OU is fine and happy.
He saw the writing on the wall. He was going to get exposed in the SEC. 🤣🤣🤣
Can’t wait until Saban retires then bama can go back to what they were before he arrived
12 National Championships?
Poor Bama, the poorest state with nothing but CFB. I never cared either way but now that a team like USC is rising up again. If USC does beat Bama, and they will it is just a ? of when. I'm not sure how I feel about that. A state with all the riches against a team from a state with nothing.
USC may then become the most hated school and the most loved school in the country. Haha weird
OU has already lost their 5-Star QB, WR, and their 4-Star RB commits within 24 hours.
It's ok this was the best thing for okla. I'm so happyf
@@loribrogdon7759 sure bout that🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Khanzee were just fine. Venables is doing damn good
@@mylespoun9709🤔
@@jamesblunt1915 what? Depth is much better than last year and recruiting is the best it has been in over a decade. The team does not have to rely on all time quarterback play to win games anymore
“Administrative alignment” means there is a clear understanding of the positive relationship between successful D1 football programs and donations to academic programs.
That comment about the alignment between the administration and the football program: Are you sure it wasn't also a veiled criticism of Oklahoma deciding to go to the SEC without Riley's buy in?
When I was in high school I loved to hate USC. The Pete Carroll teams were phenomenal but I absolutely hated them. This is good for college football if he can make USC a top program again, watching them play UCLA at home and the stadium was half empty was absolutely embarrassing to the sport.
He’s not going to make them better. He’s soft
@@boom8250 USC’s recruiting class is overrated every year. USC is only good for producing a few good NFL prospects every year.
Pete Carrolls teams were good for a reason, breaking the rules. That's why he ran to the nfl.
@@jameslamoureux8742 give me a break it had nothing to do with the school or Pete you need to read about the incident before you throw allegations out so freely. It was a sports memorabilia guy that gave Reggie Bush’s parents a house to live in San Diego lol
@@boom8250Haha
From a friend of mine who knows some people: LSU was willing to give him a Jimbo type of deal looking at $100+million to take over at LSU and never gave them an answer. This adds to the theory that he had already decided on USC for more than a few weeks and that no amount of money could lure him to Baton Rouge
Clint Eastwood said it best. A man has to know his limitations. Riley looking ahead had little faith in himself to go to the SEC and make a serious run at becoming a dynasty at LSU. His chances of building a dynasty program is much easier at usc and playing in that conference. Some folks are happy being a big fish in a small pond. He made the right choice for him and his family. The way he made this change was unethical. I don’t blame the fans at OU for feeling like they do. This man actually outdone Kiffen when he left Tennessee for usc.
LSU: Here is $12M per year to coach LSU and own the state's recruits.
USC: We will call that and raise you $3M per year with free roaming recruiting rights in SoCal.
And a home with two homless guys in it, PLUS10masks, and a free access to homeless blvd!! 😁
@Something Different Nick Saban will be back in the PAC 12 shopping for another Offensive Coordinator because his offenses after Kiffin and Sarkisian is Garbage.
@Something Different lol good luck with that when Riley is keeping the Bryce young’s, Najee harris’s, Kayvon T’s of CA at home ✌️😂
@Something Different Not anymore because USC will Dominate and start smacking the SEC around like how Pete Carroll use to do lol.
@@SportZFan4L1fe I’ll believe it when it happens y’all are so hopeful and it’s funny
It’s like he gutted Oklahoma on purpose, the place that gave him his only opportunity and made him the head coach he is. Shows who he is as a person. What comes around goes around.
It is a business, bud. Calm down.
@@bourboncask4089 stfu. The way he did it was cowardly. It’s a business. Gtfoh with that bs
shut up! Its a business. No one cares about Oklahoma.
@@boom8250 You would not leave you job for the same job but 3 times the money ? Nope you would pack up and go any one would
Take your emotions out of it and you’ll realize OU did it to themselves with going to the SEC over night. I don’t think ole linc wanted that move
If Oregon has been picking up 5 stars and top 5-10 recruiting classes then Riley at USC sure as heck can.
