re: If it is Riley, is there a single comparable hire in modern CFB history?

Then people are going to make Woodward the scapegoat if he doesn't pull off literally the most difficult hire in modern history.
I won't criticize him of he fails to hire Riley. But I will criticize him vocally if his fixation on Riley or other marquee targets leaves us in a position where we have to hire a horrible back-up option. We'll see how it all turns out.

Money, power, and prestige. He's a much better offensive minded coach than both Miles or Orgeron, plus Saban is getting old and his defenses getting soft. He'll have Walker Howard carving up your Bama defenses like a sharp knife does a Thanksgiving turkey, and he'll have championship caliber defenses along with his offense.
Heck LSU should have beat your arses this season with a lame duck coach, medocre qb play, and a DC /OC that lacked real experience. Be very afraid of LSU with Riley, it's going to be a NEW day of reckoning in Death Valley.

Petersen guided the Broncos to two BCS bowl wins: the (2006 Season) 2007 and (2009 Season) 2010 Fiesta Bowls. He is the first two-time winner of the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award, which he won in 2006 and 2009. Petersen also won the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award in 2010. At Washington, Petersen led the Huskies to the College Football Playoff in 2016, but fell to Alabama in the Peach Bowl.
Fairly impressive pull, as well. And who pulled it off? Scott “Jody” Woodward.

But Fisher was defending and promoting a known rapist, his starting QB.

Fisher wasn’t doing well at the time though and his administration and him hated each other. OU is still near the top of the CFB world and OUs program is on a different level than FSU despite the Bowden years.
This would be a much bigger coup. But I’m still not sure it’s possible.

That’ll be Bama post Saban. I’ll take a couple of bad seasons over aimless wandering in the desert crying about the good ol’ days.

We already went thru that with post Bryant era.
Not every school has only had one decent coach.

Well there's some that say it has to be Riley. Those are the ones that are going to lose their shite if this doesn't happen. If it has to be Riley, then you have to see it through to the end and risk being in a worse position.
I see a lot of people having fun with the whale hunting references. People seem to forget that whaling is an inherently dangerous activity. There's risk when you aim for major targets. If we want a sure thing, go for someone that'll sign on the dotted line today.

Except.. ya know.. Saban and Urban had won a national title and Lincoln Riley’s team can barely beat Tulane.
Why you all are jizzing yourselves to take this mediocrity away from Norman is anyone’s guess.

Yah.. sure..
Again, reality is that Oklahoma is absurdly mediocre in a shite conference.
I’ll let you all get back to your fan fiction.

Watching people try to argue Riley being mediocre into existence because LSU is looking at him is the epitome of fan fiction

Regardless of whether LSU actually hires him, you’re a special kind of stupid, willfully ignorant, or hate LSU that much if you actually believe he’s mediocre

Riley+LSU is stout af and he knows this.
This hire essentially squelches the Kiffin hire.

So who else has won anything besides Saban or Fisher? Aranda? Nope. Napier? Nope. As long as it's between Riley, Aranda and Napier I'll be fine with it.
