TBL has posted that Fickell has already told us he wasn’t interested.



That is why I think he is a primary. Everyone is looking at the all the rumor mill stuff and presumably Fickell has crossed his name off the list... that is the stealth everyone is looking for.

Joe Burrow took a chance on coming to LSU and he was a dyed in the wool Ohioan... As Cyndi Lauper once said... "Money Changes Everything"

Fickell is the answer. Do. Not. Want. Riley.

There is a lot of risk with Riley it’s called defensive liability

There’s risk with every hire whether it’s defensive, or offensive liability or mismanagement. If two low IQ guys like Ed and Miles can do it, I’m far less worried about Riley.

Riley, Kiffin, Aranda, and Fickell are available. With $10 million or $11 million out there, I don’t see a problem getting any of these guys.

no.2 Fickell

As of Friday Oct. 22nd 6:20pm CST it’s Not gonna happen. 100% Confirmed.

So Plan A: Riley
Plan B: Tomlin?
Either one would be a homerun hire.

Fickell has been out for some time. Riley isn't leaving OU.

Except it's Woodward doing the hire, which based on his past, we've learned nothing is ever off the table.

LR runs a blue blood P5 program. He's far and away a better choice. I just hope we get him.

Without a doubt Riley. He’s 10 years younger than Fickell and had greater success at a bigger program.

Jimbo wasn't in the playoff hunt when hired.

Mulkey had completed her playoff run when hired.

Johnson had just finished his playoff run when hired.

Woodward cannot afford to wait until January to see if Riley has any interest, or for OU to go stupid insane with money, if LR wins it all.


The timing is simply not right this year. Riley is done.

The only ppl talking about Riley to LSU is the fanboys on this board. He’s not even in the running.

Neither one is coming to LSU. When has LSU ever hired one of the top football coaches? We’ve hired assistant coaches or up and coming coaches. History will repeat because the top candidates will turn down Woodard because they don’t want the job. We will get the 5th choice or higher.

I like these:

1. Fickell
2. Riley
then Kiffin, Franklin, Gundy, Napier

Not sure what to think about these below:

David Shaw
Matt Campbell
Dave Aranda
Joe Brady


Then you might think of these:

Hugh Freeze
Bob Stoops
Tom Herman

Have a filling these below might get more attention then I'd like:

M. Tucker
U. Meyers
B. O’Brien

Who really Knows what Woodward is thinking..

When this whole thing started a close family member (who is pretty connected with LSU) and I were texting. He texted me that he heard O was being fired and Riley was the goal replacement hire. I quickly texted back lol ok and he said that's just what he heard. Idk I would love this hire. Definitely my number 1.


This is basically how I first heard this. I have no sauces. My sis(no pics) lives in Dallas and is married to a Oklahoma alum. His whole family are big Oklahoma peeps. He texted me at work the Wednesday after the UCLA game.Asking me if we were firing O and hiring Riley. I laughed him off and said we'll probably end up with freaking Jimbo.

Anyone who says fickell should get their vote revoked
Luke just had a Billy game Saturday.

Cincinnati almost got beat by Navy so he's out, using the Rantknocker logic. (Just like when U.S.L. almost got beat by Arkansas State Thursday Night, so the Rantknockers disqualified Napier for the LSU job, according to their astute genius logic)

CRTate #1 guy, James Franklin, just got beat by Illinois, so I surmise dat he be out now too.

So we know Woodward has a 1-a and a 1-b list. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out Riley is among the two top picks. But who in the heck is the other? If it's not Fickell, not Aranda, not Brady, not Franklin, not Napier, not Fisher, not Dabo, and not Tucker?


Keep an eye on the Panthers' attempt to trade for Deshaun Watson. If they fail, it could get very interesting.
