He says it was a done deal on Thursday but LSU announced a search committee on Friday which is still short a member.

LSU doesn’t have a president or AD, there’s no way they made a hire this fast unless it’s a huge name

Would also have to be a huge name that absolutely hates his current job/absolutely loves LSU.

So you’re hinting at Saban as done deal.

Only throw off that makes sense since he confirmed this part would be Saban, but I don't think he loves LSU lol

I do think he might hate college gameday

Wouldn't make sense for the fans part, but that could've been part of him hiding it

(none of this is true)

For all the talk about Kelly not being the right cultural fit, how are we even discussing a 66 year old Mormon who's been at Utah since 1994?

Yeah, he’s hinting at Saban as done deal.

They wouldn't name a committee if there were already someone hired, that's just dumb.

Absolutely agree, this is bogus

But, I do like a good riddle so I was being realistic and trying to narrow it down.

Pretty clearly seems to be hinting at Saban, but if the hire was made Thursday, why make a search committee?

Until the ink is dry, you need a committee.

Especially when the committee isn't even fully "staffed" yet.

I doubt there has really been anything more than preliminary conversations at this point.

He claims this person is out of left field. I don’t think Saban is out of left field because literally everyone in the media said that he should be our first call just to make him say no

If it was Saban, they absolutely could come to terms pretty darn fast I’d imagine. I don’t doubt he was the first call, and if the answer is yes the search is done In 2 days.

And Saban wouldnt want to be a distraction to the current LSU team/season/coaches/players

No reason to name a committee if it's a done deal. And that poster also said it would be announced after the season in respect to the school and fans of his current team.

He got too deep in this thing and contradicted himself.

I agree with the other poster above… believe it when I see it… but I do like a good riddle.

And whether this guy knows anything or not (probably not)… I’m changing my pick of who he’s teasing us with here is Saban

There’s no way Whittingham could have been a done deal last week. There’s only one person that could have been a done deal last week.

The name isn't out of left field, but it would be pretty shocking if he accepted it. I'd consider him an out of left field candidate just because of how surreal it would be
