Or did we scramble and take ND’s coach in 36 hours?

No, you don’t lure Kelly from a top job in 36 hrs. He was obviously in woody’s top tier if he didn’t even look at Napier or Aranda.

I think so, I think it was a whole setup between Armstrong, Riley, Woodward and Kelly

One of two or three guys probably.

Jimbo
Riley
Kelly

That’s one hell of a list to pick from.

I can believe it. Moscona (yeah I know) talked about him inquiring into the LSU job weeks ago.

Moscona acted like a spoiled bitch today on the radio because he got it wrong last week

If not "the guy" he was definitely vetted and contacted. I won't believe that Riley left us at the altar and this happened in 24 hours.

Kelly was contacted early on with mutual interest. SW called him with the green light after striking out on Riley. Probably.

You are not scrambling and pulling Kelly out of ND in 36 hours...

My thoughts as well. An amazing feat if they were able to keep that quiet

I think Riley and Jimbo was his top 2, and Kelly was his third choice

Deal was done 2-3 weeks ago … Riley would not be a more attractive candidate to SW than Kelly. ALSO, Riley was not keen on being in the SEC…

maybe in like 30-40 years when it'll all be looked back on as part of history and the story is being told by some intern in SW's office who overheard stuff

A friend pointed out to me that Walker Howard went on a visit to ND in October.

Moscona is always wrong. I started to post that it's a done deal that Riley wasn't coming here because he was gloating about how Riley was coming here on his little youtube show. He's wrong more than he's right even with 50/50 stuff which is impressive. Yet, he's so confident about it. He would make a great salesman.
