re: I'm pro-Riley, but a lot of coaches could do what he has done at Oklahoma

Crediting a coach for individual player awards is bullshite.
In O’s case where it was a one time thing you have a point. Riley turned a freaking walk-on into a heisman winning NFL caliber QB. He did the same with a backup transfer QB that couldn’t make it at A&M. Lastly, he took a backup Bama game manager run first QB and now he’s a starting NFL QB.
get your head out of your arse.

Have we? Because that opportunity rarely happens.
Elite jobs almost never come open when the program is on top. Coaches usually drift into mediocrity and get fired/forced into retirement or leave the program in NCAA trouble. A coach leaving the program in elite condition is extremely rare.
It's happened the following times in the last 20 or so years:
LSU: Saban to Miles (maintained)
Florida: Spurrier to Zook (failed)
Miami: Davis to Coker (ultimately failed, but did great for 3 years, won a title and made another NC game)
Florida: Meyer to Muschamp (failed)
Ohio State: Meyer to Day (maintained)
Oklahoma: Stoops to Riley (maintained)
Florida State: Bowden to Jimbo (maintained)
There may be some examples I'm forgetting.
I would say the track record of maintaining the program when handed an elite program on top is extremely good.
