Was Riley offered or not is the key question

If not, then a good candidate likely awaits. If he was, then LSU is likely scrambling and compromising with a lower tier guy.

And I’m not sure there’s clear evidence either way.

We’ll probably know when the hire is announced.

ETA: Someone like Stoops / O’Brien cannot be passed off as option #1. No matter how hard anyone tries.

Fickell, Aranda, Rhule, Campbell, Meyer? I would buy one of those guys being locked up early.

The Fickell hire will tell you No.

The Aranda hire would tell you Yes.

I know shea has said that there really wasn’t a ton of legs to the LR stuff outside of some contact and interest but no offer.

Almost certainly he was. My guess is Woodward was as caught off-guard at the Lincoln to USC as we were.

I have to believe woodward was telling our recruits and players it was riley.

Why were they all following riley all of a sudden?

Because there’s no incentive for LSU to leak that to the media

Except all the noise and hoopla was coming from this very board. Not a single reputable media source independently verified LSU’s interest. They pointed to this board as the source.

My guess was that Woodward reached out and Riley made it clear he had no interest. We found out today he didn’t want to coach in the sec so I’m sure he shut down Woodward pretty quickly

Right... and Jay Johnson & Will Wade the day of Bedlam? Only way I buy he wasn’t offered is if LSU announces an absolute home run within the next 7 days.

Tigerdroppings. If a single recruit ever found out, all of them would find out. I don’t think recruits knew anything (Even if we did offer)

If he’s scared of the SEC like it’s being portrayed by all of the talking heads then he was likely upfront about it or hinted to it and the conversation with Woodward probably ended there. NO WAY Woodward would bring in someone that even hints they are up for playing big boy football.

Which it’s all shaping up to be just that. LR wants no part in the daily grind of the SEC. He wants to shine in his small conference and have an easy path to playoffs every year.

LSU doesn’t need someone like that! Despite the fact that he would have crushed it here if he had a set of pecans between his legs

If this happened a month ago then still hope LSU lands a good hire.

They may have heard the buzz from the Rant. Doubt Woodward would tell recruits unless it was final.
