That's another thing. If we pull him from Oklahoma , that baw is not moving again.



Ha, that's like saying she cheated on him with me, but she won't cheat on me with anyone else.

If we lured him away, he could be lured away by someone else.

Unfortunately, outside of this board and a few others, the national scene thinks every college coach is coming here.

TBL said we harpooned him and then said we didn’t

Harpooned =/= landed.

Harpooned = big offer has been shot at him. A single harpoon does not bring in a white whale.

You do realize the only smoke out there is right here on TD, right? He likely doesn't even realize this message board exists.


Took me two seconds to Google LR to LSU and find two pages worth of articles on it. Only a couple were related to TD.

True. He may indeed be the hire, but there's no smoke aside from this board. If people really believe what they say about Woodward, would a lot of smoke be a good sign or a bad one?

The Oklahoma to Dallas coaching pipeline is very, very real. As soon as Jerry World calls him to coach there, he's gone.


He already did call once and Riley said no.

Also, besides Switzer, how many times has this actually happened?

That's some serious spin. You know damn well what he was implying with his post. And its not that we extended an offer.

It's not spin. It's exactly what he said, and later reiterated.

This board takes all this smoke and mirrors BS way too seriously.



Harpooned =/= landed. By very definition, they are two very different things. I can hook a giant fish and not land it. It can break the line.

Many Oklahoma coaches had strong connections with, and links to,, the Dallas Cowboys, and Cowboys coaches conversely with links to Oklahoma.

Switzer was one, sure. Also Les Miles, Jimmy Johnson, Chan Gailey, to name a few.

ETA:

JFC, I gave concrete examples and you downvoted me. This board is hilarious! People sure don't like hearing what they don't want to hear

He was never offered. His dream job is the cowboys. The timing wasn’t right the last time, but he wasn’t offered anyways because he had already told Jerry that he couldn’t do it yet. After he wins a title in college, and his daughters get slightly older, he’ll make the jump. But he wants to win something first, so LSU fans won’t mind, because he’d have a national title for them under his belt before jumping.

If you have all this"inside" information, why have you not shared it on any of the OU boards? Hmmm...

Since we’re talking about humans and not animals, harpooning means landed.
If it were an animal then it means we put a big spear into something that does not want a spear in it.

Riley is not an animal and we aren’t out hunting something that does not want to be here. We are trying to hire someone that wants to be here.

You’re telling us that we put a spear in Riley and he didn’t want that?
