I am not convinced Riley is as good as the media would have us believe. Something just gives me pause about him, can't put my finger on it.

Well, he has won lots of games and seems to be a top ten program every year. Not sure why you think he isn't a good Coach. I will say it's typical Big 12 football not to have decent defenses.Quote:

Riley is a better coach than Miles and O- and they won titles at LSU.
Do you know how beautiful that melt would be? the entire week they would all be walking about trying to figure out why their beloved head coach just bolted on them. and then they get absolutely creamed in the egg, then they loose all their recruits, then they get the death penalty because they suck so bad and no one wants to watch them anymore.Quote:

When you move over to the SEC, you aren't the biggest kid on the block anymore. Oklahoma isn't Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, or LSU. They walk in the conference to me as the 5th best situation and it's going to take years for them to try and change that and adjust to the SEC.
Re-establishing a school in a new conference sounds like the task a coach like Riley won't want. Too many variables that can affect his perception amd cause him to potentially lose his job.
If I were him I take LSU.
Oklahoma and texas have by far the greatest talent in the big12 and it ain't even close and lincoln will always stumble against a baylor or tcu etc who have worse talent than Mississippi state.Quote:

Prediction is he gets to lsu and goes 9-3 a few years and gets canned cause he cant beat saban
No argument there. Lincoln Riley at LSU would be a homerun hire, imo.Quote:

I think there are quite a few current coaches that could win national titles at LSU. The trick is finding the guy that can win multiple titles and win consistently.
There are currently five active head coaches that have won titles - and one of them is Ed Orgeron. Only two have won multiple titles. The biggest reason is because of Saban but I also think most coaches don't have the drive that they had early in their career when they start making tens of millions of dollars.
I think a question that coaches need to start asking themselves is "Where do I want to be coaching when Saban retires?" and LSU would be a great place to be.
This just sounds like wishful thinkingQuote:
