Question by Olin so Jimbo could put it to bed. Keep the recruiting hot and maybe help ease the minds of some of our 5* croots!

Why are people upset with Olin for asking? It's literally his job. I don't get it.
I'm not upset. I'm just wondering if it was a coordinated effort between the athletic department and Texags
I know you're not. I've seen plenty of people who are.

And Olin asked it in the most benign way possible; we wouldn't have gotten the great quotes had Olin not asked. Jimbo even joked with Olin by name, there's no hard feelings from either side on this.

This and I would not have minded that at all….
Olin asked because the story is still out there no matter how tattered it has become. I don't blame him for it, but if follows a pattern of creating a story that hangs on his question. Looch is free to correct if asking it was a "publisher-level" direction or just an idea Olin chose on his own.
Olin asking put the story to bed. Who could possibly be mad about that?
Jimbo isn't mad, I just posted about his weekly radio appears on houston radio, you should listen. JImbo is not mad about the questions.
People on premium were literally asking Olin to ask the question because they still were not convinced by Jimbo's previous statement. They wanted Jimbo to literally say "I am not interested in LSU and never going to leave Texas A&M. I am not even answering Woodward's calls"
Yeah you and OP are both right. For starters, it's a hot topic, so Olin should ask. Secondly, someone in the room had to fall on that grenade of lobbying the pitch up there for Jimbo to go attack mode on it.

I think it may very well have been coordinated, not necessarily with this site but with Olin individually as he is a well known Texas college football writer and has a lot of skins on the wall above and beyond TexAgs.
This is how you softball.

What if we are trying to over think it? First everyone is demanding Jimbo to firmly declare he is staying and not going to LSU (apparently the other 2-3 times were not enough). Now they are asking why he said he firmly declared he was staying and not going to LSU. SMH…

I would not be surprised. Nor would I be surprised if Olin tipped Jimbo off that he was going to ask it.
You have a team of what I call "Coaching Juggernauts" this is not an opinion, this is fact.
Please tell me this guy is in horn J School.
