December 18, 20232 yr There's some scuttlebutt that Nelson has looked pretty bad. Edited December 18, 20232 yr by kevwun
December 18, 20232 yr I'm assuming Nelson kinda sucks because they're talking to the KSU QB in the portal. Aside from Caleb Williams, every player or recruit LR took with him from OU has been a bust or is now in the portal just two years later. More:
December 18, 20232 yr Im starting to fall into the camp that maybe Riley to the Chargers has some smoke and the kids are bailing. Also so far there has been no 100% on the KSU QB officially signing with USC yet

I think they will be better than that, he actually made some decent defensive hires in the offseason so I would imagine a decent jump on the defensive side of the ball. It wouldn't surprise me to see them only lose 2 or 3 games.
May 30, 20241 yr Okies hate Riley like they hate KD and Royal (after he turned down their offer when Bud Wilkinson retired). Their insecurity can’t handle it when somebody leaves them voluntarily.

It wouldn't surprise me to see them only lose 2 or 3 games. I agree that he made some solid defensive hires. That will help, but I don't see a real reason for 10-2 levels of optimism. 1) The main flaw with a Lincoln Riley program is that he truly doesn't give a shit about defense. He will continue to call the game he prefers and that will continue to put his defense on tilt due to pace. 2) USC lacks dudes right now. Per NFL scouts and college observers visiting practices, they don't have a ton of NFL talent the way they usually do. It's kind of a Texas 2010-2021 issue but with a genius offensive playcaller. 3) You are not giving their schedule its due, in my view. LSU on neutral ground requiring travel to open will be draining. Utah State is a multiyear bowl team and well-coached. Michigan will still have dudes in Ann Arbor. Wiscy, Nebraska, PSU and Notre Dame will all be fistfights. Minnesota, Rutgers, Maryland and UCLA will all be around bowl eligibility. There are a lot of ways to see them losing 4+ with that schedule. When a well-coached regular bowl participant from the P5 is your biggest lay-up, that's a tough 12 games. I will be surprised if they're better than 8-4 in the regular season. Vegas has their total at 7.5 so I guess they'd be pretty surprised as well.

November 3, 20241 yr Popular Post Ignore the haters Riley, you're doing great! You can't really evaluate a coach until at least year 15 so USC shouldn't make any rash decision.
November 3, 20241 yr I haven't watched USC much at all this year, but I'm guessing their demise is due to: 1) poor defense (always been Riley's weakness) 2) opposing defenses have adjusted to his offense and he has no answer 3) No all-world QB to save the day Edited November 3, 20241 yr by bschoolprof
November 3, 20241 yr If he does get fired, I wouldn’t mind him joining our staff as OC. He and Sark together would be insane.

November 3, 20241 yr Riley doesn't want to coach college football anymore. There was an article a while back about how he his mentor who got him into coaching and Mike Leach, who gave him his first coaching job, dying around the same time really put him into a bad mental state and he was tired of all the stuff that comes with coaching college football and how it causes him to miss out on time with his family and friends. He wants to coach in the NFL because it's much less of a grind and a time commitment outside of actually coaching ball. He fucked up his chance of getting an NFL job last year with how bad USC was so now he's just kind of in a void. Couple that with the fact that he also sucks at program building and you have a complete mess. Which is great because fuck Lincoln Riley.
