Why does everyone think LSU missed?

We haven’t announced a hire yet. Riley is starting to seem like he was never even on the table outside of a couple initial conversations weeks ago. People close to the program have said this decision is tight lipped and 3-4 people in the AD know and that is it. That has been said from the beginning of this search.

People are getting hired left and right and I’m not sure why everyone thinks LSU is just getting played. We “lost” Riley who was never coming here and was never offered. That is it. All the other coaches (Tucker, Aranda, Fisher, Franklin, etc.) we’re all names thrown out here but that is it. This entire thing has been speculation on all sides so I don’t understand the melt.

I’m not sure why the sky is falling. Y’all need to get a grip and just wait.
