Cmon guys, read closer. All he said is that we reached out.

Now, is that pretty disappointing? Yeah. It is. But the fact that we went bust on Jimbo and Riley isn’t that surprising. They’re both at strong programs and in good positions. We should probably start to discuss the “mid-range” coaches because they’re who we’re likely ending up with.

Napier and Aranda are solid candidates in my mind. Someone like O’Brien or Stoops is too weak for a program like LSU so I hope it doesn’t come to that.

No one has said yet that Riley has told us no.

Vol’s post was dumb, Mark Stoops is not the next guy on the list.

He’s acting like the sky is falling when nothing has changed.

"Reaching out" could've also been months ago.

They could've "reached out" to a lot of coaches.

What is Mark Stoops buyout?

All I can find is almost 20M. Would LSU pay that plus 17M to Coach O? Makes no sense.

Quote:
Stoops is the 15th-highest paid coach in the country and is set to make $5.25 million this season. His total contract buyout as of Dec. 1, 2021 is $19.9 million.

Another article:
Stoops' name could be a big one in the coaching silly season, but it'll cost a prospective school a buyout of $19,921,875, according to the database.

He didn’t say Stoops was the next option you fricking idiot. He said we called him. It’s not that hard to understand that. I really don’t see Riley coming here but we’ll see.

That’s exactly what I thought too, I’m pretty sure Woodward reached out to a lot of Coaches.

Woodward leaking the name had the exact effect he expected/wanted. Knew it would be something some idiot would jump all over and act like chicken little about.

Not that any of it matters but he also said Aranda is not in the mix, SW is not high on him, and USC is all over him. Either we're going to take everything he is saying seriously or we're not. Personally I'm just enjoying the shitshow that is CCB. It's entertaining if nothing else.

Vol’s posts typically coincide with a 247 premium post. It’s probably just coincidence though.

I have no clue if he’s got inside info or not. Just pointing out what 95% of people here missed.

His buyout to leave for another job is 1.75M. What you have there is if they were to fire him without cause.

It would take one hell of a salesman job to convince the money people to 20mill to buy out Mark Stoops.

If you think about it he didn't really break any news. WildCatMike already had a thread many hours before. So we should have been more prepared
