Most of speculations, reports, sources, etc say Riley is the number 1 target. I am here to say that is true. But you already kind of knew that.


Like Mike Bianco and Tim Corbin and whoever else. Just stop

What you quoted does not mean this:

They own Riley, per his contract extension.


It’s not an exclusive license. As someone pointed out, it’s mainly there to make clear that OU doesn’t owe him royalties during or after his time at OU for using his image and likeness.

I’m not understanding what posters itt want. Do y’all expect Riley to publicly accept the offer midseason?

lol y’all are idiots. He could’ve accepted already for what we know or declined.

Either way, we wouldn’t know

So, Riley has to accept this offer soon even though his team may be in the playoffs?

Doubtful.


EXACTLY.

LSU has ZERO leverage in any supposed negotiations with him. NONE! LSU needs a HC. Riley doesn't need LSU. If I were him I would flat out fricking laugh at Woodward if he gave me some sort of ultimatum with at least 5 weeks left in the season.

And he sure as hell would not accept a new job offer while his current school has an opportunity to make the playoffs. Moreover, with the current success of Kingsbury and Arizona, you can bet there will be a few NFL teams who are considering Riley.

Either the OP's source is horribly misinformed or exaggerating, or LSU really isn't serious in trying to get Riley.

It most certainly wouldn’t be presented as an “ultimatum”

I’m sure Riley knows better than anyone why LSU would need an answer before a certain date

If he’s asking for an answer by a certain date it’s not bc he has leverage it’s because we need to know if we need to move on to other targets. It’s really not that hard people.

This thread has aged well. "You dont know shite!" Followed closely by TBL (known legit) saying, pretty much same info here. fricking tools. Look back at his post history (77s), he obviously gets SOME info from SOMEWHERE.

I appreciate any info I can get from someone that has proven he gets info. Thanks 77, and TBL.

Explain to me how Franklin and Napier are candidates but not Kiffin or Aranda? Makes no sense to me and doesn't paint a great picture of this search.


It feels like exclusively a Riley/Napier contest. That's not much of a search IMO.


Fickell is hardly a reasonable get.

Ultimatums usually mean the guy making them loses.

Because if true, the guy conducting the search ranks Franklin and Napier higher than Kiffin or Aranda. Your 2nd sentence is an opinion, and though we all have them and our preferences I’ll trust Woody over you considering the quality of his past hires at 3 institutions.

If Woodward is convinced Riley is the best then it is asinine for him to demand an answer quickly and rush the hire by moving quickly to his second choice.


It’s a terrible way of doing business. These aren’t out of work coaches. Lincoln has his team headed towards the playoff. Expecting him to take his focus off of that and negotiate a deal with LSU in the middle of the season is ridiculous.

Not only that, I wouldn’t trust any deal that’s struck during a season. There’s too many variables. What if OU runs the table and wins the championship somehow? He’s not going to want to leave after that. Then you’re stuck with either a broken verbal contract or a written contract that Riley is trying to get out of, which brings bad media attention.

Which is why I didn’t care for being concerned with “getting a head start” on the coaching search. Aside from a long time with a lame duck coach, you can only really gauge interest of candidates and then sit in a holding pattern until the season is over.

OU ain’t making the playoff. They will lose to Baylor, Iowa State, or Ok St.

OU is well known to have the best AD in the business... why in the world would LR jump that ship for an unknown?

I don’t think so.

I’m not saying who I think it is because the board gets mad.
