I can’t comprehend people too stupid to think that Riley just doesn’t care about defense. I mean, that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. Of course he cares about defense—it’s half the game. He’ll have not only access to much better defensive players, but LSU has a culture of great defense that Riley is gonna be the benefactor of. He doesn’t have to set that culture—it already exists. As long as he makes the right hires on the defensive staff and recruits the studs in and around Louisiana. I didn’t think he’d leave OU. But if he does, it’s ONLY because he knows he can win, and win big. And a huge part of that will be the defensive culture he inherits and build upon to supplement his offense.

He’s not gonna CHANGE LSU from a hard-nose defensive cultured team to a soft offensive one, he’s gonna KEEP the defensive culture and ADD the offensive fire power. If he does it right, we could go on a nice run of top 10 offensive and defensive units that frick motherfrickers up.


Yeah man, his defense is gonna all of a sudden be good because that’s the culture at LSU. And his concern will be keeping that culture and not focusing on what naturally comes to him. He’ll want to make sure he keeps LSU fans happy by continuing the culture he doesn’t give a shite about

You nailed it

You know what else they had, a solid defense.


OU's defenses have actually been close to on par with LSU 2019's.

Example:
OU 2021 scoring defense = 24/gm
OU 2020 scoring defense = 21/gm
OU 2019 scoring defense = 27/gm

LSU 2019 scoring defense = 22/gm

It would seem OU's defenses under Riley aren't that crappy after all.

Oklahoma is the strongest team in a WEAK conference..Riley has riden that wave to the playoffs then gotten spanked by the big boys.. Not super excited about this...his defenses are sub par..You can't win the SEC without defense.

If only there was an answer for that problem that involved having the money to hire the best Defensive Coordinator possible at the same time Riley concentrates on offense.

What a wonderful world that might be?
