re: Riley isn’t coming to LSU

LOL !!!! Does anybody know where Lincoln Riley was at on the morning of 10/13/21 ??
It was talking to the LSU AD Scott Woodward. An estimated $10 to $11 million per year deal is the word. LSU’s advantage is the fact that it’s a standalone athletic program. Therefore meaning since they don’t receive any state funding, well than they don’t have to have state government approval on what they pay coaches. There’s only around 5 standalone athletic departments at state run power 5 universities in the entire country !! Riley is maxed out at Oklahoma according to most of the talking heads of the Sport’s News Media Services. He can’t win a national championship at Oklahoma while playing out of the Big 12. What do you think he’s gonna do in the SEC while coaching at Oklahoma ??? All of this Oklahoma is gonna get SEC recruits because of playing in the SEC talk is hilarious. Oklahoma could actually be extremely vulnerable by moving to the SEC. Most recruits in the 11 state footprint of the SEC are typically very loyal to their instate schools, naturally they lose some, but the bulk of them stay put or goes to out of state schools that’s in very close proximity to them. A lot of those players that Oklahoma gets out of Texas, well there’s a good possibility that they start getting less of those players because of the possibility of more of them staying home & going to Texas & Texas A&M at a higher clip than in years past. Oklahoma is honestly on par with Kentucky & Missouri in terms of instate high school talent. Texas has only signed 2 of the last 28 five star players out of the state of Texas over the last decade. That number is certain to go up for Texas, with that being at someone else’s expense. More than likely that will be Oklahoma more so than anyone else !!!
If anyone doubts what I’m saying, well than go google it up from about 2 or 3 years ago when Nick Saban straight up said that the LSU job was even better than what the Alabama job is. Steve Spurrier said the LSU & Georgia jobs are the 2 best jobs in college football. Former NFL & major college position coach Pete Jenkins said the LSU job is the best job in all of football regardless of the level. In a national poll college coaches from across the country voted the LSU job as being the 4th best job in major college football. Forbes Magazine said the LSU football program is the 4th most valuable college football program in the country trailing only #1.Texas, #2. Notre Dame & #3.Tennessee. That’s why the LSU job is considered as being a top 1% job in major college football. The Pittsburgh Steelers pay Super Bowl winning head coach Mike Tomlin $7 million per year. Yet the Riley talk is around $10 to $11 million per year !! Will Lincoln Riley be the next head football coach at LSU ??
I don’t have a clue at this point, but I do know for fact that Riley has talked to LSU, with the number being around $10 to $11 million per year. I also know that James Franklin is out, LSU has also already talked to him too, but LSU left the table very unimpressed with James Franklin. My wife’s boss is a big time LSU booster, trust me, everything I’ve said has actually happened !!

I don’t know why any fan of LSU thinks they are getting all these big named coaches.

Because it is a much better job than a place such as OU. I don’t think anyone thinks he is coming here either. LSU fans did not start that rumor, though some have acknowledged it.

FIFY

OU can pay Riley more than LSU can. It’s a pretty well known fact he’s getting 10 mil a year as soon as he has a playoff win. Until then Riley doesn’t deserve more than 7mil a year. OU has more of an athletic budget and also has richer donors. Not to mention they don’t owe any coaches buyouts.

Why don’t you tell us about your biggest quality win? Oh that’s right...you don’t have any.

Sark's record after his first 7 games is 4-3. Jimbo's record at a&m after his first 7 games was 5-2 (and then he lost the next two games to unranked opponents). And yet Texas is having to spend way less.

You would think it's surprising that a&m's lack of contract negotiation skills is this staggeringly bad, but then again, y'all are aggies. No one has ever accused y'all of being intelligent, and your desperation of having literally never accomplished anything in any sport is what drives your business model

From the outside looking in - I don't know why LSU doesn't just wait out the end of the year, and bring back Dave Aranda. And maybe they will.
