I don't know if Philly is legit or not, but lean towards him just playing the rest of us.

As of right now, he's just about all we have.

However, the way his OP in this thread is worded does seem suspicious to me. Doesn't carry near as much weight as his previous ones did in my mind.

Just to play devil's advocate...

Until an offer is accepted he can't say anything definitive

No way anyone on that staff is leaking this info if it's true. Try again!

I want to believe. I really truly genuinely do want to believe him. I acknowledge that he was right about the BK stuff before it was public, and he may well have a connection or two, but this particular post just seemed a little too vague and worded in a way that sort of gave vibes of someone taking their notoriety and pushing it a bit.

quote:

What I know as of now:

Was told before the weekend LSU had a legit offer on the table for Nick

He is considering that offer seriously

Control and details being worked out

Obviously with nothing signed this is far from done and there’s a bit of ways to go but the rumors are starting to heat up.



He's giving himself the out by saying this is far from done and there's a bit of ways to go, and even mentions that the "rumors" are heating up. Problem in my mind here is that HE'S THE ONE POSTING THE RUMORS. So is he hearing inside information or is he hearing rumors and simply passing on rumors?

I don't know man, I sincerely look forward to Philly's updates but this particular one sort of deflated my balloon a little bit. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

We will see who is named LSU President.

If Dalton, the rumors kick up a notch or 2,000.

Where did the rumor that Saban would demand Dalton come from? Was that reported by Philly or is this simply speculation among the fan base?

Christmas Day

And I also thought of that. It'd be so poetic if he actually does come back and it's announced on Christmas Day. With snowflakes falling across the area since that's what was happening the day he broke up with us

Unfortunately I have to call BS on this. I reached out to my guy last night bc usually where there’s smoke there’s fire. He confirmed Kelly getting fired when I saw Philly’s post last Sunday. He doesn’t know anything about us negotiating with Saban. He’s either lying to me (which is possible) or this is BS.

Is this the person from Alabama that apparently Nick Saban has closed ties to and wants this individual in place? In other words is this a signal of what is about to come?


Yes

So your guy confirmed Philly’s statement last week, then said he doesn’t know about Saban and that’s making you call BS? That makes literally no sense, other than your source simply doesn’t know one way or the other.

And this is coming from a guy that thinks that there is no way Saban is actually interested in coming back. I think we made an offer, Sexton is using that to get his people pay days, and there’s not actual mutual interest from Saban.

I said this last night — why use Nick Saban as the smoke? I get using smoke from another coach to eventually lead to Saban, but having the greatest coach of all time as the smokescreen just doesn’t make any sense.
