Because Woodward can play hardball with somebody who isn't really on anyone's list and force them to say yes by Wednesday. Think coordinators, the less sexy G5 coaches like Bill Clark, or Stoops.

And if they aren’t scrambling then why worry about PR?

Have you not been reading anything said at all today? If things are going to plan, Woodward let a rumor about a coach we're not getting who is way more exciting than anyone we could possibly get run wild and he needs to send something out there to calm things down.

I think JV was being honest in his assessment.

That's irrelevant. The only reason to trot Justin Vincent out to the local media is to calm things down. Especially when it's a no details vote of confidence in the hire.

There are plenty of more exciting and better coaches out there than Riley who doesn’t even have the balls to play with the big boys.

Damn you are plum stupid. Getting those guys would be worse than all the shite going on right now. Scrambling for a 2nd rate hire will do more harm than anything has in the past few days. Stop being clueless and have common sense. If you think they are running around in a 3 day span saying, "Do you want to be LSU's coach...no, okay", to multiple mediocre coaches, you're a fool.

They have their guy, probably have had him for a while, and are announcing him in a couple days. I think they believed that they wouldn't have had to make an announcement immediately. Riley announcing his move to USC merely half a day after the last game of the season was surprising to everybody outside of his circle. The uproar from this probably caused them to do some damage control to calm the crazy asses down.