He's already getting his 5 star Oklahoma recruits decommitting and going to USC.
Lincoln Riley and USC= 🗑
Sunny California and a huge paycheck and I don't have to play Georgia, Alabama et all. I'm in! lol
If he wants to win the Natty hes going to have to come through the SEC and/or the Big 10. The PAC 12 is completely irrelevant.
@@litedawg easier to play one SEC school one time per year, than 8-9 SEC schools yearly my guy.
No, y’all still have a obscene state income tax and no Oklahoma coach has ever feared the SEC. it’s the fact that a national championship at USC is job security. LSU wasn’t ever a option. Can anybody name the last OU coach that like the SEC on any level? There is none. It’s not about fear it’s about integrity.
He ran from the SEC plain and simple
@@lorenzohaynes3886 would you like to try that again, only this time in coherent English?
Beach life, easier conference vs small town, in the SEC....hmmmmmmm
Better school, better location, better salary, better program...etc.
@@ovloh not a better program lol
Saying USC is on par with LSU/the SEC is early 2000's thinking. More accurately, Riley knows the chance to win a title is MUCH easier in the PAC12 than in the SEC and be ran from it.
I think y’all are just over thinking this
I agree. He will have plenty of titles and a chance to get in the playoffs. OK getting pulled into the SEC was going to water them down way too much. Sucks for teams like ND and Cincinnati because they won't be sliding in after conferences beat each other up.
I mean USC has overall way better history and titles than LSU
@@Rebel-eq7ul Don't get me wrong on that, historically USC is on par. The question is more SEC vs. PAC-12. If my options are to stay at OU or go to LSU/USC, I get why he went to USC. Way easier route to a championship out there. I think he's worried about the move to the SEC.
@@jaredthompson1242 I mean of course I agree it’s easier but I think it’s good for the sport Oregon and USC need to put the west coast on the map again
Lincoln Riley saw the writing on the wall, OU joining the SEC. He'll have to coach every weekend in the SEC and he didn't want to get exposed with his weak defensive system.
LOL
It hurts for a true OU fan. We seriously look forward playing in the SEC. Expectations at OU are the highest. To be the best you have to beat the best. Riley obviously couldn't take the pressure. Why else go to the powerless 5 school in a powerless conference.
OU administration wouldn’t back up Riley’s request for more resources to compete against the SEC heavyweights. Any OU fans saying Riley is a coward are just fooling themselves. If your boss sends you into a gunfight with a knife, do you try to work miracles with the knife?
Josh Heupel is the answer - plain and simple!
I’m more upset on how he left, rather than the fact that he left. Shady
Coaching football in the SEC isn't for EVERYONE! Ask Urban Myer!
Was that b4 or after he won national championships?
Oh please. Ed Orgeron Won a National Title in the SEC. It can't be that hard to win there 😆. Hell even Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach find it easy to light up those vaunted SEC Defenses.
@Something Different Riley just got a Big boost in term of TALENT. ...USC will win another National Title before Oklahoma does and put fear in the SEC like how Pete Carroll use to do at SC .
@@SportZFan4L1fe doubt it EVERYBODY has a hand in cali recruiting
Myer took the Florida Gators to a pair of national titles in 2006 and 2008. In six seasons at Florida from 2005-2010 he racked up a cumulative record of 65-15,
The "administrative alignment" thing really intrigued me too when I heard it, and I thought they must have a goal that Riley liked. Turns out that goal was probably joining the B1G
The decommiting is starting, and…..GO!!
With this news and now Brian Kelly leaving Notre Dame, is there a true destination job in college football?
That depends on the coach, but the closest you'll get to a true destination job is Alabama.
When Saban eventually retires, every coach in the country will be interested in that job. The talent he'll leave behind within a structure and culture built for winning championships will draw any decent coach's interest.
