Verge deserves his flowers for this. He is showing that he is going to be a really competent AD.

Kelly was Scott’s guy, not Riley

So we landed our AD’s top choice, just not the ones fans wanted

There was WAY too much smoke around Riley last time for him not to have been option 1 imo.

I can't tell if this is a misspelling or a REALLY clever way to refer to "alternative" related to coaching searches.

My guess is it's the former.

Mike Archer was the number one option but at that time we had Spurrier and Shannahan clamoring for the job.

Jimbo was Kellys #1 guy. Thats why he didnt have a buyout clause at A&M when Scott got him under contract there

He just kept throwing money at Kelly when Jimbo finally said No

Kelly was locked up, we let Armstrong use our name for leverage

The Kelly news dropped so fast after Riley was announced it was obvious
