From an OU fan on rivals "Level 1 - He asked OU to match the USC money and they politely declined. He was too soft for the program and was never going to win a natty. He probably wouldn’t have transitioned into the SEC very well either, with his softness. DCs caught up with his offensive system and he couldn’t make adjustments. OU had to let him go and I commend them for making the hard decisions. Now they’ll go get a top defensive minded coach who will hire a top notch OC and away they go to more championships."
congratulations USC fans. College football message boards were pretty wild when yall we're awesome. Should be a heck of a ride with Riley in LA. Wow
Plus he said he wanted to go to a winning program that showcases their receivers. That wasn't Miami and the 2nd part doesn't describe UGA
At first I’m like why would a nfl coach leave a top nfl team and then realized he could double his money. But I guess it’s about what you want to do
Yeah no shit no one wants to take an SEC West job anymore. "Come kill yourself for a chance at intermittent success. We'll give you money." Cool to see perhaps the beginning of wealth-spreading? Can we interest a high-level coach in the soft bossom of the B1G West?
This is almost certainly Schefty doing a favor for Kliff's agent to get a later scoop. No way that's accurate.
I don't think that's accurate. Saw something last week about a few NFL coaches approaching $15-18 million a year
It’s not just that the conference and division are tough, but what are your other differentiators apart from yourself? LSU is a top tier but there are many things one can sell at USC that LSU doesn’t have, and you aren’t going to a place that lacks talent to do so.
Needs to show up to the press conference, and when they introduce him he unbuttons his shirt and has an Oklahoma tee on
One of my favorite side stories in this was that there was a bunch of smug OU fans who created accounts on tigerdroppings to thank LSU for getting their coach an extension with more resource commitments
No but we have more money any up and coming coach should/will run away after one look at our facilities
I feel like I’ll fuckin’, I’ll fucking pull your fucking tongue out your fucking mouth and stab the shit with a rusty screwdriver, BLAAAAOOOOWWWW!!!!