Alabama is the king of college football and they'll have their choice of any coach in the country when Saban decides he's done.
Good for Riley! He will have the financial resources and will not living under a magnifying glass. The pressure to win is quite different in Los Angeles. Over 75% of it’s residents will not know who he is or what he does. OU will likely lose several decent recruits.
Kingsbury signed with USC for
a few days before going to NFL. Urban considered USC 2 yrs ago. Coaches have bigger dreams. SC new defense coach will make the difference.
Urban would have came to USC but Carol Folts didn’t want him at USC so they never went for him
So Riley realized he couldn't cut it in the SEC so he ran to the PAC12. I figured he had more character then to run away when things are gonna start getting tough but I guess not.
Nobody Cares about what you have to say.
Seriously, people think Riley can't compete in the SEC are deluding themselves. The reason he left is bc OKLA's admin chose to leave for the SEC without consulting him and the fact that he can make USC into a powerhouse again (cementing his legacy). People talking about "character" and all that are just salty that USC is a better job than Oklahoma.
@@Aiasmor Well according to the kids that he coached it is about character. Many of them were lied to when Riley promised them and their families that he was going no where and was in it for the "long haul" with OU just to give them all the middle finger while he dances to the bank with a big bag of cash. According to the players themselves Riley stabbed them in the back. Riley has done nothing but cemented his legacy as the coach or pussied out and turned tail to run from the SEC. The SEC fans and sports analysts are having a fun time right now raking Riley over the coals because he's too afraid to coach in the SEC.
@@bigd7481 "Big bag of cash" ? Oklahoma and USC can pay him pretty much the same amount from what I've heard. And the kids who committed to Oklahoma are decommitting like crazy rn so I guess they don't feel too bad. "Afraid to Coach in the SEC" huh? Or maybe Riley knows that playing in a 16 team conference is a lose-lose situation except for Oklahoma's administration who will make bank and send the Sooners into irrelevancy.
@@Aiasmor Yes, "Big bag of cash." Word is USC offered a comparable amount as LSU and LSU was offering between $100 and $130 million for 10 years. OU can't offer anywhere near that. Riley was making $6 mill a year at OU, no way OU could afford more than double that. Also I'm not talking about the kids who've committed this year, they can decommit and recommit elsewhere. I'm talking about the freshmen and sophomores that were made all kinds of promises only to be lied to and now have no idea what the future of their football careers will be. Maybe I'm old school and think coaches should have strong character and do what's right for the kids, since they are who's important and who we all come to watch. But hey, at least he can buy an even BIGGER and GAUDIER mansion with all that LA money he just got.
Good discussion josh I wish Lincoln Riley all the best thank you coach for everything that you did for Oklahoma 💪🏾💯
Love all the salty Oklahoma fans here crying about Riley's "cowardice". Lol, your university didn't consult him about moving to the SEC so why should he tell everyone he's moving to USC?
You need to get out more, Riley was neck deep in the discussion with the OU administration.
@@JCann That's what I heard from other outlets, but yea that's what Riley said. I'm not sure I believe him, but idk.
I was shocked that Riley went to USC, and never thought he was going to LSU or that LSU was that interested. The hallmark of the SEC is strong D, and nothing about Riley anywhere suggests strong D. I did not think Riley would last more than 3 seasons in the SEC. However, in the PAC, he could thrive with a good O and average D.
Lincoln just doesn’t have a strong D
Big Baby Lincoln was afraid of the SEC smoke , we all know why he left.
Of this there is no doubt.
Lincoln Riley hated his life 😂 in boring Norman Oklahoma that's why he left, I think 🤔
When OU backed at bulking up his staff and facilities, he had to go elsewhere.
If you're going to beat SEC teams, you go to USC. Pete Carroll proved that. USC is Not Ohio State or Choke-lahoma.
@@nicksemerikoff9805 I hear Norman can be pretty fun, prolly can’t compete at all the los Angles though.
