Lincoln Riley

[Fader21]

Lsuodyssey.com is reporting that Lincoln Riley has accepted the LSU job.
I told ya'll he would be in the SEC before Oklahoma was.

[msstate7]

I think this is a great hire. They'll have a big time qb now commit/transfer

[VandelayIndustries]

I’d wait for a more reliable source but their does seem to be some smoke there

[Quaoarsking]

He won't get to play a super soft schedule at LSU, rack up meaningless wins, and then lose in the semifinals in a spot he never really deserved. He'll have to step it up.

He'll also have his pick of great talent in Louisiana. Bc of his reputation, he'll have big time qbs. If he makes a good DC hire, he'll do well

[viverlibre]

I'd wait for an NFL call if I were him.

i think the wheels are starting to turn and you will hear more stuff come out Sunday.

I guess. He kept Oklahoma at a level they'd been at previously (though not to the highest highs). If he can do that at LSU, he'll win a lot of games.

There is zero doubt in my mind that he will win a national championship at LSU.

[Cooterpoot]

If Myles and Orgeron can win titles, half this board could if they could assemble a good staff and give good speeches.

[WhiskeyPirate]

He’d be a good hire. Anyone with a pulse should be able to win at LSU. Ogre and Miles are not Mensa candidates.

Riley is a good hire with his offense.

[Commercecomet24]

Lol true.

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

That move really would take some balls considering Oklahoma will be moving to the sec. Be some real animosity going on.

[was21]

Didn't he come out from under Leach

[Tater]

The flights from Norman to Baton Rouge and back making people believe there is real smoke to this is a coordinated effort from one of Oklahoma's richest alumni using their own private jet to troll the hell out of LSU for even having the audacity to think they could get Lincoln. This has been a coordinated troll.

[defiantdog]

Bert?

[KOdawg1]

Napier to Florida is almost official as well.

[bulldawg28]

Kiffin to Oklahoma

[Cooterpoot]

Kiffin to Oklahoma

Briles or Kiffin would be good fits. Looks like they're lining up the presser and all the LSU folks have jumped on his Twitter jock. I'd say this is done.

[confucius say]

It's really hard to not win at LSU. I mean miles and O are average at very best and both won titles. He will do good there.

[confucius say]

Napier to Florida is almost official as well.

Is Napier an upgrade over Dan? I'd be shocked if Napier outperforms Dan's first four years

[Dawgsfanalongtime77]

Is Napier an upgrade over Dan? I'd be shocked if Napier outperforms Dan's first four years
Definitely not an upgrade

[bulldawg28]

Is Napier an upgrade over Dan? I'd be shocked if Napier outperforms Dan's first four years

He's not. They're running basically the same offense.

[Commercecomet24]

Dan 2.0

[msudawg1200]

Napier is going to be that "hot" G5 coach that comes to a P5 school and falls flat on his face.

[Cowbell]

Give me the under on Riley. I've watched his teams play a lot and he will not make it long in this league if rumors are true. He plays to his competition weekly.

[Matt3467]

Apparently Riley isn't taking the LSU job. I thought it was a dumb move anyway with OK heading to the SEC.

[dawgday166]

He's not. They're running basically the same offense.

Napier will probably "strain" more than Dano did, so probably an upgrade.

[Catfish]

Yeah, not a good time to be changing teams.

[basedog]

If I’m LSU I would make Kiffin say no. They need a “splash name coach” IMO.

[Commercecomet24]

Riley not taking lsu job.

[MetEdDawg]

I think Riley not taking LSU is a bad move.

I would rather have LSU's talent and resources when the change comes than Oklahoma's.

I think Oklahoma could have a very rough transition to the SEC.

I think you're right, I hear though he's getting a massive raise ou.

He probably can coach at OU a long time. LSU you start getting sideways with the fans for a year or two and you’re out. But I’d agree LSUs potential is greater.

Maybe so but it’s also gonna be tougher on programs like LSU, competition is gonna be greater even with Texas coming to Sec as well as Oklahoma.

