We were not wrong. He was the target. Woodward got Poached.
I sourced too.. heard Lincoln Riley. I was wrong, Shea was right.
Shea doesn’t know the name. I believe him. Nobody knows except maybe 6 people.

Yes maybe the fans and every talking head in sports media is wrong about LSU being a top job and the whiny message board chicken littles are correct

Why? So idiots on TigerDroppings don’t have hurt fee fees?
Because this is a PR nightmare. You can pretend it’s not but this is entertainment. It’s nothing more. No one wants to tune in, donate, etc when they don’t enjoy the product. No one likes to feel like they were beat. Woodward isn’t controlling the narrative and it makes LSU look bad. No one even sniffed USC and Riley. And if it was coming from Riley camp, Woodward has ways to get the word out to tamper expectations. Start leaking other exciting names, work with Riley’s agent, etc. There’s no excuse to let your athletic department look so dysfunctional.

Top university at getting to the goaline only to fumble. It has been a common theme for years now. Why are so many coaches playing LSU if it's such a highly sought after job? Why are hiring coordinators like Jones or Peetz with the money LSU is slinging out? Ask yourself that.
It's not as attractive as this board makes it out to be and they have built-in negatives working against us right now. The program is in bad shape and you have investigations ongoing. Stuff like that all plays into a coaches decision to come. It's less attractive when universities like USC are offering your money especially if they find other attractive benefits for living there. Maybe coaches don't want the added pressure of zero tolerance when it comes to winning. You produce or you get canned as seen 2 years after Orgeron won a NC. We have many great positives but perhaps coaches are seeing negatives canceling those advantages out. We sure have been whiffing a lot on coaches lately and it's not for lack of money we spend.

Shea, Feldman, Miller. Etc who said it was never Riley or insiders who said it was?..
The first group are insiders. The people you are refer to as “insiders” are not insiders. You guys have to get it through your head: these people have been making stuff up from whole cloth all along. They do not have any “sources”, they just tell you what you want so you will give them attention.

There is a good possibility nobody is sniffing LSU and whoever we hire. It’s not his fault people went nuts over message board rumors. There is literally nothing for him to explain. You are mad because you feel like you were duped, it’s understandable. But that is not Scott Woodward’s fault.

So who is right here?
Is this honestly a question? Between Shea and his wife they have more connections and conversations with the right people than any person on this board who was claiming we harpooned a whale and there's a Nantucket sleigh ride. Honestly. At this point how can you doubt Shea? One of these trolls was on here this morning doubling down saying Riley was still in play. How can you still be wondering if they were right?

I will never doubt Shea again. If he says it was never Riley, then it never was.. he doesn’t know the name.

Is still think they even if we went for Reily and lost, it is a win in the long run.

I’m not even saying that USC beat us to Riley. Maybe there is someone under the radar. That doesn’t matter. The narrative is USC beat us. That wasn’t because of message board fabrication. It was coming from all over.

Then why not stay at OU? It’s simple he wanted no part of the SEC and he’s publicly said so. We did miss; but it’s not bc he went to a better job. He ran away from the SEC. It’s obvious. I would say OU is a better job then USC. So why leave? What’s the common denominator. The fact that both LSU & OU will be in the SEC.

why would you have all this leaked to the top boosters and anyone connected to the program he was the guy then lose him?
Who besides a hunch of "insiders"on TD? Isnt it just as feasible someone with clout heard Riley somewhere, spread it and it became an inferno of speculation. All week national CF insiders consistently said it wasn't gonna be Riley. Were they wrong or our insiders who are always wrong?

Maybe LSU is not valued as a job like this board thinks
We don't write all those national articles where we are consistently listed as a top 5 job, sometimes in the top 2-3. National writers do that so don't blame LSU fans for having the same thoughts everyone else does.
Riley made the mistake if he truly was offered by us. USC isn't a top 10 job even with all the advantages, as long as 2 things remain intact. One, their admins aren't interested in being great at sports and will handcuff whomever is there. Two, the communist political policies ravaging the city and state. These vaccine mandates will factor at some point all across the board including sports

No it wasn't. It began with the bullshite on this message board. Got picked up by the local talk shows, podcasts, and blogs - hell Josh Pate mentioned TBL on his show. National media and people like Shea were not the smoke.

It’s a narrative because idiots believed message board BS not because anything Woodward and LSU did.

I think it’s far more prudent to keep your mouth shut and not put any potential hire at risk than to say something to save face and make TD posters feel like they didn’t “lose” a coaching search that hasn’t even concluded yet.
ETA what do you want him to say that will make you quit melting?
