USC Coaching Search - Riley

[IASTATE07]

Urban Meyer to Oklahoma.

Now does Oklahoma go after Matt Campbell

[isufbcurt]

Wouldn't surprise me if they go after Josh Heupel from Tennessee

That's a good option too

 

[awd4cy]

Love it, hope OU falls into mediocrity in the SEC.

 

[RonBurgundy]

I think we need to have a "where are they now" 6-7 years down the road where all these teams that took the money and ran, ripped apart conferences, etc. how are they now?

I would like to see this with texas and OU.

He is smart to get out now...

Yep, OU had an awesome situation in the Big 12. But their greed could end up turning them into Nebraska.

 

[Die4Cy]

Should we be very worried about Oklahoma?

No. For the same reasons Riley is leaving, that is not an SEC job of choice. LSU a bigger threat.

 

[atlantacyclone]

They won’t have as many championships in the SEC!

maybe in basketball?

If I were to make a bet, I think for Texas and Texas A&M, not much is going to change, and then for everyone else who left...worse off.

I want this more than anything.

Texas will be Texas but the land burglars had 115 years of Big 8/12 history.

They deserve this fate.

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?)

 

[CycloneVet]

IF this is true, how cold-blooded is Riley? Last night saying he wasn't going to LSU and taking the USC job today.

He wasn’t lying

 

[isufbcurt]

Uh oh Duke coaching job is now open LOL

 

[Tornado man]

You can do that now and see it's not worked out for anyone but perhaps A&M has stayed as a middle of the pack program. Everyone else is on the losing side of things. But hey, they have more money?

Or those others have just hired the wrong head coaches.

 

[Aduhbolu15]

Campbell to OU.

 

[Pope]

OU won't go after Campbell because they have to hire someone who cheats. That's a requirement in the SEC.

 

[jsb]

He wasn’t lying

Right, but it is still pretty shady. I'm not sure what he should have done. But can you imagine if Campbell had said he wasn't taking USC but 18 hours later he took LSU? It's hard enough dealing with this **** now.

 

[theshadow]

Wouldn't surprise me if they go after Josh Heupel from Tennessee

In other words, getting a head start on the SEC coach-recycling program.

 

[awd4cy]

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.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

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