The same thing is true with floating Casey. Woodward knew that the fanbase would hate it after their reaction to Heimlich pitching in 2018.


Wait a minute. We have LSU fans that seriously think floating Casey was another 4D chess smokescreen instead of an obviously naive tone-deaf flirtation that turned out exactly as one would expect it would?

How are you still questioning that no one in the media knows what's really going on?



The media certainly doesn't have all the answers to the puzzle and that's hardly unique to LSU. They are only as good as their sources. We are probably never going to find out all the coaches that Woodward has talked to, directly or indirectly. The nature of any big time coach search is that both parties are cagey. All part of the dance.

But I would bet the e-lives of everyone here that LSU did indeed seriously engage O'Sullivan, Casey and Bianco. Way too much smoke there. This "smokescreen" garbage is just a fiction of certain sports talk jocks and their ilk on the Tiger Rant. It's laughable to think LSU, even the sainted Woodward, is that good at manipulating the media. The Title IX mess alone in the last year should make that much clear. Leaks and LSU go hand in hand.

All that said, I still have faith in Woody to make a good hire. Unlike Alleva, he has a spine and is going to do his job and hire the best coach he can get.

I have no idea. The question was asked what would be the point of a smokescreen. Maybe he it was a serious move. Maybe it was just to get a feeling of what the fanbase would think about it.

I'm sure that he did seriously engage with all of them. I think he really wanted Sully. That doesn't mean that it the other two weren't just being done in the mean time until the real candidates were available.

Again, I have no clue what is going on. At one point I thought it was a done deal for Sully. Then I thought it was over 90% for Bianco. Now, there are differing reports from LSU and Ole Miss about what exactly is going on with Bianco. I think that the media is getting a bunch of different info. I wasn't saying that the interviews themselves were any kind of smokescreen.
