No insider has iron clad info with a staff that’s 2 days old. Guys with mics shouldn’t equate to automatic belief.

And how credible is this source.
Perhaps it came from a binder?

It was reported Baker had interviewed / was interviewing for the Tulane job. I think that has more to do with it than Frank

Always love how all these rumors are never stated outright by posters

Logically, could it stem from all the smoke that blew up in the last 48 hours around Baker being a favorite for the Tulane job and they want to see who the new DC would be if that happens?

This seems like a rational explanation. I don't think Wilson is a particularly effective coach, but it seems insane to me he'd jeopardize his job, which pays him $1 million a year for some misguided power move. I have a hard time believing anybody else is going to pay him that for what he does.

Sir, Shea Dixon also reported it. You can dislike Ruffino, but when Shea posts something, its pretty much Church. That guy has a legit media role, so he's responsible for anything he says and has to have proof. He cant just say "I heard".

I’m not sure if it’s as dramatic a situation as people are making it out to be, but Moscona did say that Frank wants an on-field position, but kiffin hasn’t guaranteed him one yet.

I like how all of the insiders that called every step of the Lane Kiffin to LSU saga insist Frank Wilson is poisoning the well, but the same idiots refuse to believe them .

Frank historically has always some uncanny mystical power over recruits. First, I just thought it was results of a silver tongue. Then I thought for sure it was that he expertly, but secretly organized bagmen to recruits, coaches, mentors or parents. But with NIL now, I gotta link it back to the superior relationship building.

When Wilson was with Lane at Tenn., Jarvis Landry, Laell Collins and Freak Johnson were all committed as a package to the Vols bc of Frank. When Lane suddenly bolted for USC, Frank parted ways & got hired by LSU. Then Landry, Collins and Johnson jointly switched commitments and became Tigers. Wilson wields some sort of unexplainable sorcery.

I don’t either and it’s people freaking out and looking for a scapegoat. What I can’t wrap my head around is why isn’t it feasible that these kids and their families actually want to know what the coaching situation will be before committing. Like it or not, news flash a lot of these kids will change their minds if their recruiter isn’t going to be coaching anymore at that destination. What no one seems to be able to explain is how it immediately equates to nefarious activity on Franks end other than “paid insiders”.

You don’t think Texas/texas a&m/etc would pay for his services?

not really. He and his "insiders" have been wrong many times. It comes with the job…

What if these defensive recruits.. are waiting because the whole defensive staff may be gone. these guys were committed to playing for Blake Baker. or maybe they heard about this new recruiting budget and they want a bigger piece of the pie. Yall got that money for kiffin what about us.
