I’ve heard several reports, and look at the news it was Jimbo then Lincoln then Kelly and Kelly was last resort because their AD was known and brought in for big game poaching. That’s why they didn’t get Napier because they felt you don’t offer 8 m’s to the coach of UL, i think that was a bit short sighted, but here we are. Lsu was looking for a big name that also looks good at the country club. Meanwhile BK was reaching out to Florida and usc and they both was like ehhhhh maybe
yes he was, it was Jimbo, Lincoln then settled for him Texas AM baked the brinks truck up and that put the kibosh on that, and Lincoln took the usc job, and your ad promised a big name so they settled on Kelly
