission too.

Preston is a perfect example of a “reporter” that don’t know shite. This thing may not get done, but he’s all but denying talks have even happened by stating this sarcastically about the agent deal. Whether he comes or not, I think it’s a pretty sure thing that the two sides have had talks

Actually If the agent stuff is true, IMO it makes it MORE LIKELY that something is happening. Jokes on him

In his attempt to throw a wet blanket on Riley-LSU, he inadvertently confirmed that it is Riley to LSU

Lmfao this is some of the dumbest shite out there. The ONLY PERSON who "reported" this was fricking LONN. Literally, the name "Bob Lamonte" had been mentioned ONCE in the past ~2 weeks on all of twitter, and it was by Lonn.



Such outstanding journalism by Preston to fact check that hard-hitting reporter Lonn Phillips Sullivan lmfao.

I can find no evidence that Bob Lamonte is Riley's agent and the only one who reported that Bob Lamonte is talking to LSU is Lonn who is as disreputable as they come. Lamonte isn't like Sexton who represents everybody. A few NFL guys and a handful of smaller time college coaches.

Lamont is a big time agent, but his focus is primarily NFL guys. That’s why he isn’t as well known because NFL searches aren’t the circus that college jobs are with coaches jumping from one team to another.

Bob Stoops had Lamont as his agent, and that’s why I assumed Lincoln chose him. I don’t know if Lamont still represents Lincoln, but he absolutely did as recently as a few months ago.

Neither can I. Tried a number of Boolean searches with some combination of "lincoln riley agent bob lamonte" and the only hit was this article from earlier this year with some ambiguous wording
LINK
quote:

“Of course, making it happen with Riley is another matter. He is making $6.5 million and has a record of 44-8 over four seasons in Norman.”

Some are wondering whether Philly did this without a plan. I say that's not an issue. Roseman is a very bright person. And his agent Bob LaMonte is a very powerful person. In one motion, Roseman can hire Brian Daboll, the touted Bills offensive coordinator, and put him in charge ... without ever having to mention that the marriage may have been pre-arranged, for, you see, Bob LaMonte is also the agent for Daboll.


Makes it sound like Lamonte could be Riley's agent with the placement of the word "his."

However, here's a separate piece confirming that LaMonte is in fact Eagles VP Howie Roseman's agent, not LR's LINK
quote:

Philly brass might think Daboll can fix Carson Wentz if hired. Here is another fun fact: Daboll also shares the same agent (Bob LaMonte) as Howie Roseman, the Executive Vice President of the Eagles.

Per a poster at 24/7, Riley is represented by Todd France and David Mulugheta's agency, Athlete's First.
