Fake news.

If it's Franklin, I can live with that. Him or Aranda would be Woodward type hires IMO.

I think he said he has his “white male” and they were confused because that would be against the rules

It means someone who Woodward has been after for some time. The new OC at Penn State was Franklin's "white whale".

Shiyit. I would take lincoln riley in a heartbeat. I just dont think thats who woodward is targeting. I dont think riley would leave ou either, especially with them being only a short time away from competing in the sec. Have you seen that young stud freshman qb he has up there running his offense, caleb williams? Theyre set up for a few years with him and the other talent they have.

Woody knows that he can throw the bank at Lincoln Riley and odds are he can sit back and watch his machine run. The LSU Athletic Department as a whole would be pretty stocked with top tier coaching and set for quite some time with the youth injection. Woody adds to his legendary status and everyone in LA adores him forever and ever amen.

People keep saying this but that's a simple minded point of view.

OU has compete with several other schools for the top kids in Texas. At LSU, Riley would have access to wealth of talented skill position players from Louisiana. Just look at what the state produces in terms of WRs & RBs.

Secondly, Riley would have better access & more depth on the defensive side of the ball something he currently has been unable to do at OU. That in itself is the biggest reason why OU is usually one & done in the CFP.

He can still pull in the type of QBs to run his offensive system at LSU just off his name alone.

The lack of talent & depth on defense will be magnified once Oklahoma enters the SEC.

Oklahoma has always recruited nationally and theyre very good at it. They land top classes loaded with talent and have for a long time. They are one of the top national brands in college football without question. Theyve been competing for and winning national titles for a long time too. Its not narrow minded to think riley is happy as head coach at OU, which is a top job in the nation, like it or not. Theyre a blue blood program and they have money, facilities, fan support, etc to compete with anyone. Sure, their defenses have been lacking in the past, but i believe its due to the type of ball thats played in the big 12 and them recruiting to a scheme to stop the pass heavy schemes they play in conference. That doesnt mean that frickin OU cant get ballers on defense, lol. They recruit very well and sure they recruit texas hard, but they have always recruited texas hard as well as nationally and havent had a problem going head to head with anyone in that regard. I dont see that magically changing all of a sudden. Texas has enough top notch players to go around regardless, which is why LSU recruits texas extremely hard as well. Not that OU (or LSU) picks up kids bc the others are already taken by texas schools, bc thats not the case. They (and LSU) out-recruit texas and AnM for recruits all the time. Theyre pretty much like a texas school with the heavy fan representation and alumni base they have there (especially in the DFW area). I would bet that riley aint leaving OU...for anyplace. Unless he gets some outrageous, mega- offer (which is what it would take to even possibly outbid oklahoma for him) or if he gets a shot in the nfl somewhere. I hope im wrong bc i would love riley at lsu, hell yeah, but i highly doubt it.
