Shocking Lincoln Riley Lying Again

Lincoln Riley's history at OU. Take it for what it's worth but the Oklahoma fans were sensing a trend that the program was going downhill and then BOOM! He was gone. The only constants with him are a good offense, a pitiful defense and playoff losses. I don't know if Brent Venables will do better but at least the recruiting is great so far. Let's wait and see if the wins come next.

2017 Win the conference and lose close in the playoff
2018 Win the conference and lose big in the playoff
2019 Win the conference and get the living shit beat out of us in the playoff
2020 Win the conference and not make the playoff
2021 Lose the conference and not make the playoff then quit
2017 - mostly Stoops recruits
2018 - probably 60-40 Stoops recruits to Riley recruits
2019 - maybe 40-60 Stoops to Riley recruits
2020 - mostly Riley recruits
2021 - all Riley

This is the best you've got? They were all Riley's coaches under his leadership from 2017 to 2021 so there goes 90% of your excuse. Riley also had multiple Heisman winners and a butt load of 1st Team All=Americans during his time at OU. There goes your second excuse. And the playoff opponents just kept beating us worse each time because we were a one trick pony. It had absolutely nothing to do with the "recruits". Swing and a miss.

Geez, what a crybaby

LMAO Riley screwed the pooch at OU. He left. We're moving forward with another HC. We'll see if it turns out better. But you'd have a hell of a time finding many OU fans who would want to have him back knowing what we do now. Dude had 4 playoff appearances at OU and never got past the first game. It's going to be interesting to see if he can do better at USC, assuming he stays there for a few years.

Of course you're better off without that dweeb, I was agreeing with you that he sucks

I feel like he was arguing for you. Wasn't he saying the teams go progressively worse as they became all Riley's recruits?

It could be and if so my apology. We had the offensive talent every year Riley was at OU but the defensive talent was certainly lacking and poorly coached by Alex Grinch.

Yeah, it's the classic argument against a new coach. "He only did well with the previous coach's players"

I mean, it's hard to complain about making the playoffs three straight years while winning four consecutive conference titles. Only a handful of schools can gripe about something like that. Sure wish I could... :pout:
 
At least Bob brought in decent defensive talent occasionally.

That bitch fucked over our recruiting with a 80/20 offensive-centered split of money and resources while he was here, WHICH I POINTED OUT HERE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS and then was whispering to OU commits (all offensive) that he was bolting.

I'm very over it buuuuuut him going on whomever's talk show trying to get pity for his snakey ass is really hilarious.
Even more hilarious is any DC or defensive position coach taking that cash knowing full well they aren't going to field a defense that can compete.
Take that cash and fuck over your reputation? Butch Jones will have an advisor job ready for you.

There's a right way to do things, and a wrong way....and there's also a devious shithead way.
Yall can call it butthurtedness or whatevs...but I'll call it by its name.
 
Hey
Riley didn't want to be here.
That's ok.

There was never going to be a good way to leave.

I think all parties are better off.


Moving on.

See, that's what I was asking Sooners fans back when he first left (not you, I think this is what you've said all along)....what's the good way to leave?

No one ever answered.

If a coach is successful and leaves, at least some of the teams fans are going to be upset. Doesn't matter "how" he does it.

Hell, Tennessee fans damn near had a riot over Lane Kiffin leaving and he hadn't been Sabanized yet and wasn't a good coach.

In Riley’s situation he quit on the team, period. He didn’t finish out the year. No problem with people moving on, just don’t quit then lie about if.

lol

Ok.
 
We've had 3 Head Coaches quit and go to another job.

Jim Tatum left and went to Maryland after the 1946 season, and won a National Championship there.
Next Coach up, Bud Wilkinson

Chuck Fairbanks left to coach the New England Patriots after the 1972 season.
Next Coach up, Barry Switzer

Lincoln Riley left to coach USC
Next Coach up, Brent Venables



The point being, it all works out.