Fir the last few years the best QB's in the country have been coming out of Cal High schools and playing for Alabama, Clemson , Notre Dame etc He's one guy that can get the best to stay home and win Heismans again.
Again,you just can't sign every QB in the recruiting base you will need to fill the other positions plus once you pick a starter the rest will transfer
Great day to be a USC Trojan Fan...
247 sports, could yours put Captions in the videos? please. It would help me understand and help other people who are still learning English and want to use their videos for this.
Gator fan here (full disclosure) I have no idea why a coach would leave OU! That said as a private U , UM should take a lesson
I think he preferred the B12 because it provided an easier path to the playoff. Now he found an even easier path in the Pathetic 12. Good for him, USC, and the PAC.
Edit: OU, Texas....you deserve the ass kicking in the SEC. 😂 Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out of the B12.
Imagine being a fan of the Big 12, yikes.
So I guess now that means the new big 12 is the best conference in the country. Or is the big 12 not even a a power 5 conference anymore
Blah blah blah.
Same old crap different day.
Well from my years of watching and playing football and never being a OU fan I can honestly say that I doubt Texas or OU will be the basement dwellers in the sec as all you haters say. Because year after year both Texas and OK have met and beaten sec teams convincingly.I know go ahead and throw AL and GA in and say they will beat Tx and Ok into the ground, but then I guess every other sec team must be just as sorry as you'll say Tx and Ok is, because I see them beating the crap out of all the other sec teams year in and year out.unless by some fluke a team like aTm beats them once in 10-15 years. Oh but wait they didn't beat lsu in 2019! Well neither did any sec team but at least Tx played them closer then any sec did. So AL has 1 win against Tx in all there meetings. And I might add only 1 sec team holds a winning record against Texas. Every team including AL and GA like every other college football teams can be beaten on any given weekend, just ask AL about that. And yes GA is unbeaten but their offense is as any other team, They haven't put up any high points on a continuous bases. The only reason they are unbeaten and don't have 4 loses is because their defense is definitely extraordinary excellent and on top
So Riley is going to USC where he will have a easier path to the payoffs. Then still get donkey stomped in the playoffs.
Gorilla dragged....He's accustomed to it. It's happened to him twice since being HC at OU.
@@tacticalmattfoley you’re talking like Alabama doesn’t rag doll the “mighty” SEC teams 9/10 years 💀.
USC will secure a better recruiting class than all those SEC teams not named Alabama starting next year 😂✌️
@@hs7314 Riley will be fired in three years so it won't matter anyway.....
How could you compare the former USC-Administration.With the current.The President And Athletic Director are totally new!!!!!
Glad LSU fans see that their program isn't on tier with the likes of Bama, USC, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan.
USC is not a better program than LSU 😂😂.
@@nikolajames3654 Historically it is. Might want to go do some research. CFB didn't start in 2008, for you teenagers that should be in school right now. 💀🤣
@@Legal_Savant yea well programs fall and yea historically there better but it isn’t 2008 and usc hasn’t been relevant meanwhile LSU has competed and won national championships 😂😂
Plus it’s way easier to recruit in LSU with the resources and money down there.
Plus not to mention being in the south and having a advantage with recruiting offensive and defensive lineman down in places like Texas,Louisiana and Florida
Spencer Rattler has already entered the transfer portal !
He's scared to go to SEC and get his ass kicked by Bama, Georgia etc. Good riddance
Smart move, forget sec move
Apparently the USC President had something against Urban Meyer.
Why because Oklahoma going to SEC there you can lose your job faster as a coach! better to go now than later!
😂😂
Very simple Josh. It is ALOT easier to place yourself in an Ohio State or Clemson position playing out West in the PAC-12 verses trying to beat teams in the SEC week in and out. Riley did not want to got o the SEC and struggle MIGHTILY, as they have struggled this season against average teams. He saw the writing on the wall. He becomes mediocre in the SEC or as he has chosen to become High Profile in the PAC-12. Too Easy!!!
