re: I think letting the Riley news go rampant will really kill this hire.

You're heavily overestimating Riley.

How do you STILL believe that the "riley news" went "rampant"??? It literally wasn't reported, at any point in time, by any well-respected CFB reporter.



Wrong. Dellinger specifically reported that Riley chose USC over LSU.

if LSU had no interest in Riley and was being used as a "smoke screen", why didn't LSU just come out and announce directly or indirectly that it wasn't pursuing Riley?


Because then when the rumor mill hit on an actual target and they didn’t immediately squash it, the tea leave readers would run with that as confirmation.

You can’t stonewall “no comment” only when it’s true

LSU could have done better at squashing the rumors(if they really were rumors) before they got bad.

How? And, furthermore, why? If Riley was, in fact, never on their radar, then what difference does all of the rumors on the CCB make anyway? Most, if not all, of the rumors and speculation came from this board, right?

LSU will most likely be entering the rinse and repeat pattern of Tennessee, Florida, Texas and Texas A&M.


Our last hire was a neanderthal and that didnt happen, so…..

I don't think we are doing a search this time either. Sounds like Woody just locked on to his guy.

Is it the job of LSU to have a press conference to squash TD rumors? Get a fricking grip.

Last time we went for two top candidates, had a really bad DC that swung and missed twice, and got Ed O.

Sky is the limit here boys, now where but up.

That is why he was hired, not to enter the rinse and repeat pattern.

Matt Rhule would be a home run imo


How the dude lost to every single ranked team he faced at Baylor, and only beat two in the 20s at Temple. Now, he is failing hard in the NFL. His recruiting at both stops was average at best. How in the frick is he a home run hire?

It’s honestly worrisome that your truly believe the AD and admin staff are creating accounts on Tiger droppings to pump up the search. Seek help
And that’s honestly one of the more sane scenarios he’s cooked up over the last couple months.

Woodward hired Pelini without Orgeron knowing about it according to that guy.

But according to Woodward acolytes, there can be no leaks, ever, because only his braintrust knows the master plan - so this situation would never materialize. That's yet another problem with the zealots here, they are internally inconsistent. Is there a prospect of leaks or not?

People can delude themselves if they wish, but I'll remain rational. The most probable explanation for recent events is that Woodward targeted Riley and missed, not some sprawling conspiracy of coincidence and nefarious, cunning agents. It's laughable. Woodward may still hire a great coach, but he's not an infallible genius. Sorry. I'm going to wait to see who the actual hire is.

The reason he was hired was because the thought process was not to enter the rinse and repeat, continuation of the current program.

You can disagree with it, but that was reason... no rebuild. You're onto a major rebuild now.

Orgeron already said he never even spoke with Pelini, no interview. You dipshit.

You assume so much based on literally zero data. I’ve met people like you, they aren’t very successful at life.

If that name is “Aranda” that is home run enough for me.

Which only proves O is as dumb as we all thought, not that Pelini was hired by Woodward.
