He said that Riley and LSU had plenty of talks, we made an offer at 100/8 and Riley came back with a counter - 13/Yr - which we now know was USC related. Woody even went back to the TAF to clear the 13.


So we offer 12.5 million and year and Riley's counter is for 500K more? OK

Who knows if we are going hard after Kelly?

All the same media that has no real sources.

Lot of CYA from Athletic department today.


People that would be "in the know" were saying it wasn't Riley last week when the smoke started getting thicker. The reality is, we didn't listen.

I don’t think they offered him either. Think about the names that have been linked to LSU. Do people think we offered all of these guys? It’s all just media bullshite. We went through the same stupidity with the baseball hire.

I think his agent leaked contract assumptions to strengthen their position with USC. The USC thing was not a 24 hour affair. It was in the works for days. It had to be.

If that package that USC offered is legit, there would've been no use in offering.

No one is “in the know”. Certainly not a bunch of ex players and high school recruits.

There’s probably 5 or so people in the LSU camp that know what’s going on.

We wanted Riley bad, and whiffed.

Why did we want Riley?

Who said we “wanted Riley”?

All of that crap started here.

We’ll. This didn’t age well.

Riley screws us over at the last minute, then Woodward goes back to the same agent and makes a deal for Kelly. I’m not buying that! Deal has been agreed to for a while.
