Kelly’s agent. Represents Franklin, Riley, others. He just negotiated Franklin’s $50m buyout.

That’s the one. Florida grad. He’s now a big time agent. He would have to agree to any reduction in Kelly’s buyout.

We know Jimmy Sexton has a big influence on all these coaching searches. Any word on Armstrong and his influence.

Trace was Tom Herman’s agent who completely played us to get a better deal from Texas

Supposedly, he floated Kelly to Penn State. Maybe something going on in the background.

He also played Riley to LSU to drive up the price of Kelly. Sexton does the same thing with his clients.

Les hired Trace as his agent after LSU fired him.

An actual quote from Les about Trace in an article about it:

quote:

I just think we're talking about broader coverage, a nation to represent," Miles told the newspaper on the hiring of Armstrong. "I enjoy the fact we use guys to do similar things and different things."


We need Leslie on tv at least
