This has Tom Herman written all over it


We lost out on Herman because Texas made an offer, Alleva got pissed, didn't want to haggle, threw a hissy fit, and hired Orgeron.

Woodward knows how to play the game. And he will do everything to get what he wants.

I will say this. I believe as of today Woodward pulls Riley. Woodward is steamed at the thought of OU getting involved and ruining this. Angry Woodward is no joke.
And he usually gets what he wants.

Did he not think OU boosters would get involved ? And maybe counter? He shoulda expected this.

Nothing like melting over reading between the lines of a cryptic post about a rumor from someone we don't even know the legitimacy of.

People on here need to go back and remember Saban to Texas which was a Done Deal. Texas boosters bragged about it so much he renegged...
Not comparable if leaks are on the OU side

I would not be surprised if this leaks to the national media at some point. Which is what Woodward did not want to happen.


Then why put it on message boards where it will leak??

Woodward is all about misdirection. He expected this, He just wanted the deal done before OU got a chance to jump on it though.

The deal isn’t done as of now.

I’m having fun. Appreciate the entertainment. Melting? I’m asking him a simple question playing along. Go back to being a miserable crying about all these posts.

Looks like youre the one melting crying over legitimacy. Lol.

I’m wondering the same thing and I can guarantee if there is any interest from Riley no one knows anything at OU. Would be be something he and his agent would keep quiet about unless it was put out there to get a raise at OU.

Do you really think any Coach is going to leave without the school making a counter offer?

If it’s Riley, I’d rather everyone just keep their fricking mouth shut until it’s official. I’ve waited this long, I can wait longer not knowing anything if it means we get Riley.

I could see a scenario where a coach felt very loyal/grateful to a school, and while deciding to leave for financial reasons and other reasons, didn’t necessarily want to leave in the middle-of-the-night so to speak and leave the current school shell-shocked and scrambling for a new coach.

Not saying that’s what’s happening here, just saying it’s possible at some point he gives them a heads up that he’s leaving. Not necessarily to get a counter but to be professional about it and give them time to go about searching for a new coach.

From all I’ve seen and read about Riley, this would fit with what I know about him…he’s going to be professional in his departure from OU.

So it's the 'look at me! look at me!' people who could sink the whole deal for us. Thanks!

I mean it would be the right thing to do for sure. Its completely being a professional and not a shitbag, especially if there isnt bad blood there

IF Riley is the target, and IF Woodward is concerned about the “chatter” derailing a potential deal, I would expect to see a diversion/smokescreen in the next couple days, maybe even today?…would be super easy. Just float some BS Franklin/Fleck/MStoops/etc story

If we don’t see that, then either:
1) Riley isn’t the target OR
2) Woodward isn’t concerned with the chatter derailing the deal (in other words, he knows it’s effectively done and that the reasons are more than financial)
