re: Here it is (Cane’s sauce style). ***Update Pg. 9***

I’m calling BS. I mentioned you when talking to your uncle and he said he never heard of you. Seriously though, didn’t you say it was either Riley or Aranda previously?

What makes no sense?

Don’t get me wrong, I’d be happy with either Aranda or Napier.

But according to you, Woodward feels Aranda isn’t ready for the big time but Napier is?

Lol. You’re full of shite.

No mention of Mel Tucker? Suspicious. Only black candidate is Franklin. I would actually be super disappointed in Napier.

1–Lincoln Riley—homerun hire, no brained, top of the list. However, Scott isn’t so sure he can lure him. The fact that he will be in the playoffs makes it a little more difficult as well.

Downvote away, but ive been saying from day 1 not to get your hopes on Riley, he's 100% staying at OU. Sure he will call his agent and probably offer him the world, but he has it made and will get another raise.

Dude was handed a playoff team when Stoops retired and is about to be in his 4th playoff and have a Heisman QB for the next two years. He aint coming to the shitshow in BR

I really like Sylvester Croom, but I don't see him re-entering the coaching ranks.

100%. Croom was a good coach.

***Update***I just got home from my uncle’s house. Here are the details.

He chuckled and said he wasn’t completely honest with me before and that he couldn’t be for sake of his job and Bc it’s the right thing to do.

So it turns out the close Arkansas win last year after already having 2 losses is when the wheels were set into motion. At this point SW compiled a list of suitable coaches he’d like to dig into a bit more.

With the help of his staff a list of approximately 16 coaches were vetted. After the vetting process the list shrunk to 11 guys.

Fastforward to this year and at the moment of the Coach O resignation press conference, the list had dwindled to 9. He doesn’t know how many are on the list at this point.

This is about all he would tell me as far as specifics go. He believes that SW, Tate and 2 others will be the only ones to know of the hire pre contract signing.

It seems as though the Monday/Tuesday after conference championship weekend will be when the announcement comes. My uncle believes a day or so before this is when he will find out.

He did tell me a few names on the short list….

Riley
Fickell
Aranda
Napier
Franklin
Which is pretty much what we already knew.

His gut instinct is that Riley won’t come and we will hire Aranda.

That’s all I know and I doubt much more will arise until a day or so before the hire at which point my uncle wouldn’t tell me who anyway.


P.S. I asked about Saban and he said SW absolutely reached out to him but that was the extent of what he know about that. There’s a chance!!!
