I can find no evidence that Bob Lamonte is Riley's agent and the only one who reported that Bob Lamonte is talking to LSU is Lonn who is as disreputable as they come. Lamonte isn't like Sexton who represents everybody. A few NFL guys and a handful of smaller time college coaches.

Lamont is a big time agent, but his focus is primarily NFL guys. That’s why he isn’t as well known because NFL searches aren’t the circus that college jobs are with coaches jumping from one team to another.

Bob Stoops had Lamont as his agent, and that’s why I assumed Lincoln chose him. I don’t know if Lamont still represents Lincoln, but he absolutely did as recently as a few months ago.

Neither can I. Tried a number of Boolean searches with some combination of "lincoln riley agent bob lamonte" and the only hit was this article from earlier this year with some ambiguous wording
LINK

quote:
“Of course, making it happen with Riley is another matter. He is making $6.5 million and has a record of 44-8 over four seasons in Norman.”

Some are wondering whether Philly did this without a plan. I say that's not an issue. Roseman is a very bright person. And his agent Bob LaMonte is a very powerful person. In one motion, Roseman can hire Brian Daboll, the touted Bills offensive coordinator, and put him in charge ... without ever having to mention that the marriage may have been pre-arranged, for, you see, Bob LaMonte is also the agent for Daboll.

Makes it sound like Lamonte could be Riley's agent with the placement of the word "his."

However, here's a separate piece confirming that LaMonte is in fact Eagles VP Howie Roseman's agent, not LR's LINK

quote:
Philly brass might think Daboll can fix Carson Wentz if hired. Here is another fun fact: Daboll also shares the same agent (Bob LaMonte) as Howie Roseman, the Executive Vice President of the Eagles.

Lookup for the reports when Philly Eagles & Cowboys were flirting with him... local Dallas sites had reported that Lamonte represents Daboll and Riley so he (Lamonte) represented two of the top candidates for both Philly and Dallas.

This was in Jan of this year however.

Lamonte is/was also Stoop's, both of them, agent.

PSR (Lamonte's firm) focuses on coaches and executives (e.g. GM's) primarily in the NFL. Less on players. But a "handful" is a huge understatement.

- In addition to Lamonte (or Armstrong??) keep an eye on Bennett Speyer.
