BREAKING: Lincoln Riley leaving OU for USC

[Joe Sixpack]

Maybe he shouldn’t be a p*ssy

He’s joining a monster conference this isn’t the NFL where a team can lose 3,5,6 or even 7 games and still get to the playoffs…He’s goin up against Saban

Oklahoma is dumb for this

Yeah these “you need to be loyal to your job” people are the worst.

How? He’s leaving for a better job. This is a business he doesn’t OU anything

I clearly said he can leave for a better opportunity. Can y'all read? Not sure how much more plain that can be stated

But he lied the entire season. He lied to everyone from players to the administration to most of his asst coaches to recruits and parents. And he clearly tanked late in season so he could go out the door immediately and avoid having the 2022 class sign with OU, thus taking them with him to new school.

Leave if you want, that's cool. But you can EASILY do it in a better way that doesn't involve screwing everyone over

Saban is towards the end of his career it’s not like he’s catching him while he’s young. That’s where you gain respect for Harsin,Coach O, Jimbo, Sam Pittman, Lane, etc them guys werent scared

Its NOT the same when your coach is the head coach AND OC. It's different. That effects EVERYTHING. When Bob Stoops left we didn't lose anyone bc Riley was OC.

Like they said, only other example is Jimbo doing it to fsu

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

Venables to OU

 

[Silkk]

If 10-2 is him “tanking” OU’s season then I can’t wait for this mofo to get started

5 star qb 2023 recruit just decommited

 

[malbaker86]

You're also a man, born and raised in the South, that hates UGK. Why are you like this?

lmaoooooooo. Im built different

I do agree he probably didn't wanna be in the SEC.

But the "scared" talk I don't really get that...he left for one of the best jobs in the country to live by the beach and be a God in Los Angeles (if he wins).. I could see the argument if he just left for ANY non-SEC team, but USC is a different beast.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Oklahoma is at fault here. They’re going to the SEC which is a mistake. They’re greedy as hell. If they would’ve stayed in the Big 12 Riley doesn’t make this move

You’re going to have to beat the SEC to win a championship no matter where you coach at

 

[Swiggy]

He’s leaving to be more comfortable as a liberal?

It’s not like USC has been kind to coaches either, Pete Carrol was great but he’s one of the better coaches of this generation, outside of him everyone else has been mediocre or failed at USC, you can point out the recruiting he’ll do at USC but Lincoln was getting crazy amount of talent to come play for him at OU and he still wasn’t winning the big games
