Preston is a perfect example of a “reporter” that don’t know shite. This thing may not get done, but he’s all but denying talks have even happened by stating this sarcastically about the agent deal.

Nothing I said mentioned anything like that. I presented facts that were relevant to my audience. Never once did I mention anything else. Never once have I hinted at any of that. I very much believed and still believe LSU has been in extensive contact with Riley.

In fact, if you go look at my podcasts, I’ve been on on the Lincoln Riley trail for quite a while.

Unfortunately when non-reputable reports surface with inaccurate information, a lot of people can still believe it. Fact-checking rumors and reports like that is important.

I would appreciate your view but here’s a few cliffs:

As you are likely aware, JBoy cited an anonymous source last week stating LSU had offered Lincoln Riley an 8-year $96 million contract.

- he says he is still confident in his source that LSU has extended an 8-year $96 million offer
- he said his source is someone in coaching circles that is “in the know”
- he said the offer was verbal and there won’t be anything on paper until it’s a done deal
- he said no news surfacing since the offer was reported is not a concern and we would only hear more after OU’s regular season ends
- he did say he would bet on Lincoln Riley being LSU’s next coach if he had to bet

Here’s why.

I know I’m not the only one who’s been harassed by OU fans claiming to have no clue about why anyone would ever leave OU for LSU.

I put an exact time stamp on that if you want the full breakdown.

Here’s the cliffs if you don’t have the time to listen:

The case for why Lincoln *might* want to make that move to LSU.

1. Money.
Scott Woodward might make an offer that OU can match, but won’t. Culture at OU is to not overpay coaches and to make wise fiscal decisions. He *might* want to take the big-time money.

2. Peaked Stock.
With OU coming to the SEC, most expect an extra loss or two a year, meaning his stock my be maxed out and he feels he must cash in at the peak. He *might* feel now is the best time to cash in and this will be the best opportunity that’s gonna come along for a while.

3. Championships.
He may feel he has reached a ceiling at OU where he can’t get the athletes he needs to win a championship. It’s no secret that the last three coaches have won it all at LSU including two average (or worse) coaches. Notably, all three have come since OU’s last and LSU is 2-0 against OU during that stretch.

4. Recruiting.
Lincoln Riley LOVES recruiting, and LSU is Disney World for recruiting. He *might* want to see what he can do with that kind of recruiting base.

Ryan Aber of the Oklahoman talked candidly about Lincoln Riley’s chances of leaving OU for LSU. Surprised me with a bunch of his answers.

Jump to about 1:41 and take a look. I think y’all will enjoy.

I’m trying to get a good feel for who the “fan favorite” for the next head coach at LSU should be.

In high school a year is like an eternity.

I know paywall stories aren’t the most popular thing here, but here’s my story with complete details about their visit and next week’s visit.

Every year I looked at the “NFLSU” and judge how it would fair. I’ve never said more than 5 wins because it’s never had a QB. Well... I legitimately think year’s squad would compete.
