Or maybe it did and some dont want to admit that Alleva never planned on hiring anyone other than O.

Speaking of timelines..during O's press conference, he stated he met with Alleva at 730 in the morning. The stickied thread on the ccb stating orgeron new coach per the advocate was posted at 702 am.

Posted link only mentions a "higher up" at LSU. I'd say the LSU HC qualifies.

TLDR: Ed just calling to get the OK to add a name to The Binder.

FWIW...Ruffin Rodrigue was on Ben Love's show in Lafayette yesterday. He said Herman was never offered, LSU only called to gauge interest. Herman's agent (Trace Armstrong) leaked it out that they were close to a deal to force Texas' hand.

Also, he said Coach O was the only interview.

So it's possible there was no contact with Herman at that point and coach O was simply gauging interest in case he got the job.

Orgeron went into his Friday (11/26) meeting with Alleva and in his vaunted binder he had a list of proposed OCs and verbal assurances from them that they would come. If this is true and he were considering Enos it would make sense for him to call on Tuesday to speak with Enos to know whether to include him in his Friday presentation/interview... But just a guess on my part.


Not a bad theory.. kind of like calling your references on your resume before going into a job interview to make sure you have everything lined up

Why would O want to hire Dan Enos?


Because this is a troll post from an arky fan trying to rustle LSU fans. The troll is that we are not worthy of a homerun HC or OC and that we would stoop low enough to hire their 3* OC.

I understand a bunch of the radio guys shilling for him because they get access. I understand the ex-players because they get their access.

Why the frick did the board let this happen? Did they get snowed by all of the radio guys and ex-players? Surely they are smarter than that.

Not trying to troll anyone, in fact quite the opposite. I've been engaged in this coaching search and the coaching changes board since it's been active and have become quite enthralled. You can look through my post history and see that I'm not a troll in the least bit, but if you don't believe me it really doesn't matter.

If you're not realizing yet that 1+1=2, AKA what I'm laying out for you with this thread, then you're in complete denial.

Pretty sure we are not going after Dan Enos brah. Looks like Kiffin is our top target right now.

'member when arkies were on here telling us Gruden was in a secret meeting room at the Powerhouse Grill in Fayetteville? Then you hired Bert. ...and our fanbase is the one in denial
