Your paying for Alabama type results though. Riley hasn’t shown to be in that tier. He’s playing a 4 loss team.


Woodward isnt paying all that extra money for results. He’s paying all that extra money for Riley to put Oklahoma in his rear view mirror. That’s how his value is being measured; supply and demand.

That isn’t how this works.

He wins the big12 because he has more talent than 80% of the teams in the conference.


No one ever held that against nick Saban or urban Meyer

Good one.

Anyone else?

I’m not asking to be a dick genuinely curious. My cfb knowledge gets pretty limited before 2005 or so



Jimbo, Dabo did well at their first jobs.

Yea because they actually play schools like UM, Ohio st, A&M, Cal, and Oregon.

He is you fool. They are 8th in scoring offense this year. I'm sorry the offense hasn't played well in the two games you've actually watched.

They are playing a backup qb right now. Heck he’s not even the best coach in this game.

I’d say he’s starting a true freshman, but apparently on this board, QBs are supposed to come straight out of high school and win national championships immediately as soon as they step on the field after starting 4 games.

Isn't roster management part of the HC job? Is Rattler a Freshman? Why isn't Rattler prepared to outperform the freshman?

Riley is a fraud handed a top program that he take further. OU roster ranked at least 25+ spots higher than ISU. Essentially, 4&5* vs 3*

I think he meant coaches through their first four or five seasons, especially one as young as Riley.

Jimbo had a NC win at season 5.

How has he done in his career against good defenses?

OU beat UF in a NY6 bowl last year.
Lost to Bama by 11 in the CFP.
Lost to UGA in 2OT in the CFP the year UGA should have won the NC.

Better question, how has Lincoln done vs equally or more talented teams?

Those are three pretty good examples, no?

Riley has been HC for 5 years and has only lost 9 games. Three of those losses were in the CFP against teams that did or should have (UGA) won the NC.

What are Alabama results?
And what other coach has shown that?

Name your coach that is tier one, Saban money? We’ll wait.
If there's no coach worth Saban money, why are we going to pay some one Saban money?

I like Riley. He's a good coach, but he has some deficiencies. That means he's not a sure thing. My concern is not so much the pay rate, but the duration of the contract. If he gets some 8 to 10 year deal at $12 million or up with some massive buyout, we are going to be stuck with him for quite a while.

I prefer Aranda. I think he's better than Riley. Some may disagree with that, but for the overwhelming majority the difference shouldn't be that big. We can probably get Aranda at half the price on a deal over a 5 year term or so with some incentives. There's flaws with Aranda too, but if he doesn't work out we can afford to buy him out and try again.
