We could double that, or more.

Make him say no.

Does Bob Stoops handle play calling at OU?

Feel like OU offense is usually pretty solid regardless of their OC.

Also heard Riley is a great interview.

If he brings a binder, he gets the job.

This is LSU dude... Joe will run at the first sign of a counter from Oklahoma.

Regardless of what anyone thinks about the O hire itself, I have to think almost everyone, including O, would agree that his entire tenure at his "dream job" will hinge on this decision.

He has to at least make a call to Riley, Canada, all the top OCs.

He's staying to coach his Heisman hopeful QB

Does he make the final call. Don't forget his boss's job may also be on the line with this hire. Of course F King and his politician friends also want in on the decision.

We're headed for a power struggle and the only guaranteed losers in the end will be the players and fans.

No. Stoops was a defensive coordinator before becoming HC

Or he can come coach a Heisman hopeful RB!

Riley and Aranda might just be enough to make Saban break a sweat

Throw the bank at him, but I don't see him leaving. He's got one more year until he lands the big job. He's a Texas guy and there's a Texas school in the SECW that is probably going to come open next season and he'd be the leading candidate I'd suppose.

Ok, let me get this straight. People don't want Helfrich because he runs a "soft" offense. But you guys want Riley who is a Mike Leach/Air Raid disciple?

Why would LSU want someone like Riley? He is head coaching material. If he doesn't get a head coaching job somewhere this year, he for sure will next year!

We didn't get the best candidate for HC either. Alleva will pay up for assistants but not coaches.

I don't really see why he would leave. If he doesn't get a HC job this year, he's certainly going to get one next year. And his system is already in place in a league with weaker defenses.

OU runs more than throw.
Watch more college football.
OU and LSU had the same rush yards per game this year.
Spread and air raid are not the same.
He has adjusted to the personel he's had, which is what good coaches do

Then OU matches and Alleva takes his ball and goes home. We already have an OC here! And he's one a us!!