Struggled this year because Riley's head wasn't in it for this year. USC thing started back in September, he gave up on the team he built. Dude is a snake.
Afraid of that SEC smoke.
Yall just mad because a west coast school has enough sway to pull a big name coach. If Riley can reproduce the same success at USC, college football is a better sport for it. SC is a blue blood, and if they can get Cali's best prospects, they'll challenge for a natty in the years to come.
@@MHiggs-rx5zz Right. Their insanely good hiring this decade connects that perfectly. I don't know how it was over looked.
Look forward to sending you home in round one! We call it the Riley special.
@@MHiggs-rx5zz lmao what? USC in 5 years won't win a Natty over an SEC team 😂 SEC is not afraid of some shitty PAC 12 team.
Everyone expecting Caleb Williams to follow, Spencer Rattler transfering, not sure who ou is gonna have in that qb room now
If that’s what he said, then might have been pissed about not being in the loop on the SEC move.
I'm shocked about this but if Lincoln has success there the pac 12 will finally have a cfp participant
My man is smart. Easy conference, lots of money, no recruiting challenges other than Oregon out west.
You put it that way. If I had a fondue gif I’d put that on here..😁
BUT 3 LETTERS THAT SCARE LINCOLN RILEY SEC!!!! 😁
Last time they won a chip, they had it stripped for paying recruits so....
@@cmac9141 maybe Riley brings that back🤷🏽♂️ it’s easier to hide now “NIL”.
@@Alex-ij3kj the 3 letters the SEC is scared of is U S C.
@@SportZFan4L1fe 😂🤣
And now Clay Helton is the new head coach of Georgia Southern but nobody in the media even mentioned it 😂
Bro that was announced almost 2 months ago lol
@@madmaxxcrosby and yet nobody noticed. But when USC gets a new coach look at the reaction lol
If I was OU, I would look at Mark Stoops
OU needs to get Joe Brady.
fight on
Oklahoma and SEC fans are really salty that a Pac 12 school stole one of the best coaches in the country. People dont understand how bad Clay Helton was. Riley will have USC winning 10+ games per year.
I don't think SEC fans care one way or another....In our eyes, he ran away from the stiffest competition. He knew he couldn't handle it. He's a cupcake and California is where he belongs.
Let's Go Lincoln! What a POS 17 days before signing day
It's crazy all these Cali kids leaving out of state. Lincoln is gonna straighten this shit out
I actually feel bad Oklahoma early signing day coming up, their probably going to be exodus, and now need coach that will go win in big 12 then 2 or 3 years and then have to compete in sec
Oklahoma should hire someone like Ed Orgeron.
@@legendaryTMNICO he flamed out at lsu so not sure about that
Riley really f***ed Oklahoma over...... By the end of this season, he would no longer be considered one of the best coaches in the country and the SEC would've embarrassed him..
He took the money and the easy route in a safe space and left Oklahoma to die.
What he just did to Oklahoma is 100x worse than what Kiffin did to Tennessee and look at Tennessee since.... That AD better make a home run hire because Riley probably just cost him his career.
I'm not shovked... the Atlanta Falcons should have hired him after shaniehan left.. he is good enough to coach on Sundays... and he is smart enough not to attempt to recruits against the monsters in the SEC
It was a big blow when Kyle Shanahan left the falcons.
Easier path, now for him, to BCS Championship Game at USC vs OU
There’s no such thing as the BCS anymore bro
Expand the playoffs to 8 or 16 teams that's the solution
Lincoln was never going to LSU. What we're not going to hear him say is that the SEC is a recruiting cesspool that he wanted no part of and OU (and UT) chose money and SEC hype over the quality of their programs. Now I think Lincoln would have dealt with it had USC not been on the table. But its USC. Now with that being said I think OU knew Lincoln didn't want to stay at OU and we're going to see Venerables or Campbell announced as the HC pretty quickly. OR they knew Bob Stoops would commit to the next 3 or so years.
