re: I’m confused about the Riley buzz

Dellinger actually said close to the opposite if you read his article closely. Nowhere does he say that athletic department officials or Woodward thought the deal was done, rather “boosters and others with ties to the university.”

In fact delly, who’s sources are almost always verge or maybe even Woodward himself, intimated that as far as his sources were concerned it was never that close.

Compare that to the d coordinator search last year, when dellenger Brody Miller and rabalais were tweeting things were almost done with Freeman and Nielsen and we fumbled. Not a peep from those guys about Riley.

I think there was communication but it never got beyond that stage
