You think it was just some random "hey do you think cam is leaving?" question and not a set up?

If so, I got some nice property you might be interested in.

just because you get info, doesn't mean you HAVE to divulge it. especially on signing day.

ego is what drives someone to deliver a "news story" like this... on national signing day

LSU is amateur hour, from the top down and the media that follows them.

Well he was an unnecessary and negative distraction on an important day. Pretty dumbass move. He needs to be held accountable.

He said it was true. If he just stops at saying he heard the same rumors the story never happens.

I heard almost the same thing at about the same time, from another source, only I heard we were hiring Major Applewhite as O.C. That's a little more than Hannegriff's story.

Don't make excuses.

I know Charles. Aka Hanny. ...... he knew what he was doing.


Eta: he knew what he was doing and the other sources and media didn't hit send.... he did

So if he says "no comment", doesn't that just imply the same thing?


Asked about what he heard? I don't follow radio or anything, but who asked him something that caused him to say that shite on NSD? Also, what did they specifically ask him?

That seems out of the blue to be asked about that on NSD. People around LSU don't know when to just shut the hell up.

You are not correct. I was listening to the show when Hanagriff just out of the blue while talking about recruits said something like: looks like Cam will not be the OC. Then said but we will get into that later. I was like wait what? How do you throw that bombshell and then not want to discuss it?

I like Hannagriff but he jumped the gun on this one.

This situation sheds light on the problem with sports reporting. Sports writers and broadcasters are often NOT journalists.

One of the most fundamental tenets of responsible journalism is that, if you get a tip, YOU VERIFY. If you can't verify with the institution/person in question, you don't have a story. If you DO verify, and no one is willing to go on the record, you DON'T HAVE A STORY.

Too much of sports media is rumor and unsubstantiated bullshite noise because of the environment that suggests that it's somehow alright to not backup the information because people want to know NOW.


Aside from all that, this happened on NSD. Charlie is a veteran broadcaster. He should damn well know better than to potentially harm the reputation of the school for incoming recruits.

Not to mention the fact that, if his info were true, we all know how sensitive coaching change time is. A premature report can DESTROY a deal that is being kept under wraps. And it makes the athletic department look like amateurs who can't keep their flaps shut.

Backpedaling and saying "But, I was just answering a question" is a bullshite cop out.

Proper way it should have been handled.


Source: Hey CC is leaving LSU

Hanny: GTF out of here with that's shite today, no way I'm tweeting that.




THIS. Why is this really that hard to understand? There's a time and a place for everything. I don't care if Joe Alleva himself is Charlie's source, you don't bring that shite up on National Signing Day while the ink's not even dry on a bunch of recruits Cam himself has been pounding the pavement for.

It makes LSU look like a bunch of incompetent idiots.

Uhhh he is a radio host. Not a single regular fan had heard about the Cam situation until he acknowledged it...so yeah he broke it and broadcast it.

I was standing next to the table when he said. " I've spoken to a few people inside the organization about the CC situation which causes me to believe it's true" TIFWIW I think it happens in next few days
