Not claiming any secret sources nor am I trolling. I’m starting to believe he and Woodward have already agreed to terms and now it’s just a waiting game with when it’s announced. Cincy’s season and the early signing day period complicate things but will be worth the compromise and wait.

If it really is him then an early recruiting cycle isn’t super important. Get your guy first.

Wrong , swung and miss on Riley now they scrambling . It would take 15 million plus to get Fickell at this point. I say we end up with Aranda or Cristobal.

If we’re going all in…my guess would be Urban Meyer.

I’m sure he wants out of Jacksonville, and the feeling is very likely mutual.

No, because a presser was scheduled for today, and was hastily cancelled by LSU. It doesn’t mean Luke won’t be our coach, but it is not a done deal waiting for the timing to be announced.

As much as I would like to see that happen, it sure does not appear likely.

Fickell has been my preference from the beginning of this process.

I didn’t say I’m hoping and dreaming. I said that’s who I think will be announced. I won’t be disappointed if I’m wrong, but I’ll still be happy if I’m right…..

LSU can’t afford to not have a coach before earlier signing day. If fickell won’t commit now, gotta look elsewhere

And that comes straight from a caterer. You guys still believe everything you read.

I agree w OP 100%
Luke Fickell was always Woodward's top choice and he has him. Delayed announcement is at the request of Fickell as his team doesn't need the distraction during their legit run for the CFB Playoff.
Nobody in the media or anywhere else has had any inside scoop. Agents for several coaches played their cards correctly, leveraging new extensions and pay raises or big contracts for new jobs for their clients, using perceived interest from LSU.

No assurance this has happened, but it is what I feel is the most likely scenario.
Fickell is a Homerun hire too!
