Looks like Lincoln Riley leaving was good for two programs

[Volbound1700]

Oklahoma and USC are both rolling right now. Looks like the change helped both schools.

But is he quietly building a mustard and ketchup beast?

 

[outofyourmind]

Both Schools needed a new Coach.
It worked out best for everyone.

And right now, both schools seem very happy with their new coach.

So win-win imo.

Nah

USC went all in on a dude notorious for shitting the bed in big games. They’re gonna regret that hire

So basically you are saying they hired Jim Harbaugh 2.0

I'm not sold on him yet, but will they really regret it if he at least improves the team to what he had at Oklahoma? They may have shit the bed in the playoffs, but he was at least getting them there. Which is a major improvement compared to majority of the Clay Helton/Sarkisian/Orgeron/Kiffin years.

With that said, I'm not willing to say they are close to that yet.

If a program and fanbase are satisfied with losing in the first round of the playoffs, they lose blue blood status IMO.

I’m not sure USC has a real enough fan base for them to really care

But also, Riley regressed every year he was at Oklahoma. The farther he got removed from Stoops, the worse his teams did

At least Harbaugh OWNS Ryan Day

Meh. There's room in between regret and satisfied.

I guess.

Kirby Ain’t Smart is smarter than Lincoln Riley though, and that should be a huge cause for concern

I'm not sold on them yet. But they do have an actual test this weekend with Oregon St.

bruh they have collectively played UTEP, Kent State, Nebraska, Rice, Stanford and Fresno State

OK played Tulane, W Carolina and Nebraska last year to the same results

Leave Iowa State out of this!

Let's Go State!

But at least Kiffin is the best coach in his state.

So, basically he’s the taint.
