re: Franklin is out. Will likely stay put at Penn State.

I've also heard we're not about to settle for Napier level and we're getting a big name type so this is exciting as hell to say the least.

This type of thinking is a mistake. It is a mistake to pass up someone just because of the level they are currently at. Not saying Napier is the guy. But if a guy checks off the boxes you are looking for you shouldn't pass him up just because he is at a mid level program. Saban was at a mid level before. Urban was at Bowling Green.

Good. I don't want his rape-coverin-up arse here.

I really hope it's not Dabo. Even if he's successful, we'd have worry about him going back to his alma mater when Saban retires. The optics of that would be terrible.

I still think he's swinging for Riley then Jimbo. Cristobal and Napier would be next.

Maybe it is just me but Dabo doesn't any sense whatsoever. He is basically a younger Orgeron with morals. He brings nothing special coaching wise to the table.

Two NC's and two appearances in the NC games, yes nothing special, move along, nothing to see here.

Saban was at Toledo then Michigan St. then LSU and the NFL then Alabama

It’s gonna be Riley

The amount of $$$ being thrown out as bait for our tier 1 candidates is fricking ridiculous and is scaring some.

Woodward has been turned down by our tier 1 candidates roughly 5-6 times already and is coming back time and time again.

Napier camp has fingers crossed that Woody gives up. The new coach will have a gentleman’s agreement before LSU plays ULM.

I don’t know anyone that knows Woodward like that . People know because they know how much the top dollar has gone up each time. Sexton keeps his clients in the know for how much they’re going to ask for in a raise.

That number has gone up 5-6 times

Mostly on two candidates, Jimbo and Riley. Not as offers but as feelers.

“How does this number sound to get you out of OU?”

“Not good enough”

Literally just that. It’s numbers and fliers that get bounced around so they know who is a realistic get when it comes down to crunch time which we’re rapidly nearing.

If they get one or their top candidates they’re going to be the highest paid coach in the country. Anyone o the second tier will be top 10.

The terms “first tier” and “second tier” obviously aren’t being used when referring to clients or potential hires but it’s a well-known colloquialism on here

I mean… I just say what others tell me and fill in blanks.

I have no real dog in the fight. Everyday is a struggle with just trying to get our house repaired after the storm. I’m fortunate to have made friends over the years that have made it to higher places than I have and I’m thankful for them willing to share tidbits with me.

Bro no shite were a week or two away. The season is over in two weeks and we need a coach before early signing period. Where do you slapdicks come from.
