There have been a lot of rumors over the last 24 hours about Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley being linked to the LSU job.

Earlier on Wednesday, Jake Crane Of 'The JBoy Show' reported that Riley was offered an 8-year $96 million contract to replace Ed Orgeron in Baton Rouge, according to his sources.

Later in the evening, National College Football reporter Bruce Feldman sent out a tweet saying that Riley was not going anywhere.

No harm in offering big money. If they match it, it cost OU boosters a lot of cash...who cares. Offer Saban 20 mil a year so the Gumps match it too. This could be fun!

As it has in the past, it would have the effect of driving-up coaching salaries in general

I'll bet if he's staying, it's with a raise.

Well over half of these reports are agent driven to hold the current school the coach works for hostage and get a raise.

All these talks about a specific coach not going to LSU is BS and most likely is done by coaches agents. For example how do you know that Jimbo Fisher was even offered the LSU job? He comes out and says he is not leaving to play "hard to get" game.

Exactly. Jimbo burned his LSU bridge when Jimmy Sexton tried to get more money after an agreement was reached. LSU’s boosters did not like it and said no. Then Miles was retained for what turned out to be 4 more games. Then Orgeron got the job.

Aranda or Napier would both be huge upgrades from O so I’ll save my melt for another day.

Agreed. I would LOVE Lincoln Riley as coach but I’m not gonna be heartbroken if it’s someone else. Him or aranda are my top choices.

I think we are down to Napier. Hopefully he’s still available and interested. If not, I guess we promote the water boy.

If Riley gives up 8 years 93 million and OU doest match and he stays. Then he is one Dumb SOB and I don't want him. Home many times does LSU have to destroy OU WITH HIM AS COACH.
