It’s not. It’s in the 6-7m range. It’s not 10m

It is. It’s all BS. It’s stupid BS as well
The only thing, and it’s a standard thing every school does, is OU is looking into the texts and emails of the staff, to make sure there was no deal with USC during the bye week. Similar to most coaches, there’s a clause in the contact that states if you or your agent is approached by another school, you have to let your current one know.
Most get around this by having the agent speak to someone who is speaking on behalf of the school. So nothing will come of that either, except maybe Roy manning if he was dumb enough to use his university phone to talk to USC recruits.

I still don't understand why people are falling for that.
I said way back (wednesday on here) that there interest, but from the get go, the expectation was it wasn't real interest, and just using OU for a bigger raise.
His agent did reach out and I'm sure Joe talked to the agent, but I'm sure he quickly realized what was going on.

Of course, because Lanning is being interviewed tonight.
I can assure you though, John Hoover will not be breaking the hire. I'm sure y'all have writers just like him, but he just grabs whatever everyone else posts and uses that. I'm not sure he even says "sources" anymore since he doesn't have any.

They don't, and have said as much. They didn't know Lincoln was leaving for USC until twitter told them. They read things online just like everyone else. As soon as they find out, everyone knows, because when you tell 80+ players, one of them at least will tell someone else, who tells someone else, etc.

Slow your roll.

re: Celebrity Bobby Bones tweet about OU

Bobby is literally a message board type poster.
His wife's sister's husband is the son of OU softball coach, Patty Gasso.
So he's literally the dude that goes "According to my wife's sister's husband's mother, OU is making a big hire"

That's what Football Scoop posted. I assume they got that from his agent. I would assume Aranda is at least interested if he's interviewing. Originally, there were questions if he would want to jump to OU. He enjoys Baylor.
Part of the issue is, OU wants the next coach to keep a lot of the OU guys that are on staff. Not sure a guy like Aranda will agree to that.

The reality is, none of the insiders know, because Joe C's circle is extremely small, after he had his list of candidates. The president, Joe C, and the chair of the BORs are the only ones that know, besides the candidates themselves.
Joe C actually leaked the Matt Rhule stuff, and everyone ran with it, and he found out who was leaking things with that.
I said from the beginning there was interest from Dabo with OU, but I never could find out if it was actual interest, or him helping himself in negotiations.
Unfortunately, with interviews, I'll never find out until it's over, since I don't have connections with agents, just with OUs AD, which won't know until it leaks. I just know there was interest. After Dabo, Fickell was next, but I doubt they'll go for him with him in the CFP. They'll move to Aranda, Brent, and Lanning after that.
Brent already has said he'd take the job, so that's their floor.

Everyone is reaching now, because Joe C leaked Matt Rhule, and they all ran with it, which showed who couldn't keep a secret. So nobody has heard anything since the beginning, because only Joe C knows. It's assumed he's keeping the president and the BOR chair updated, but those are the only two he's talking with on actual candidates.
So since nothing is getting leaked, everyone is making up rumors.
As I posted way back, Dabo was a candidate. His agent reached out to let them know he was interested, but OU didn't know if it was legit or being done for a raise. Because it's all quiet, I have no clue what the update is from the list back in the post below.

On the contrary. They are prepping the big announcement. I haven't gotten confirmation that they landed Dabo yet, but they are in talks. I was told they’re trying to upstage the big 12 title game with this announcement as a big middle finger to the conference and Ok State
re: So OUIcomeinpeace was riley’s agent all along
Posted by OUFanInPeace on 12/1/21 at 11:09 pm to TutHillTiger
Definitely not. I actually was led to believe he wasn’t using trace and was using a lesser known agent at Athletes first, and Trace only got involved if there was a need (never was). Apparently that wasn’t true either.
My stuff came from the OU side, hence why my recent posts have been what’s going on inside the OU AD. OU had no clue about USC. They’re actually fairly pissed as well, because Lincoln Riley was out in LA during the bye week for recruiting, and they now are wondering he was house hunting, because he was out there several days.

re: Dabo and Venables Were In Norman
Posted by OUFanInPeace on 12/1/21 at 8:04 pm to MarioBrothers
This.
As I posted in a different thread, they'd plan to offer 12m+ a year for him. They are trying to interview him though and reached out to his agent to gauge interest, and were told there is some. They are worried though he's just using them for a raise at Clemson.
Either way, expect OU's process to get drawn out some unless Dabo just says yes quickly, which isn't expected. Joe C is in Norman for the honoring of Lon Kruger's at the OU Florida basketball game. So clearly nothing is happening tonight nor was it expected.

re: Again, go snag Lebby.
Posted by OUFanInPeace on 12/1/21 at 7:56 pm to dallastiger55
That would be the expectation if the fall back with Brent.
Lebby has been signed off as being ok from the administration. There were concerns because his father-in-law is Art Briles, and Art Briles isn't welcomed in Norman, but Admin is ok and willing to pay for Lebby should they go with Brent.

No. Plan is to talk to Fickell after the game. Should Cincinnati make the playoffs, if Dabo says no, and Fickell wants it, they'd offer him the job. He'd go and recruit for OU and have to work out with Cincinnati whether or not they'll let him coach the CFP.
Of course, I'm not sure Fickell leaves for OU anyways. I just know he's 2nd on OUs list, behind Dabo.

Dabo was looking at a local softball team for his non-existent daughter.

He wasn't. He was in Bama, recruiting for Clemson.
If it was Brent, it would have been announced already.
Joe is working on Dabo, and plans to talk to Fickell if Dabo says no.
