Ryan Aber of the Oklahoman talked candidly about Lincoln Riley’s chances of leaving OU for LSU. Surprised me with a bunch of his answers.

Jump to about 1:41 and take a look. I think y’all will enjoy.

I got to the 10 minute mark and he didn't really say anything. Can you give some cliffs?

Yeah all I got was him saying he didn’t show up to a press conference and doesn’t know why. Then said message board chatter is message board chatter.

Was there more?

The video was posted 33 mins ago and the length is over an hour in a half, from what I heard about 15 minutes in , He is not coming and has a $10m buyout and OU can match any LSU offer.

Totally understand.

He said OU prides itself on not overpaying coaches and he’s not sure if it would match LSU’s best offer.

He said they are hoping moving to the SEC will elevate the recruiting at OU bc that’s what’s holding back OU in the Playoffs.

He also said LR is a passionate recruiter and deeply enjoys recruiting on top of being an offensive guru. Honestly a few of those answers should have LSU fans salivating.

He did ultimately say his gut says he stays at OU, but he’s not dismissing LSU’s chances.

That’s my best try off the top of my head.

OU isn’t gonna match LSUs offer if we think we had a legit shot at pulling him

I think they would...but, if Riley is coming, he's probably not only coming for the money.

He’s be a fool if he didn’t take the money, he could build LSU into a true dynasty. Grandma saban is on his way out the door, moles are forming out of nowhere

Woodward has the green light to go up to $12MM/year for Riley.

I’ll believe it when I see it. He’s got it made where he’s at and even though LSU may be a top 5 job, OU is still a top 10 job.

Now that's a big name, I wish Woodward would bring in a got damn Lincoln Riley, shite would be off the charts. You know someone like him would pull Max Johnson's arse out in a second if he's not producing. Lol

but I keep hearing about damn Jimbo Fisher, Woodward hired Fisher at A&M and that's all you keep hearing is him being lured over to LSU.

That's exactly why I think Jimbo stays where he is.


It wouldn't be a very 'Woodward' hire if he goes and hires a guy he hired 7 years ago and on top of that, Woodward now has Jimbo's body of work to look at. When Woodward got Mulkey to leave Baylor which I never thought would happen and the Johnson hire in baseball looks great too.

His (Jimbo) best season since he was hired was last year, if memory serves.

It's not up to me but I'd be underwhelmed if he hires him.
