*******Update 6:30***Tidbits on LSU OC search

This post will say information that has been stated on here previously. I received some new insight.


Lincoln Riley was interviewed and was #2 behind Kiffen. LSU wanted him but they felt he would not leave OU. They had serious discussions. However, because he was not flown in for a 2nd interview, is the reason I believe Canada coming to LSU tomorrow is a formality and will be offered officially tomorrow.A visit at this Negotiation level is usually a mere formality. If Canada is not announced tomorrow or very early Wednesday then Something went wrong.

Riley's interview was very hush hush. I am told the only reason he would not come is because of what he has returning at OU next year. Riley did not want not start over again because an off year could hurt his chances in obtaining a HC position next year. LSU did not hold back on money. If Riley were being flown in tommorrow then he would have been announced tomorrow as OC.

I have been high on Canada but only heard him mentioned in the 3-5 range. He is a pro/ Power Spread guy which fits the offensive style O wants. The knock on Canada was recruiting in South& Texas. I would except a position coach to fill that void now.

Helfrich also did receive an interview, but like I have said he is not on the top 3. Crazier things have happened before, but I don't think gets it. I was told he seemed awkward in the interview.

I believe Sark is next if Canada does not accept. Also, if Sark is not named Bama's OC , O will attempt bring him on staff as position coach. LSU pays its position coach much more than FAU's OC.

Nothing ground breaking in this post. I hope it helps shape what's going on behind the scenes. My friend has not been directly involved in this hiring.

NEW UPDATE:
Deal is done and finishing up details. Should be announced either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Today's interview was nothing more than talking numbers and face to face meet & greet. Principal deal was done last night.

Hope PC is in the morning.
