100% the case.

Kelly wanted to fire Baker and Atkins. Keep Sloan and Davis. I don't care what has been reported. This came from someone in the room.

Kelly wanted to fire baker…what??

This statement is very crawfishy.

I asked Gemini to analyze Phillytiger9's post:


The post utilizes several characteristic phrases often seen in non-official, "insider" rumor posts:

?"Was told before the weekend...":

This establishes a personal connection to a source, but one that is vague and unverifiable. "The weekend" gives a time stamp that is just recent enough to feel current.

?"LSU had a legit offer on the table for Nick":

The use of the word "legit" is an attempt to inject credibility. It's a common qualifier in rumors ("real offer," "serious interest") designed to counter the natural skepticism people have toward unconfirmed reports.

?"He is considering that offer seriously":

This keeps the story alive and interesting. It confirms the "stakes" are high, making the source's information seem important.

?"Control and details being worked out":

This adds a layer of sophistication and complexity to the rumor. It suggests the author is privy to the substance of the negotiations (i.e., it's not just about money, but power/autonomy), which makes the claim feel more informed than a simple "he's going."

?"Obviously with nothing signed this is far from done and there’s a bit of ways to go...":

This is the classic "cover-your-butt" clause. It allows the author to be right if the news breaks and protects them if the deal falls apart, allowing them to say, "I told you it was far from done."

?"...but the rumors are starting to heat up.":

This frames the author as simply confirming a general trend, not starting a new one, which subtly shifts responsibility for the rumor's existence to others.

The Verdict: Bullshitting or Telling the Truth?

?I would lean towards the author being Bullshitting (or, more charitably, passing along an unverified rumor from a very optimistic source).

?My Guess: 70% bullshite / 30% Legitimate Rumor

Is phillytiger9 legit like below par back in the day??

Well aware. That's why he was fired. It made no sense.