[msstate7]

Oklahoma gonna be ok, I think. Sec is starting to be an offensive league anyway now. They'll have big time qbs as long as Riley is there, and I expect them to get more quality defenders now that they're sec. I'm sure they're gonna really hit La and Mississippi now that they have sec to sell

[Turfdawg67]

All Kiffin's jobs are filling up... maybe he's happy where he's at?

[Todd4State]

He may have to be for now.

Oklahoma is a very good job though. You can get to the NFL coaching there. They don't have Louisiana's per capita talent but they're not far from Dallas/Texas and they have a really good culture and resources. Now that they are going to the SEC I think it's a similar job to LSU.

[WhiskeyPirate]

The names I’m seeing as possible q b replacements for Corrall is going to lead to a big drop off. If he sticks around and goes 6-6 it’s going to really cool off his name being mentioned for top jobs. He knows this, which is why I still think he may look to bolt depending on what he has coming in.

[Todd4State]

Apparently Riley isn't taking the LSU job. I thought it was a dumb move anyway with OK heading to the SEC.

It didn't make sense to me either. Unless there was something going on behind the scenes at Oklahoma I didn't know about or he was just trying to get a raise.

[TrapGame]

Lot of chatter on Reddit with the LSU folks saying Bill O?Brien is top guy now.

I don't know if I like this one or not. Did a pretty good job at penn st considering.

O'Brien would be a safe hire but he won't scare the rest of the sec.

[smootness]

LOL if LSU hires BOB.

They just don't get it.

[Catfish]

They just don't get it.

I don't really see it happening.

[BrunswickDawg]

O'Brien would be an underwhelming hire - and I think he'd be gone in 3 years. We should hope this rumor is true.

[Commercecomet24]

I wonder if lsu is starting to hit that Tennessee syndrome. The rotating head coach every 3 years trying to recapture the magic

[VandelayIndustries]

Let’s hope

[Commercecomet24]

Let?s hope

Just theorizing probably crazy but some of these blue bloods are trying so hard to be bama that the expectations are becoming so unrealistic a lot of great coaches ain't gonna take it on. That's where I came up with Tennessee syndrome. After fullmer they've spent 2 decades trying to reproduce it and can't and just keep shuffling through mediocre coaches, because the good ones don't want it.

My opinion also.

Bama was the originator of "chasing the legend of Bama" during the 24 years between the Bear and Satan. They averaged a new coach every 4 years. Yeah, Stallings won a Natty and had them in the SEC title game every year - but it was never enough for them.

Seems to have worked out for them

[Todd4State]

Compared to Lincoln Riley I'm good with it. I didn't expect them to hire a Sylvester Croom.

[Todd4State]

Seems to have worked out for them

Until the next quarter century after Saban leaves.

[BrunswickDawg]

Seems to have worked out for them
Yeah, because they eventually found someone better than the Bear - which not every program will do.

I'd love to have Bama spend a quarter century wandering around in the wilderness and letting us get 7 wins against them again. The SEC was a lot more fun that way. If LSU continues down that path, it will make the west more fun as well.

Please please please. He sucks

[Tater]

Riley to LSU was a troll job.

Riley to USC has actual legs.

[HoopsDawg]

They just don't get it.

There's just no way.

[msstate7]

Lincoln Riley scared of the sec after what Ed O did to him

[Commercecomet24]

Lincoln Riley scared of the sec after what Ed O did to him

I think that's very possible

[dawgday166]

Other than being in LA, USC is the easier job and also should be able to easily recruit talent similar to SEC talent. Who want's to butt head in SECW and Saban every year, face GA is Championship game if you get there, and be fired in 3 years if you don't do both of those things.

Hell, LSU just fired Ogre 2 years removed from a Natty with one of those being a Covid year.

Exactly. SEC fans are insane. USC in comparison are laid back and they have been losing for so long it won’t take much to move things in the right direction. California is a great recruiting base.

[RocketDawg]

Wonder if USC offered as much or more than the rumored $12-$13M/year that LSU offered? If so, Bama's going to have to come up with a sizable raise for Saban to keep him at the top.

Dear Tiny Jesus, in your golden fleece diapers with your tiny, little fat balled up fists, please let this happen.

Amen.
