I keep reading how LSU is a top coaching destination but I’m not so sure. The position was declined by several coaches, maybe indirectly by extending their own deals. Even Aranda stayed. I think we were all in on Riley and got caught by surprise. If Brian Kelly doesn’t come here where would LSU be this week? It’s hard to get a top tier coach when you fire a coach 2yrs removed from a championship. These guys are looking for stability as much as a shot at a Championship. When you have the money LSU is willing to throw at a coach anything is possible. I just don’t get the impression coaches were beating down our door.
And, I’m very excited Brian Kelly is going to coach LSU. He’s very competent.
Edit: Also reading this morning a Lincoln Riley interview saying he was never offered the position at LSU. I don’t think this is true. He’s trying to save face because he didn’t want Oklahoma to know he was in negotiations prior to their big game. He said USC contacted him Sunday morning and things moved quickly. BS.
