2021 Coaching Carousel picking up riders…

[Dizzy21]

i think that was washington st

Looks like it is, I guess they both had interim head coaches, which confused me here.

Ed O said thanks but no thanks to hanging around for a bowl game. He's packing up and heading to Destin.

I don't know why, i expect this dude to flop after hearing him talk the other day for 1st time. That conference is impossible for most young guys.

 

[Pudge]

a priori

Would you look at Joe Moorhead, Kirby Smart, Shane Beamer, Musgrove, Josh Heupel, Sam Pittman or others ... and think one would rise above the others or not?

You are right, That conferences eats the heart out of guys with great resumes and success elsewhere. I think it is the ultimare octagon.

Kirby Smart is the outlier and what everyone hopes they are hiring. Most teams end up with Will Muschamp. I said this before Florida is running the risk of becoming Texas. Paying big buyouts on top of huge salary to their HC because they're too inpatient. I think Mullen like Herman should have gotten another year. Their records seemed to warrant it.

Well, he didn’t say anything about USC last night…

Wow. Cashout before the upcoming SEC gauntlet I guess. I think its a smart move tbh.

 

[How Sway?!]

Was not expecting this. Thought he would only leave OU for the NFL

 

[UConnJim]

USC is the top program in PAC 12, Oklahoma was the top dog in the Big 12, and Oklahoma is about to become a middle of the pack SEC program. No brainer move by Riley.

I dunno it's also cashout before your university athletic budget becomes higher than the GDP of most countries. Cuts both ways.
But yes easier to be successful at SC given the current state of the PAC, and to make the CFP.

LSU got rid of O two years after winning the national title. I understand there were other factors there, but those other factors would have remained in the dark if he was winning at the acceptable level. The SEC has unrealistic expectations and Oklahoma was not going to run through that league like they did the Big12.

 

[Pudge]

USC can be a Top Program in the Pac12

So could Washington, Oregon, UCLA ... and maybe Utah or Stanford.

There's nothing structural about USC that makes it comparatively beyond the others. I dunno what is going on with Chip Kelly - and I have watched a half dozen games (one in person as a alum). But there is nothing in my mind that automatically gets you back to the Platform that Pete Carroll had. Lincoln Riley has to be special to chin his way beyond, I don't think we have seen the best of Cristobal.

Riley has proven to be a superior offensive coach. I think he will crush it at USC.

You mean other than being located in the 2nd or 3rd best HSFB region and having a long tradition of CFB success and national titles.

That's a whole lotta nothin.

 

[Vowelguy]

Does Caleb Williams follow Riley to SC?
Or return east to Clemson or Ohio St perhaps

 

[noeynox]

Great coach. Just looks worn out from the grind. He's almost 70.

 

[Durks07]

 

[ktuck911]

Joe Moorhead fit here perhaps??? I can't stand Puke, I mean Duke, but, why not?????

 

[traitor71]

He was a great fit for them. He was always a good offensive mind, and he rolled out some competitive teams there. He was probably as good as they could have had.

 

[JMick]

I didn't think Riley would actually leave.

 

[noeynox]

You sound like Moorehead's agent. There is certainly no shortage of jobs this year.

Next qb for the fighting MORA dogs...
