Let's see, and please anyone add to the list.

They wanted Jimbo - he said he's be the dumbest human ever to go to LSU

They wanted Mel Tucker - extension signed

Then they floated Aranda - extension signed

Then on to Riley - he said eff you

Then Napier - he said screw you

Then back to Riley - he again said eff you

Now back to Aranda, and maybe Mark Stoops, or Matt Campbell.


Am I missing anyone?

Didn't Aranda sign an extension with Baylor?

@RobertHefnerV: Lincoln Riley USC contract details (not confirmed; best I could do):
- $110 million
- USC buying both his homes in Norman for $500,000 over asking ($1 million bonus)
- Buying a $6 million home in LA for him
- Unlimited use of the private jet 24/7 for family

If the rumor is true that he is the only one he interviewed. I don't get that, how can you truly know the talent pool unless you converse with them. This hire was very Foley/Butters like if the rumors are true.
Did you have to bring Fooley up?

I thought USC was a private institution, therefore they do not have to divulge such info?????
Doesn't mean their agent wont, as leverage against the others. He has now landed several 100 mil contracts. it is the new norm.

Not that I'm a fan of the Bleacher Report. I'm starting to believe this is fake news.



Already saw the comments about this being a fake account…. Wasn’t he fired from OK before he landed at climpson? That would be a bit of an awkward return, right?

I thought he was basically bought away, much bigger contract?

I like most of those details. The sticking point may be the 6 million new home allowance. I think he's going to be surprised at what that gets him in LA right now. Though french doors might really open that place up.

I think he was a co DC with Mike Stoops but left for Clemson I guess to not have a co title, while Josh Heupel was canned by Bob himself.

He sends you a menu, this coach costs X million, that coach coasts Y million etc.

Is the menu ala carte? For example, I like this coach that costs $7.6m but I only want him to take two weeks vacation per year instead of 12 weeks, how much extra does that cost me? Or, this coach is $8m but my budget is only $7.6m. If I leave off the side order of recruiting, does that reduce the cost by $400k?

No, no, no.

You hire them and then they vacation as much as they want.

Maybe fired is the wrong word. I think Bob “suggested” venebles go find another team and climpson was interested. But the OK D wasn’t looking so hot leading up to his departure.

Let's see, and please anyone add to the list.

They wanted Jimbo - he said he's be the dumbest human ever to go to LSU

They wanted Mel Tucker - extension signed

Then they floated Aranda - extension signed

Then on to Riley - he said eff you

Then Napier - he said screw you

Then back to Riley - he again said eff you

Now back to Aranda, and maybe Mark Stoops, or Matt Campbell.
