And there you have it. These guys, like most Lousianian’s, can’t keep their mouths shut, and jump at every sound bite.

You think Woodward doesn’t know this? You think he’s that daft to know these guys won’t leak stuff.

Chill. He’s got this under control.

If he didn't know it when he took the job, he definitely learned it when he had to replace Mainieri. The leaks around his replacement were just as bad as they are now. I don't recall when the Johnson leaks started coming out, but he definitely wasn't the first 3-4 names being dropped as "confirmed hires"

Apparently the rest of the country views LSU and Baton Rouge differently from its fan base.

This board, boosters with all the rumors and loose lips just gives other programs a chance to offer their current coach to stay. Fact! But that will just keep going.

I mean you are watching a college reporters tweets. He has no sources he just wants to get a break in his career. Wasn’t he saying 10-13 million a year too. He took a gamble and lost.

I’m hearing F King texted him right after the game and blew it up.

At the end of the day, every AD is just a glorified salesman. Woody was not able to land a guy who he was willing to pay the highest salary in college football. In other words, he failed.

If that wasnt bad enough he also let it leak out. So now every other coach we contact knows they were not our first choice. These coaches all have egos and pride so many will likely just tell Woody to frick off.

Ironically Woodward was brought in to seal the deal with new hires and avoid situations like this.

We know Saban, Dani, Swinney and Fisher are not coming to LSU. Those are the “whales”. Fickel, Aranda, Tucker, Riley aren’t either, so who is SW going to hire? Maybe he isn’t any better than any other AD at hitting the home run hire. He is probably in panic mode now. The recruiting class will start bailing if he doesn’t have someone by signing day. I’m glad y’all have so much faith in SW, I don’t.

Scott better not bring on Mark Stoops!

Last night in the suite, we were all told it was a done deal. Monday was the announcement. We were all asked to make appearances at a reception after.

Stoops name was mentioned as Scott 's back up . We were told mot to worry because we had Riley. One Administration Official was told point blank they better not hire Stoops. Many that wrote checks are extremely pissed off right now.

We all found out Riley bailed on us at the same time last night.

If he brings on Stoops when he could've had Aranda or Napier. Maybe even Kiffin he deserves everything coming to him.

If OU countered, what could LSU’s counter be?

Well Jimbo and Herman haven’t done that well since then anyway. I’m starting to think that hiring a college coach is mostly just a crapshoot.

Found out as in heard his quote from his press conference?

Or found out because Woody also got a no from Riley's agent or Riley himself?

What makes you think that’s changed besides a denial on zoom after a tough loss?
