Gantt, on the other hand, sounds skeptical...

 

Gantt is assuming Tepper cares about this. If you're willing to outspend your competitors then driving the asking costs up ultimately only further benefits you.

If you win.

If you're outspending everybody else but still losing, you're Jerry Jones.

Long after Rhule had graduated, of course...

Joe Brady will be our next OC, and Joe Burrow will be our next starting QB. So it is written, so it shall come to pass.

Obviously Brady is a big "turnaround" guy like Rhule.  I can see the attraction

 

Or, Dabo has just started a rumor to screw up LSU, I kid

We'd have to spend huge for a coordinator to get him. LSU will. A big part of the rise of Clemson has been them investing majorly in their coordinators. Their coordinators probably make more than the vast majority of college head coaches. For years LSU had great defenses and were hampered by mediocre offenses. Now they have this high flying high octane offense and they're not going to let that guy walk without offering him the whole kitchen sink.

I've heard we have an owner with resources

As an Auburn/Carolina fan, my response to this is:

Yes, please.

What if they already have a deal in place with Cincy to move to one, and we already have agreed to get Brady from LSU? That would make a lot of the things coming from Rhule and Marty make a lot more sense

if Cincy has already tentatively agreed to a deal for #1 three and a half months before the draft, and are keeping it close to the vest and not trumpeting it to anyone who would listen to blatantly drive up the price in a bidding war, then they are even dumber than everyone here thinks they are. which is to say, don't expect any kind of deal for that pick to be announced in the next couple of months.

I would love Brady here but I'm keeping my expectations tempered. Gun to my head, I'm thinking this is an effort to drive up $$ at LSU. Even if he does come here, I feel like he would be here 2-3 years max before getting a HC gig somewhere else. 

I can't begin to imagine what it would cost us to move up to #1 overall  to get the next Joe Montana. On the flipsid, our OL would turn him into the next David Carr, and a future that needs draft capital, while having an OL, DL and secondary that has huge holes.

I think Lawrence is the better overall athlete and I don't think any would disagree. I'm not sold on him being the better overall QB prospect though. Burrow may have just out together the best passing season of any QB in P5 history and he didn't do it dinking and dunking, he did it chucking the ball down the field.

Lawrence is the better prospect because he still has the better package of skills.  Always has.  Every step along the way in comparison to someone like Burrow.  

Burrow is 2 years older than Kyle Allen.  He has never event attended LSU.   He basically is a professional QB taking advantage of the debut of the Saints offense being run against SEC teams.   If Brady stayed at LSU and Burrow could return (which he can't)…..there would be a course correction to their success. 

I mean, just look at the the swing in narrative just because of the OU game alone caused.  Crazy.   Clemson basically went from a 2 point favorite to a 6 pt dawg.  Because not only does OU play bad defense.  And they have all year.  But they played about the stupidest D possible in that bowl game with their bad D.   Nothing has changed in reality since before and after that OU game.   But the narrative is vastly different. 

Burrow does one thing better than Lawrence.  His pocket movement is actually better as of right now.  That's it.
