Anybody else under the impression Jimbo is just a smoke screen?

Way too much talk about him to make me believe Woodward is hiring him here. Really believe the actual top 3 are Riley/Aranda/Rhule (dark horse candidate, but makes sense). If we get any of those three, will be incredibly satisfied. Geaux Tigers

The most overused phrase on this site is “smokescreen”

Fans seem to comfort themselves with the possibility of hiring a coach they don’t like by calling it a smokescreen

I think Woodward really likes Jimbo and would love to have him in BR.

Jimbo is more of a reality than Rhule

I keep seeing “smokescreen “. What is the idea here? Are those of you saying this of the mind that SW is playing some kind of game and putting out false rumors, etc?

I find that weird. Might he have spoken to agents about these coaches and it gets out in some way? Okay. But, the way I read these posts is that it is a purposeful action to throw off……who, exactly?


It just seems odd to keep calling some internet fanfic a “smokescreen “

As much as I hope Jimbo is a smoke screen, it seems like Woodward really wants him.

IIRC, Woody has used “smokescreens” pretty often, see the Mike Bianco smokescreen to then hire jay johnson. Have also heard he will leak false information to certain folks in the building to see who leaks information as well. Smart on both ends as it shows him who he can trust and if it lets out, distracts everybody else while he’s working on his actual target.

Agree. People seem to think Woodward is somr type of counterintelligence ace, rather than an AD.

Sure... I bought in to the Riley leaks last week. Everybody is a smokescreen for Riley at this point!

There is no doubt that if you're trying to negotiate and ink a deal with someone, the most likely thing to blow up the deal is for news to leak out. Similar if everyone is focused on someone else, even better. If SW isn't throwing smokescreens, then he's not playing with all of his chess pieces.

He'd be absolutely stupid to walk away from 100 mil guaranteed.

LSU would be idiotic to match that contract. It's not even the yearly cost it's the cost to fire him that's the issue

Again. Fanfic. Just because someone said ‘Bianco was a smokescreen’ does not make Bianco a smokescreen.

I honestly do not believe for one second that SW gives a sick rat’s arse about smokescreens. It is silliness. The agents know who he is talking to and why. He doesn’t care to fool us. It is not like he is organizing a surprise party. He is a serious dude hiring serious coaches for serious jobs.

Have you noticed the Jimbo talk has all but subsided?

The past few days/week has been Riley with a mix of Tucker, Aranda and now Stoops....