Ed orgeron should take the OU job.
Riley did not believe he could win consistently in the SEC. That beatdown at the hands of LSU in the playoff a couple of years ago says it all
That is years ago with a team who had Joe Burrow
Oklahoma will become the Nebraska of the SEC
Not an Oklahoma fan, but they need to throw every dollar they can at Lane Kiffin. SEC ready coach who will bring a fun offense to a school that can run it.
Trust and now Lane Kiffen won't even receive an interview.
Ya’ll SEC fans acting like he should have hoped to win SEC first year. Riley’s going to have to fully restructure roster and adjust to SEC style. Going to take 3 years.
If it’s going to take 3 years to rebuild a football team, USC is arguably a more interesting place to do it.
Your comment makes no sense. He actually has the talent now and talent coming in to compete in the SEC immediately. Hes got a 5 Star QB now , more coming in as well as some big time WRs that have already decommitted. Thanks for stopping by.
@@litedawg So you are saying you have never been West of the 0iney woods. Got it.
OU should reach out to Deion Sanders
Eric Bieniemy
Garrick McGee
in that order
He wanted out from OU before they joined the SEC.
He's going to love living in California.
Smart pac 12 is a easy conference to dominate
I wonder if OU is going to be the next Nebraska
Time will tell
The thing that OU has over NE is location. Norman which is outside of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is much more appealing than Lincoln, Nebraska. Time will indeed tell, sure hope not but Riley completely gutting the Sooners program in a matter of 24 hours and so soon before recruiting season could be a near death blow for the foreseeable future...
Riley didn't want to face the SEC schedule.
Coaches who live to compete compete in the sec,coaches who can't really compete shy away from true competition guys like Riley would prefer to rule the cow pond than rule the world or strive to
It is not THAT he left, it is HOW he left!
He left because he's 3rd-5th in the SEC! and he's the type of dude that looks good until the 1st round happens and then gets KNOCKED OUT!
He can play in the WEAK pac-12 and still play KING !
The BIG-12 was actually a better conference than the PAC-12!
SIMPLE AS THAT
Blown out first round
What he did to OU, he will do to USC.
Please stop showing new photos of LA Memorial. That new construction on one side is such an eye-sore.
SEC west vz BAMA every year not a good look many of coaches have been fired for not beating Bama
What’s appealing is “HE WOULD NOT BE IN THE SEC” he’s scared to death. He knows Oklahomas name will be next to Vandy year in and year out and would rather not get fired. He’s running scared boys!
OU wins Even Kansas has Riley's offensive style figured out and all but 2 teams OU played this year hadn't figured out how to stop Riley's seemingly never changing what the offense wanted to do. Bye Riley!! USC might make a fool of you and give you the education you'll long remember.
Gonna cherry pick the 5star athletes out of the trinity league ! GO SC!!!!
And still do nothing with them. Riley is soft
Jaxson dart and Miller moss, we ok without Caleb
Makes more money and doesn’t have to coach against the SEC. No brainer.
I hope bob stoops stays at oklahoma
That was a bitch move my Lincoln. Could of at least told OU 4 games ago this will be my last season. This coming from a Gators fan.
He does not want to try and compete in the SEC...
We can hate on Riley all we want but this is a great move for college football as a whole
Can’t wait for all the Cali prospects stay home !
I would agree if Riley was actually a good coach. He's not the kind of guy who can rebuild a program like USC. OU was backsliding. He was handed a goldmine that Bob Stoops built and they were regressing. He blew a playoff game against Georgia his first year with a poor coaching decision. The game was over and he goofed a kickoff and handed Georgia the game. Every year since, OU has regressed ever so slightly. They've been to the playoffs but have been absolutely shelled. The defenses he's put on the field are an embarrassment to college football.
@@tacticalmattfoley boy this aged like milk left out on a hot summer’s day
@@ikristian13d20 We'll see. We've had coaches that were one hit wonders.
