Why havent there been leaks of OU coach search… dont you think if they knew, they would start kicking tires?

This is what makes me a little suspect of all the Riley is coming stuff

Otherwise we could see him sign an extension last minute and leave LSU at the alter

SW better have a strong backup coach lined up waiting to say yes and sign in time for signing day

I agree, but the other possibility is that they'd be promoting from within so there is no need for a search.

Right, and all the OkieU fricks are so smugly confident. Something ain't adding up.

Nothing is official until it's official, it's possible that OU is already gauging possible coaches if they think Riley is going to leave

If Riley comes here, it would be the biggest shock in coaching hires history imo

They're still playing meaningful football games.

Well, buckle up. Because there’s a high possibility that Woodward pulls off yet another unbelievable coaching hire. He has lots of those particular pelts on the wall.

If they were still trying to get him to stay, I’d think they’d leak it out for the pressure to be applied by fans, players, etc.

No leaks means he’s told them he’s not leaving for sure, or he’s leaving for sure. My guess would be he’s leaving for sure and they don’t want the distraction for the chance to make a CFP run.

Let’s say it is Riley and it will be announced on 11/28 after Bedlam, the OU AD doesn’t have to start seriously looking right now.

He could at this time be “casually” kicking tires by reaching out to agents under the auspices of just covering his bases given the racket of Riley/LSU rumors.

No agent is going to leak that; it would be detrimental to their reputation and their clients.

Or their search has begun behind the scenes before it becomes public, much like ours did.

Cause they currently don’t have a vacancy?

If Riley has told them he is leaving, they would have fired him and announced why.

He is undoubtedly asking for a raise and probably more for his assistants, etc...

No way OU starts looking if they are still working to sign a new contract with Riley.

Totally agree with this and this is why I believe there is no deal with Riley and probably will not be in my opinion

The truth is right here if you look deep enough. But it's not always what you think it is.

It’s hard to interpret things online sometimes. Were you pointing at your a-hole as you typed that?

You left one scenario out. What if he were staying for sure?

Because Big Game Bob is lurking. No need to look any farther.

ETA: I mean Bob to OU when LSU takes Riley.
