They've spent all this time saying that we're gonna get a mediocre coach. They're too invested now to say anything else.
And it's not just that. Reading posts from our own fanbase about who is a tier 1 hire and who's a tier 2 hire among a bunch of younger coaches, none of whom have done anything significant, is quite frankly hilarious. I'm talking about comparing guys like Napier, Aranda, Kiffin, Tucker, etc. I honestly try to ignore most of it because it's pretty pointless. No one really knows anything, and no one will until after the regular season is over at the earliest. Whoever LSU hires will be applauded by some and thought to be a bad hire by others. And then there will be your normal trolls who will find something bad to say about whoever that person ends up being.
But yeah, there are plenty of people so invested in trolling that they'd never admit LSU didn't make a mediocre hire even if conventional wisdom says they made a good hire. That's what these collections of message boards have become sadly.

It's possible
Every hire is a gamble but he would be a great get.
Ironically coming to the SEC makes OU wealthier but arguably a less competitive place to easily win than schools like Florida, Alabama, Georgia, or LSU with more regional access to recruits.
Boosters meddling with player decisions supposedly is also a big variable that may be poorly controlled at OU (like Texas)

I don't believe any of these rumors until it's formally announced.
Based on some of the other coaching searches, it seems Woodward keeps his searches close to the vest and the media just starts making up stuff in the vacuum that remains.

"Anybody who says Riley wouldn't be a homerun hire is full of shite."
Loses a couple of low level B12 games a year.
Doesnt GAF about defense (2017-57th, 2018-95th, 2019-67th, 2020-34th)
Has done nothing to elevate OU's program from where it was under Stoops
In 4 NFL drafts he has produced ONE 1st rounder on D
Has a 1-3 record in bowl games
Has a 0-3 record in the CFBP

I mean outside obvious hires like Kirby to UGA, this is pretty much always true for major programs in coaching searches. The guy who ends up being hired, so many times, is a guy that hasn't even been heavily discussed (or not at all) throughout the process. And what people seem not to understand or choose not to acknowledge is these ADs are putting feelers out through agents to a bunch of different guys to gauge interest before real discussions even happen, but it has seemingly turned into every time a rumor on twitter comes out that whoever that coach is was offered and turned down a job. This happens every single year somewhere.

Sounds like the stuff is coming from OU's side and not Woodward. Again though, this is all rumors and speculation and I won't believe anything until there is an official announcement.

you're basically restating the same stat twice here. His three bowl losses have all been in the CFP. Do you know how many active head coaches have wins in the playoffs? Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney, Ed Orgeron, Jimbo Fisher, and Kirby Smart. So does any coach outside that group not warrant a home run hire?

Bob Stoops only made the playoffs once in three years. He also finished in the top 4 of the final regular season poll just twice since 2008. Maybe Riley hasn't elevated OU, but he certainly has sustained an elite level of play in the 5 years he's been there. LSU could do A LOT worse

care to list the couple of games he loses every year? He's lost one regular season game each year in 2017, 2018, 2019, and this year. He lost 2 last year. The rest of his losses have been in the CFP

I guess if Alabama hired him, I'd make myself believe I was happy about it. But, I wouldn't be rooting for him to get hired before it happened. He's basically Kiffen without the funny tweets. His teams will be good enough to beat anyone on a given day, but they won't be consistent.

Fascinating: this board has been eaten up with obsession over LSU’s coaching search, and now it appears a Tiger has everyone’s tongue…

I hope it’s Aranda

Funny that Auburn fans said the same thing during their coaching search. Apparently discussing a topic is "obsessing" over it.

I think the guy is a great QB coach and play caller. Leaves alot to be desired as a HC of a team in a shitty conference. Wouldnt excite me at all if I were a LSU fan
