Can we all agree now that Woodward and LSU were caught off guard with Riley going to USC?

If we're making this late of a push for Brian Kelly, with no real confirmation as to whether this will happen or whether he's even interested, I think it's pretty telling as to where we are right now.

Riley was the guy, we thought we had him, and we missed.

At this point, I hope we get him. We need a coach, and Kelly is a brand name in college football.

If we get turned down here we'll be going into the middle of the week with no coach and no real headway with anyone.

He is aimless. Glad he went duck hunting and was having a great time though.

you’re basing this off of the same unsubstantiated rumors that blew up the entire Riley debacle in the first place

I'd be lying if I told you I'm not questioning the process right now.

You are 100% correct and the only people disagreeing are in major denial and just trying to do damage control or cope with failure

This is correct and people are still blind thinking Woody is setting all of this up and they are all smokescreens for some insane hire
Idiots. The hire is not going to be a home run.

I don’t follow

If Brian Kelly is the hire, it’s clear BK was the target all along and we never offered Riley.

BK is a much more accomplished coach than Riley, it’s not even debatable really.

No he’s not

He’s basing it off the fact that we don’t have a coach and now have a new target that we’re negotiating with

Ironically this is just your form of cope.

Baring an incredible hire of a coach currently in the mix for a championship we 100% got fricked by Riley. Seems the whole CFB world was in on it but us. Kelly is most definitely a fallback.

No. Can we all agree that this board has zero fricking clue? Still entertaining none the less.

Not at least talking with Napier is crazy to me. Why not at least interview him?

Possibly, but I don't think that Woodward didn't do his job. He's had contingencies lined up. He isn't just trying to contact Brian Kelly out of the blue. That's not how the baseball hire happened, I'm sure it's not how the football hire is going.

we haven’t even hired Kelly. You’re just accepting it as fact - the same shite that happened with Riley. This is hilarious.

The hire hasn't even been announced and yall are already calling it a failure and melting.
