Or maybe… just maybe… this isn’t just about the money. Maybe there’s internal shite going on that we’re not privy to. He may just be ready for a change

His agent has had our number for a while, OU could have matched the initial, Scott got the greenlight to up it, and OU said nah

Says who? None of us knows wtf is going on, be it Riley, Aranda, Kiffen, whoever

OU has plenty of time to respond. And there are still games to be played..


I think OU has been looking for their next coach quietly for a couple weeks now.

I assumed it abundantly clear I was speaking in hypotheticals there? Was that not clear enough for you?

Would agree, but Jimbo to A&M broke around this time and it didn’t matter.


Jimbo also wanted to GTFO of FSU and FSU was never matching A&M.

There’s no “legitimate” info out there. Nobody at ESPN, 247, or anywhere else is reporting on this. This should have no impact on the national media covering CFB.

Jimbo and Herman were other past deals that were done in November.

Legitimate info and ESPN don’t go together.

But I'm truly not sure if OU will be willing to get close.


Someone in an earlier thread made a very astute point. OU is leaving and joining the SEC at a 76 to 80 million price tag. They may not want to get into a bidding war.

There’s too much smoke around Riley. And has been on and off for several weeks. I think the deal is already done tbh.

My stance on these type of things has always been the same. If he wants to coach here, he’s coming regardless of when the news comes out

There is never a good time for a sitting coach to leave his current school or the info leaking out that he is leaving. The leaks only give his current school the opportunity to play on his emotions and pocketbook.

He could entertain those advances to string them along until he leaves or he could give in and back out of any deal that has been made. If it happens, it won’t be the first time in the history of coaching.

I’m just waiting on the next coach to step to the podium, whoever it may be.

Yep. Perfect time for a "leak" if your agent is looking to secure you a big raise though.

Woody doesn’t leak anything to anyone until he knows he has something locked down. If the rumors are true you’ll start seeing national media break the news.

Brody or people like adam Rittenberg, Bruce Feldman, etc
