USC Coaching Search - Riley

[cyclone1209]

Riley to USC. Just confirmed. He gone.

Call me an optimist, i see a very low % that Campbell would consider OU. Their move to the SEC west would be reason #1, 2, and 3

Big Game Bob on Line #1.....

OU will take that call.

Appears he will be the interim at least:

 

[Cyched]

I don’t blame Riley. Tough to get OU to the top of the conference in the SEC. Smart to move somewhere where he can dominate.

More I think about it, I think he's a terrific fit at USC. Also seems like he might prefer the west coast over Oklahoma.

I could also see Rattler following him to LA.

 

[ripvdub]

Venebels was at OU before wasn't he? He will be an option.

 

[TClone99]

No I ain't worried about OU

Me either. Riley is leaving for a reason to take a job that Campbell apparently turned down.

Sounds like he’s recruited a lot in California while at OU. Probably is a great fit for him.

That's another great option

 

[JUKEBOX]

OU deserves all of this. The traitors are going to be the next Tennessee in the SEC.

I think the better comparison is arkansas -- probably will have a decent program, but it will be more difficult to field a perennial championship winner

many of the strategic advantages that they had in the big 8/12 are now gone, so the job will be harder

 

[BigLame]

Riley may think OU didn't get their normal calls from officials in last night's Bedlam game. Well, OU sure as Hell ain't getting those calls in the SEC either. Combined with avoiding the SEC West - just as well go to USC where he can get paid & be the big fish in the PAC12 pond.

 

[cyclonestunners]

If Washington & Deboer is real, I don’t see Campbell going anywhere. Riley to USC won’t happen, Oklahoma will match any offer & probably extend him like Franklin/PSU. USC is in real trouble rn

This aged well haha.

Dear Oklahoma:

Your job got harder when you decided to hitch your wagon to ******* Texas.

Absolutely perfect use of this gif

 

[BigJCy]

OU hate aside, I wonder who they go after? I would be surprised if it was Campbell. I could see:
Lane Kiffin
Promote Grinch
Mark Stoops (has done a good job at Kentucky. Not sure why he isn't mentioned more for these jobs?)

There has been some talk that he could be a LSU candidate.

Stoops has it pretty good at UK. Makes a ton of money and doesn't have a ton of pressure there to win big. Now maybe he is tired of reaching probably the ceiling for that program and wants to move on to one that has a legit shot of winning big.

 

[cyIclSoneU]

If OU misses on this hire they could be permanently in the middle of the SEC going 8-4. I have a hard time seeing them going for a guy who hasn’t quite gotten over the hump on conference titles and who has zero SEC ties. Think Kiffin has to be on their mind. Also think Aranda is another call.

You think Rattler is going to follow the coach who benched him? Get real .

Unless Rattler is pissed at the coach for getting beat out which is more likely than not.

No way - instead Riley will make Jaxson Dart a Heisman winner.

Ya, I didn't think about that.

If he can swallow his pride (doubt it), he seems like the type that would like LA and the stupid large NIL deals that USC can provide, which was my thought process.

Probably more likely he goes pro at this point.

 

[Die4Cy]

If OU wasn't going to the SEC west in a year or two, they would have a chance at some pretty good established coaches out there, including some currently in the SEC.

Well, anyone with LSU as an option would take that over OU.

 

[CycloneVet]

Urban Meyer to Oklahoma.

He would be a damn good hire