LSU is a better job blah blah blah... Fight on baby! ✌🏾
Oklahoma is about to go to the SEC, you think he wants to see Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, and Florida every year, or every other year? So he ran to the cupcake land known as the Pac-12.
Ole Miss.Has improved,because of the California Connection-Kiffin and Corral.And Ole Miss.Has an awful defense.And they seem to be doing well.
Riley wanted no part of sec schedule.
I’m thinking he’s scared of tanking with SEC competition so he’s leaving in advance. 😋
Riley lacks a defensive mind- if he can get a counterpart to his offensive ability he will do well but he consistently, so far, views defense as secondary and that that has cost him and Oklahoma.
Won't be needing the defense in the pac12
@@deez26788 well if his goal is to make the playoffs at USC he’s going to need it
Riley is running scared of the SEC to q much easier Pac 12.
Lincoln Riley is not fooling anybody he knew that Oklahoma was about to come to the SEC, his Oklahoma Sooners was about to be the small fish in a big pond... when you play in the Big 12 you can load your schedule with a bunch of cupcakes and then at the end of the season you play one conference game against an actual contender... I truly believe that Riley wanted no part of the SEC, he knew that Oklahoma was probably about to be aligned in the SEC West, and in the SEC Oklahoma would be lucky to be average at best... so let's talk about USC for a minute, when the Trojans were a Powerhouse in college football, Pete Carroll had them offensively discipline and defensively discipline, they were completely solid on both sides of the football, and I know Lincoln Riley can recruit but the one knock on his whole career so far is that his Oklahoma teams have had some of the worst defenses in the Big 12 and college football. So probably it's really smart for him to go out west where his common opponents will be Arizona State, Arizona, Washington, Notre Dame, Oregon UCLA and Washington State.. that's a hell of a lot easier than competing every year against Alabama Crimson Tide, Georgia Bulldogs, and the powerhouses of the SEC... the ones I feel really sorry for though is Oklahoma, because in the last 24 hours they've lost five of their top five star recruits... who knows what they're going to do as far as head coach, I hear one of their possible candidates is Brent Venables of Clemson, he has turned down head coaching jobs in the past to stay at Clemson so who knows what will happen there, whatever happens Oklahoma and Texas both are looking at 3-4 losses in the SEC every season...
the chicks gotta be a lot hotter at SC than LSU. that would be my motivation
any reasonable person would rather be in southern california than Oklahoma. let’s be real lmao
Yeah, that's why Californians are fleeing the state in droves......
What has he won? His defenses are terrible. He's a run n shoot coach
I think this a dumb move but he’s obviously scared to come to the SEC.
Riley will build a program at USC that can win the PAC-12 every year and will get picked for the CFP and get his head handed to him by whatever SEC team he comes up against just like the past five years at Oklahoma.
Play Alabama every year or only have to beat Oregon lmao easy choice bring on weak pac 12 defenses forget getting manhandled in the sec lol.
Don't be surprised if Spencer rattler ends up at the University of Southern California.
I hope not. SC has talent at QB. Keep Rattler away from the Coliseum.
@@Makai77 yeah the University of Southern California has a really good football team do you want to get back to the Glory Days. And they think Lincoln Riley can get them there. Yeah so they got Lincoln really and I guess they're going to go back to Bob Stoops now.
College coaches have become as greedy and egotistical as pro sports players. And all that "LOVING IT!" stuff you been hearing from Fishbo ... that's what he told Tallahassee for years.
Report:
According to sources, Michigan's DC, Mike MacDonald is linked to USC new staff for the same position.
Weird because grinch is already heading there. Your sources suck
Let's not forget his only true competition in the Pac 12 will be Oregon
Utah will own him like Kansas State and Iowa State has
Riley was scared of the move.
All these goofballs were wrong. We tried to tell you he was a clown. The fact he tried to throw our administration under the bus to cover his failings is the most disgusting part.
