Where we stand currently in LSU Head Coach Hire

Yes we are still in the race but a bit deeper than what some claim to know (including Feldman). Nothing will be announced before the end of the season as several have said here before. Riley was always going to get a counteroffer from OU hence the soft denial publicly. OU IS NOT GOING TO MATCH OUR OFFER. The current atmosphere in the Big 12 with OU and Texas announcing the move to the SEC deems it impossible to stay in conference another year. The looming $76-$80 million dollar buyout is not going to be let go of by the Big 12 (my source in the OU AD made that very clear even before we ever offered Riley). OU is currently scrambling to put together something hence all the recent leaks and Feldman’s denial (he’s just a grifter similar to Windhorst and LeBron).
Any big name HC in college football knows you cannot trust the media period particularly when you’re negotiating to leave big name job for another one and you aren’t under fire. Riley is no different and isn’t absent of that fact. I’m not going to be cryptic as some have been about this deal but it is not at a stalemate nor is it Riley leaning towards staying despite OU media attempting to persuade the masses of that. Have patience and have faith, LSU is firmly established in the SEC and our program knows what it takes to win in the SEC. OU does not and they will have have their bubble popped in recruiting and on the field until they make the adjustment to SEC football.
These are all factors in this decision for Riley and my source stated as much. The one thing the media isn’t and won’t report on is the fact that yes Riley made a promise but he has been at OU a few years now and does NOT want to live in Stoops shadow nor play second fiddle. His record has spoken for itself. Don’t dismiss Riley making his own legacy at a school primed for success currently vs a school that will have to adjust to a different caliber of competition while they attempt to stop living in the past…

If we don't get Lincoln and we settle for Napier over Aranda, I fricking melt big time

This whole he promised, guilt tripping shite is terrible.
I promise I’m talking $12.5m if my current school doesn’t pay that. Call me Guilty as charged

With all due respect, I really think you just made all this up

did this happen at lunch?

So your source is still saying Riley is leaving for LSU?

Ppl keep saying OU won’t match.
If you’re OU and you’re joining the SEC, why let your playoff HC walk without a fight?

Good stuff
Im fine whatever happens as long as it’s not Bill O’Brien or Franklin…While Riley and Aranda are my preference, I’d be fine with Napier too.
Looking forward to see how this all plays out
Sounds like there’s a lot of not-good-shite going on behind the scenes at OU between the boosters and conduct-problem players and Grinch-Riley

This makes some sense. It explains why some on here are still confident in a Riley hire and why SW zeroed in on him as "gettable."

Why am I just now seeing this? Was it previously anchored?
