Based on what we actually know, can we all agree we know absolutely nothing?

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.

How do we know any of this shite is true?


USC can keep a lid on hiring Riley until the last minute but we can’t?


Maybe it was true. Maybe it wasn’t, but we and the media have no idea. Of course they’re going to report on any drop of information. They got tons of people to click watch and listen.

IF the Kelly reports are true, then yes, this search is in cluster frick mode.

He did give Jimbo a 100 million guaranteed contract. And thought he was worth it. So anything is possible.

$75 million to be fair

That amount wouldn’t even spark interest nowadays so in a way it was pretty smart.

The Aggies did the $100 million part without him.

maybe we missed on Riley, maybe we
didn’t, not one person outside of
woody and a couple others know for sure. And maybe he’s gone through 5 targets and missed and maybe he’s still on his first target.. why don’t you and everyone else let the hire
Happen before freaking the eff out..

I don’t believe they were. I think they thought he was interested in the job (which was false) but the interest wasn’t enough for LSU to make the offer. I believe Verge Ausberry on thos.

My mistake. But it was the largest guaranteed contract if I’m not mistaken. He still wasn’t worth it at the time or now.

No. The smart set can agree that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

100% complete bullshite. Riley stated publicly that he was not going to be the LSU coach. Now, LSU was going to try again after the game Saturday, but no one was caught off guard.

The journalists are way behind what's really going on. Feldman tweeted USC was going to make a run at Riley and an hour later the hire was announced. Did you see his deal? That shite didn't come together in an hour.

If there's really any substance to the Kelly deal, they've been working on it for weeks.

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.


Not sure if we are making a push or not. Seems more like a leak to get a pay raise, but could be wrong.

Riley was not a smoke screen for Kelly. ND is not making it to the CFP. Their sched is shite and they have beaten multiple shite teams by 3 points and getting extremely lucky. Let’s pick a guy worth a damn. Only two situational conference championship bugaboos, Kelly’s fighting Irish would luck their way into a 1st rd L.
