The rumor was hilarious but what's even funnier is UF had to ask him if it was him and he had to publicly deny it.

Mike Tomlin to LSU


And to USC. His angry reaction when asked about it. “That's a joke to me… There's not a booster with a big enough blank check… Never say never, but never.”

And that rumor died immediately.

The Miles to Michigan had some legs.
The Miles to Arkansas was preposterous, but Alieva fell for it hook line and sinker and Miles got a nice raise out of it.
The Lincoln Riley to LSU had me checking this site constantly that Saturday night and Sunday morning at all hours. I don't know how serious Woodward was about it or whether or not he got played. I was concerned at the time but I am happy with the way things turned out.

When Saban retires I hope he comes out and actually tells the story of how close he was from going to Texas. I believe the deal was done and Mack brown threw a hissy fit and fricked it up. Chicken was 100 percent sure he was going to Texas and all his connections told him so. Lol

Gruden to Tennessee. Guy on this board still owes me 100 bucks for that one. Tom Herman to LSU. Omfg at the insiders on this board at this time, LOL. fricking randomlsuhero was the main one. I’ll never believe anything that guys says EVER. The people on this board thinking they had connections kill me. Nobody knows shite. Period. I’m just glad the connections talk has died way down. I don’t even wanna look at the auburn board to see what kind of people saying they have some insight into who will be the next coach.

My connections have told me the name, but I can’t divulge it.

Let’s just say it’s a “big name.”

Contract is impressive.

Brian Kelly to LSU. It was so far-fetched, the few times it was mentioned, it didn't pick up any steam. Then, when it did happen, it momentarily broke sports media. Just crazy!

Texas don’t need Saban. They got sark. He coached under Saban therefore he’s great too

One thing that worries me about the Dabo to Auburn talk is it is not message board generated. We generally don't want him. Lane is the group favorite. So it is either a smokescreen for who we are really after or legit talks.

Wouldn’t worry. Dabo ain’t leaving Clemson.

This is basically getting every coach at any program with Top 15 presence a raise.

Sexton and his cohort agents are probably finding away to get Ukrainian money into coaches contracts.

Yea I’d say it’s a leverage move but after the year they’re having he better be careful. They might help him pack

They lost one game and hes brought them the most sustained success the program's ever seen. If they ran him off theyd deserve whatever they got after him.

90% of those rumors are started by the HC agent to generate raises.
