Why in the f*ck everybody keeps talking about "he's ducking the SEC" when OU and Texas don't join that conference until 2025. Riley would've been gone long before that anyway. If not USC or LSU then somewhere else :gucci:
The prevailing belief has been that TX and OU would come to some financial agreement with the Big 12 to be able to move sooner than 2025 (most likely 2023).

CFB coaches are also huge egomaniacs. I think it pissed him off that he was included in these discussions about moving to the SEC.

If you're gonna get the highest salary you have to get the highest results.
Being culturally relevant aint worth 15 mil a year.
Championships or bust.
He hasn't proven he can get to the game yet but he's getting a "i won it multiple times" paycheck.
This aint the old days where a top 5 finish is "acceptable" nobody who's anybody cares about a top 5 finish when there's a system in place that gives the top 4 a chance to win it. Thats minor league shyt

OU has been in the playoffs though like 4 of the 6 years and always in the mix. 98% of schools would EASILY take that.

USC is a better job than OU no question but people ignoring the conference realignment like that’s not a factor arent being genuine. I’m not saying OU is going 7-5 or 8-4 every year in the SEC but they are going to have to adjust. They can have a top 10 recruiting class and still not have the best recruiting class in their own division in the SEC. I think it was definitely a factor IMO

very true. But it's also interesting that TXAM has been better in the SEC so far than during the last 10 years of them in the Big 12.

Texas gonna be jobber status regardless until dem old cac boosters get out the way.....which they won't anytime soon by the way. :mjlol:

ATL…overly
It’s a factor but that’s also assuming that things stay static and which isn’t likely. Once Saban is gone the conference is back wide open.

People have been saying that for 10 years tho…of course nothing lasts forever but when Bama was down Florida/LSU/Auburn was dominant. So yea it’s cyclical but that Bama machine isn’t slowing down anytime soon

As long as Saban there... :francis:

But the minute he retires.... rest of the league will be :blessed:


Question is who takes that job afterwards? Never wanna be the guy following the guy. They'd make an all out assault for Dabo I assume right @portcityplaya ???

The talent that Linc can keep at home in SoCal alone on defense will have him better. This could get ugly esp the defense becomes good. That will be the key.
