Who would’ve thought OU would be a stepping stone job…
Riley to USC apparently.. anyone else see this?

The pitcher must be LSU.USC right now:
Heupel or Cale Gundy

Tom. Herman.
Spot on WestSideLion. Stoops and Riley have done a great job but they were in the Big12 - which is a weak conference. The future for Oklahoma looks 1930s Grapes Of Wrath dust bowl bleak.
But do they have scones? That could be a deal breaker.
My guess is that Kingsb….stays with Cardinals
What a massive power play by USC.
At first, I wondered why bounce from Okie to USC? Sure, the money's always a factor. But the road to the CFP is about 5 times easier at USC in the Pac-12 than it would be at OU in the SEC with Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Texas, A&M, Auburn & Tennessee.
But, wow, congrats to USC for pulling off the coup. College football is better when USC is at full strength representing the West.

If Iam Mike Gundy at OKST…I grab several OU verbal comits….OKST was in the hunt for several OU kids.
LSU dumping ED O. three years post NC is not a good look for any potential HC
OU going to the SEC is football suicide.
Only difference is OU may be more patient with a new HC.

Recall when Sekrah had everyone talking about Penn State pulling off a "moonshot" hire. The thought at the time was Les Miles, IIRC. Think things worked out better with Bill O'Brien and then James Franklin who won the B1G in 2016. Other names rumored at the time were Mark Richt at Georgia, David Cutcliffe at Duke and Jon Gruden according to Art who said the buyout clause broke the deal.
Anyway, Lincoln Riley should qualify as a "moonshot" hire for USC. Bill O'Brian is still out there and people keep saying Matt Rhule may re-enter the ranks. And there's always Urban Meyer hanging in the balance.

If Stoops comes for the bowl, it seems likely his rumored return to coaching will be his old job.
Riley’s recruiting classes ranked something like 7th, 8th, 5th, 16th and currently 13th. He won with his players too. He’s going to kill it at USC. Maybe he takes Williams with him?
^^^ This ^^^ It's the smart move. Weak conference, great tradition, and lots of nearby talent. He should do well.
He may be right but I've never heard of any OU fans saying that while Riley's been there. Now that he's leaving all of the sudden they want to make him into someone riding coattails of others. Salty indeed.....
I think college football will also be better off if one of these incoming SEC teams can challenge Alabama in the SEC.
PSU doesn't know what it wants. For years, it let Joe define it and now that he's gone it has no sense of direction. It's reverted into become a nice little club where everyone can comfortably socialize until every so often Franklin comes around and kicks over the apple cart.
Hahahahahahahahahaha. Kliff is going to win NFL Coach of the Year. He’ll get a big extension from Arizona. This is classic scorned booster narrative.
Aranda and Baylor are reported to be working on an extension.
That would be interesting. You would think if they can get Jimbo it would be announced soon since the season is over for him besides bowl game
So this guy knows Sekrah?
Haven't you heard...PSU wants stability, and James leads with love.
Personally, I prefer that he leads with fundamentals and discipline.
Two words: Song Girls
Urban Meyer's thumb just went up.
Just think of how much it's going to cost to redo all of those wall treatments in Lascjh if Franklin ever leaves....or maybe the nest guy will come from the Michael Jackson school, too.Haven't you heard...PSU wants stability, and James leads with love.

Kliff Has one year left on his contract.. He has one of the best QB in the league, and one of the best WR and is 9-2. He is working on Arizona extending him with his agent saying this.
Word is Riley was not a fan of the SEC move. Anyways, home run hire by USC. They will be back to contending for the playoffs in a few years with Linc going there.
Now what will Williams do? PSU was in on him, USC has a few high QB recruits committed for the next few years. if he transfers I hope PSU is considered.
I'm beginning to think USC used Franklin to put pressure on Riley.
So many posters were so upset with Franklin because he didn't issue a definitive statement saying he isn't leaving Penn State but he is staying. Lincoln Riley made a very definitive statement Saturday night that he wasn't leaving and now Sunday he is leaving. I think that there are a lot of people on this board who like to complain about things and really don't know how good they have it.
