USC Coaching Search - Riley

[Cyclad]

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.

Who would not prefer the west coast to Oklahoma?

I think he is a great fit, and will be very successful there.

Rattler - maybe. Depends if there is bad blood between them.

Stoops back to OU?

 

[CysRage]

Appears he will be the interim at least:

How long has Bobby been out of the college game? I get it’s an Interim basis but he has spent more time in Iowa City bars than he has on a practice field since he retired. They expect him to come in and hold things together? Lol

 

[Die4Cy]

He would be a damn good hire

On Urb's end the USC job would have been better.

Smart move by Riley, leave that mess to someone else. Never thought he lived it there anyway, and he can put together some crazy offenses at usc.

 

[Bikeryde]

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

More like Caleb following him.

 

[awd4cy]

Feel like Urban would go to LSU before he’d go to OU.

I think this is great hire for USC and no brainer for Riley with the upcoming SEC move. We will never know but wonder if he does this if not for the SEC.

 

[jcisuclones]

Seeing reports that he wasn't happy about the SEC move, so I'm sure, if true, that played a big time factor.

My guess at OU's calls, in-order (assuming Bob doesn't want long term)

- Josh Heupel - won a natty at OU and done well with UT
- Lane Kiffin
- Aranda
- CMC

 

[Die4Cy]

Baylor AD might wish he rushed the contract extension for Aranda.

Thought OU was ready for the Stoops era to come to an end and it closed about as amicably as possible. Not unlike Danny Mac and ISU. Thanks, but this is the end.

Maybe that's different now and they're holding their groins/willing to swallow their pride.

 

[Lineup]

Scot Frosh to OU

 

[BoxsterCy]

More like Caleb following him.

I don't know, a Washington D.C. kid going to LA while his current team is moving to the SEC and games closer to home?

Would love to see Bobby on the Alamo Bowl sideline in a few weeks, after Lincoln took all the good pieces of the staff with him anyway.

[davegilbertson]

Kind of looks like a young, bald, Pete Carrol there.

 

[NoCreativity]

He was smart and got out before the 7-5 seasons start in the SEC.

Congrats to Lincoln Riley, USC will give you 4 years tops to succeed, or will it be Riley leaves USC in 3 to the NFL?

 

[DarkStar]

Riley didn't show up for taping his coaching show.
