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.
Lookup for the reports when Philly Eagles & Cowboys were flirting with him... local Dallas sites had reported that Lamonte represents Daboll and Riley so he (Lamonte) represented two of the top candidates for both Philly and Dallas.

This was in Jan of this year however.

Lamonte is/was also Stoop's, both of them, agent.

PSR (Lamonte's firm) focuses on coaches and executives (e.g. GM's) primarily in the NFL. Less on players. But a "handful" is a huge understatement.

- In addition to Lamonte (or Armstrong??) keep an eye on Bennett Speyer.

Btw….Preston Guy is a fricking hack. Knows nothing and reports total BS


Email screenshot

His agency is Athlete’s First, not Bob LaMonte / PSR. Here’s a screenshot from the email verifying with the agency Lincoln Riley was indeed not a client.

Total hack job.

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.


Nothing I said mentioned anything like that. I presented facts that were relevant to my audience. Never once did I mention anything else. Never once have I hinted at any of that. I very much believed and still believe LSU has been in extensive contact with Riley.

In fact, if you go look at my podcasts, I’ve been on on the Lincoln Riley trail for quite a while.

Unfortunately when non-reputable reports surface with inaccurate information, a lot of people can still believe it. Fact-checking rumors and reports like that is important.
