LSU just make the case for every recruit in the US that there is no better place to be where LR is.


Really...every recruit in the US has been watching OU make the playoffs and get beat and skullfricked by LSU...

This is asinine. The numbers you’re responding to are $5.5M per year. Over 8 years of the contract that’s $44M he’d be leaving on the table in your scenario.



Exactly. That guy is an idiot.

No recruit is leaving Louisiana for Oklahoma. Riley is attractive as the coach for LSU. He can compete with Saban and Jimbo at LSU. At Oklahoma? Clown world.

If this is true, I don’t blame him. I moved out of BR because I didn’t want to raise my kids in that sh*thole. Understandable.

The guy sounds more like a fan than some insider.

He sounds way too emotional to be taken seriously.

I haven't read through this whole thread, but one thing doesn't make sense to me. With all the talk of Riley possibly leaving and the early signing day rapidly approaching, why keep his new deal with Oklahoma secret until after the season?

This post was written by a fan of a team outside the SEC who clearly doesn't understand what it takes to recruit in the SEC

...

...

Ironically, his argument is centered around recruiting.

So this guy is saying it was all a ploy to recruit Louisiana better? Lol ok



Yeah that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, lol, and that’s exactly what he was saying.

“guys, there’s nothing to this! Riley is doing all of this strictly for recruiting!” ROFL

That was clearly a homer post and the guy has his head in the sand. His post makes me think it’s actually happening. They are clearly reaching big time for answers.

Understandable. I wouldn't want to live in Baton Rouge either. Especially not North Baton Rouge

IF LR is actually serious about winning national titles, the pitch is simple...

now that you are in the SEC and have to go through bama, GA, LSU, FL, etc every year -- do you want to try and beat those teams with Oklahoma players or LA's?

Id then remind him we've already seen what the results look like with Oklahoma players (see playoffs)

Are you sure about that?

I can definitely see someone not wanting to move to Baton Rouge, but the recruiting stuff is BS.

This line is played out honestly.

People in that tax bracket with jobs like HC at a major football program simply do not live the same way the unwashed masses do regardless of zipcode.

Whether Norman, Baton Rouge, Athens, Tuscaloosa, or Gainesville, these coaches all live a life none of us can comprehend, that's just what earning $7M+ per year affords you.

So is Baton Rouge a shithole? Many parts certainly are, but let's not act like that has any bearing on the day-to-day life experience of the LSU football HC and his family.

Yeah I always laugh at people that claim certain cities are crappy.

When you have money, every city you live in is nice, because you never see the crappy parts. You live in your own little bubble of house/restaurants/etc. And all major and even minor cities have crappy parts.

Unless there’s a real beach and ocean in the city,, every city is basically the same for upper-middle-class to upper class.
