re: Lincoln Riley with LSU’s athletes

Here's some logic for you.

Some of the best DC's in the country HATE working for air raid coaches because their defenses stay on the field more and take all the blame when they lose.

If you care about your reputation as a DC or are looking to move up in the future, you don't want to get into shootouts every week and have your defense on the field 38 minutes per game.

You'd much rather work for a coach that controls the clock and takes pressure off the defense.

If you expect a Lincoln Riley team to suddenly become a defensive juggernaut because his team colors are different, you're delusional. A leopard doesn't change his spots.

I agree. What I think will likely happen is Riley will either come in and change his scheme to be more run oriented or he will have to change after the first season because SEC DCs and SEC athletes are too good and will expose his schemes.
