TBL, this part is odd to me. Did our people still expect an announcement on Monday had OU won and was going Big 12 championship game? With an outside shot a that the playoffs on the table? That seems ridiculous to me. I assume this was during our game which meant the OU game was not complete.

Don't fire your coach midwY during the season or don't let it out that you are parting ways in mid October. It gives the other party time to put together solid offers as well.

What???? You think places like Oklahoma don't have equally as deep pockets?

Scott better not bring on Mark Stoops!

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.

Stoops will be on his 5th OC by the time he finally gets canned.

That sounds like bullshite. Why would people be that worried about a second choice? You should go from loving the first choice to really liking the second choice, not worried about the second choice.

Everything here is false. A coach is already in place. And has been.

Yep backed out…hello darkness my old friend. It’s Jimbo and Herman all over again. Thought Woodward would succeed where Alleva failed. This is the worst. Can’t help but laugh though.

Why would be get canned?

He finally found a decent oc this year.

8 and 9 wins at kentucky will have him with a job for life.

Not saying i want stoops cause i don't. That's crazy if that is his backup.

Hire Aranda and the pain will go away. Not overly pained about not getting Riley, have pain that we can end up with a third tier guy instead of a guy like Aranda

Napier and Aranda are the best hires for LSU. Reily is a home run, just not sure he is LSU material with the lack of defense.

I think it’s clear that Riley wants the NFL. If he really doesn’t enjoy recruiting it makes sense.
