It might have been Florida, if Franks had not transferred. Thanks Frank!

He came to LSU and won a national championship and Ed orgeron was his head coach. Sorry if that upsets you.

Anyone who would trade that isnt an LSU fan

Burrow didn't decide to transfer unti after spring ball. That would've been like April 2018 I think.

Pruitt was hired in like Dec 2017 / Jan 2018. Schiano was considered before Pruitt was hired.

bullshite story.

Bill Busch was the one that found, recruited, and convinced O to take him. As usual, O didn’t do shite except recruit him after he was getting swayed to come to LSU

This story makes no sense. Tennessee changed their mind on hiring Schiano in November of 2017 and Burrow didn't decide to leave Ohio St until May of 2018. Sounds suspect to me.

Unless Joe Burrow is lying, it was between Cincy and LSU. Said he wanted to come here for a national championship.

Based onthe time line of those events, it is extremely unlikely. So there! Hahahahahaaaaa

Burrow couldn’t have transferred until he graduated later that May anyway, and Burrow wouldn’t have transferred if he won the starting job in the Spring.

Tennessee probably would have been a favorite if Schiano was hired, but it was never a done deal even if there is some truth to the story. Burrow and Schiano weren’t showing up in Knoxville together.

Sounds like someone's fantasy. Burrow has openly said it was Cinnci and LSU has he not?

But yeah, let's listen to a guy with Sources.

Why do some of you torture yourself with what ifs that didn't happen? Why can't you just enjoy the fact that he did and LSU won a championship?

Try as hard as you possibly can to avoid posting here. You can do it. I believe in you.
