How does trotting him out to say we’ll know by Wednesday help from a PR standpoint if they indeed are scrambling? And if they aren’t scrambling then why worry about PR?

I think JV was being honest in his assessment.

"No timeline and we don't have our guy" is much worse optics than "we have our guy, we'll tell you by Wednesday, relax."

BOS, Boosters, etc is very political. You can't just leave them completely in the dark after the Riley thing went down.

Are you referring to the thread about how there was an unofficial BOS meeting tonight and extrapolating from there or is there some 247 thread with cliff notes about the meeting you would like to share with the class?

Woody just spent a lot of other people’s money man.

And

Like it or not, recruits and players heard the name Lincoln Riley. They were all expectedly excited.

This needs to be a quick turnaround. We are living in a PR nightmare.

Biggest hire out of left field LSU can make is someone like Rhule or CUM who basically had zero traction to LSU. With Rhule, he seems like a perfect fit. I'm actually shocked we haven't seen more traction there. It was reported in October he may want out of the NFL. He admires the Saints system which is why he got Brady which would be a perfect translation to an offense we already run. He's a program builder and LSU needs a rebuild. Not only that but he probably would never want to go back to the NFL so you could get a Saban-like hire who stays there for 15+ years. They should've or should be throwing the bank at a hire like that with the money they're tossing around. If you have to inflate the market to get the hire so be it.

He did. OP is just blathering like a moron because he can’t fathom that all the CCB insiders aren’t actually insiders.

Because Woodward can play hardball with somebody who isn't really on anyone's list and force them to say yes by Wednesday. Think coordinators, the less sexy G5 coaches like Bill Clark, or Stoops.

Have you not been reading anything said at all today? If things are going to plan, Woodward let a rumor about a coach we're not getting who is way more exciting than anyone we could possibly get run wild and he needs to send something out there to calm things down.

That's irrelevant. The only reason to trot Justin Vincent out to the local media is to calm things down. Especially when it's a no details vote of confidence in the hire.

If they don’t have their guy, then it would be a horrible PR move to give out specifics on date (Tues/Wed) of when the coach will be announced.

The loose lips are why they should stay in the dark. USC out there like Seal Team 6, but LSU derpping like “have you seen my baseball?!”

Yes they have money or power or both but they can’t shut the frick up about LSU.

And this is why I think CUM is coming this way. USC was all over CUM. CUM said nope, going to LSU. So USC started working on CLR.

Doesn't the committee decide the playoff teams on Tuesday? Wonder if that could help speed up the process.

No, that's when the new updated rankings come out.

The Final 4 and all bowl games won't be announced until Sunday night.

Damage control no doubt. USC beat us out for the coach we wanted. It's that simple and now we're scrambling.


Or the most logical answer is no one actually knows shite besides SW and his inner circle. Everything has been speculation. We don’t even know if Riley was ever seriously considered

Where is LSU “derping”? All the Riley talk was smoke from his side. LSU had nothing to do with that. There are no loose lips and that’s why that rumor got so much traction because people are desperate to get any info right now. This coaching search seems to be going just the way woody wants it to go. Quiet and efficient.
