Is Lincoln Riley really that good of a Coach?

lol this guy has had 3 first round QBs, including 2 being the top QB picked. He's also had a 1st rd WR, OL, LB.... but he hasn't proved to being able to develop talent? C'mon man..
Of the first round QB's, which one did he recruit and develop? I can think of 2, who is the 3rd?

Baker...nope
Kyler...Nope
Jalen...2nd round and nope
 
Worst thing for the SEC would be for USC to be back. So yeah, I agree.
Either he hasn't been able to get better in the weak Big12 or he has been mailing it in since he took over from Stoops. Either way, not a good look for him.

USC is simply a has been program that poses no real threat, especially not with a HC that regressed every year a blue blood program with far more recent success than USC. The Cali kids that are serious about football leave the state and for good reason.

Nope. Georgia is the state of champions.

Lincoln Riley kinda sorta looks like Sean McVay and met him that one time.

That's enough to make him a hot NFL commodity when the time comes

lol, he recruited them, no? Kyler was running around throwing INTs his one season in B/CS.. Baker did get to work with the number 1 QB whisperer imo, but he still got him to a heisman.. And he got Jalen a first rd selection, NOBODY thought he would be a 1st rd QB at Bama.

His name alone will draw a few top CA recruits. What he does with them will be the question.

Second time you have claimed this, and its not true. Nobody thought it and they were all right. :noidea:
 
Baker was a Stoops recruit and already there when Riley got there. Murray and Hurts he got from other schools. The one guy he did recruit and was the #1 qb in the Country Spencer Rattler got benched for the season. And the other #1 recruit he got Caleb Williams got benched against Baylor and lost 2 of his last 3 Big 12 games.
Oh boo hoo, Rattler got benched and so did Caleb, you are right.. LR was the problem. Lebby will fix all of this and of course the now beloved son, BV.

All this love for stoops when he chose the dumber sibling over BV.. and passed him over to LR. And make no mistake, LR saved Stoops
 
2/53
And only then because the Eagles are 1) dumb and 2) desperate.
still good enough.. If you want to criticize LR for being offensive minded first, then sure. He did take too long to make the switch at DC, but I'm sure he was doing bob a huge favor there.

This will be a good look back in 3 seasons
 
And USC used to get all the Mater Dei QB's. Hopefully, they get back to that.
They will, all those kids are trojans, took an epic meltdown for them to start leaving.

I'm not saying he can't coach or can't develop. I think he is given too much credit for both. It would be like handing me Bama next year and letting me play it out for 4 years. Sure I could take what Nick has built and not screw it up too bad in that time. I think Riley has done the same, and his jumping ship kinda supports my thinking.
