Whatever happened between LSU and Riley wasn’t a complete fabrication. Influential boosters and others around the university expected him to be the program’s next leader. After all, how could he turn down a chance to be college football's highest-paid coach?

If he was the #1 target and turned us down, woof.

I agree with him. Something did happen, but ultimately Woodward and LSU failed.

LSU is great at fumbling at the one yard line when it comes to coaches. Doesn’t matter who the AD is

Riley sounds like a big flirt.

He has flirted with the eagles amd cowboys over the last couple coaching cycles.

He def flirted with lsu. Guy just sounds like a bitch.

What the frick is it with this program? How many times have we "thought we had our guy" only to be left at the altar. Jimbo, Herman, Freeman, Riley. The fricking decision makers and boosters get played and used as leverage like nothing I've ever seen before.

They deserve Mark Stoops

To be fair, nowhere does that say Woodward or athletic dept officials expected Riley to say yes. Basically it’s saying that the boards insiders weren’t lying, there was smoke from their sources, i.e. boosters and others tangentially connected to the team.

But Delly is tight with the actual athletic dept, and to me that article reads like from his sources (Woodward and verge) it was never really that close.

Ok. It doesn’t mean crap.

Woodward knows what he’s doing. People need to stop freaking out.

He’s not Alleva, Dean, or any other idiot we’ve had running the athletic program.

We’re gonna be in good shape…trust the process.

If Woodward shot his wad on Riley and completely missed on Aranda, who would've come back to LSU in a heartbeat, then he's a pretty crappy AD in all honesty.

I want to reiterate the fact that this a-hole went to Oklahoma to break the news Riley would never be coach at LSU lmao

Just like Herman and Jimbo, Riley will regret this decision. OU will be like aTm when they join the SEC.

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.

The big question … is Aranda and/or Napier in hand as a credible backup?

Or did Scott get caught with his dick in his hand?

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.
