Lincoln Riley to USC✌️🤺
- Thread starter Poolside Knight
- Start date
The coaching carousel is going to be really interesting this year.
No way they go after Heupel just because he's their golden boy. That would be a golden ticket up the football ladder, before proving himself. That would be a Willy Taggert move for the money.
It's hard not to think that Fickell will end up with one of these jobs. The pool isn't all that deep this year and he's the big catch of 2021.
They were already burnned by Heupl before. I can't imagine they do it again.
He would be a fool not to. That is a great job, with one of the best athletic directors in the country.
Road to championship is easier in pac 12 vs sec. Money is probs a lot better too.
And Oklahoma is a shitty place to live to boot.

Riley is from Lubbock TX so I'm thinking it has little to do with the location. My family and friends here in OK are all from out of state but love it. And I've heard multiple interviewees say they want to move back to the midwest after taking jobs in other regions. Plus OKC (indistinguishable from Norman) is a good sized, clean city with some excellent bars and restaurants.
Fickell is not staying. He is handling his current job the right way by staying loyal to his players and team. He will take another job come January.
All coaches lie and say they aren’t leaving. Riley did yesterday. Oklahoma and Ohio are not close or similar but money talks. Fickell would take LSU first though.
Riley didn't lie, he said he wasn't going to LSU
This is a typical Mike Bianchi Tweet. He's always trying to stir the pot. Nothing wrong with that I know he follows this board. I just don't see it happening, but if it does the Tennessee fans will be angry. They are still not over Kiffin running out on them. Now that is a spin for a story Mike.
It's crazy that Oklahoma's 2nd highest rated recruit this year is from Cali and 3 of the top 4 in 2023. I wonder if they will follow Lincoln, have to assume so
Oklahoma will be a below average team in the SEC.
He left on top and while he had leverage.
When they join the SEC and go 5-7 for a few years he would lose all his leverage. He had no choice.

got his payday while he looked good as well. smart smart man
or he just rather live in Manhattan Beach while coaching College Football. He did what I thought Frost should have done if he stayed 1 more year and what was the ‘It’ young coach at the time
Yup, the expectations for a coach in the SEC is so high can you blame him for bailing out. Smart move.
I would think they would have to realign the SEC divisions once the 2 added teams out West join. They would have to be in the West division I would think. Probably take Auburn and Alabama and place them in the East and stick Missouri out West also? I’d have to look at a map, it may make sense to even out the divisions and not have such a West heavy conference, ending the cupcake East.
Oklahoma could still be good in SEC with good QB play. Most of their best recently have been transfers. It should be pretty easy for new coach to get good transfers if they get an offensive head coach.
My thought. The East was already significantly weaker and UF has been complaining about LSU as their annual rival. They might have to wait for Clemson and UNC to go to four 4 team pods
This is too good to be true. Texas and Oklahoma get super greedy and chase the money to the SEC, which opens up the door for UCF to get into the P5. Texas is down and the road to glory just got a lot harder. Oklahoma’s coach says peace out and now they are in a bit of a mess with players bailing. Both programs had it made in the Big 12, now it’s gonna be a STRUGGLE to get into the playoffs for them. All the while, UCF and the rest of the Big 12s paths all got easier. Wow.
Until ESPN decides to go a Power 1 with four divisions: East, South, Pacific, & North
