re: My source: Lincoln Riley to LSU

I’m thinking OU will bring Stoops back. He built that program and handed it to LR, leaving on good terms. He was coaching in the start-up USFL, so you know he wants to coach again. He also knows the SEC landscape from his days at UF. To me, this is the only reason they would not match an LSU offer.

Agreed, I think that’s what they’ll do.

45+ year olds don’t talk like that

I think this is all bs but i still choose to believe both you and casto.

I'm personally taking the BilJ route at this point. New account with an OU flair saying that Woodward told him that Riley is a done deal? Yeah, that sounds like how Woodward rolls let's go.

that's actually believable. top flight coach being forced to cater to some snot nosed kid and his parents.

Would make the whole Nuss PR fiasco with Ed last weekend all the more curious, would it not?

I’m an LSU fan

Switzer, Gibbs, Blake, Stoops and Riley were all assistants prior to getting the head job, and all but Blake and Stoops were internal promotions.

You can go back even further. Bud Wilkinson and Chuck Fairbanks were both were young assistants when they were promoted to HC. Wilkinson, Jim Mackenzie, Fairbanks, Gibbs, Stoops, and Riley were all in their 30’s when they became HC.

Wilkinson and Fairbanks had only been on staff for a single season before they were promoted. Riley had been at OU for only two seasons.

Jim MacKenzie is a forgotten name. He played for Bear Bryant at Kentucky, got into coaching, and became a key assistant under Frank Broyles at Arkansas as he built them into a national power. He’s one of the outside hires OU has made. He brought Switzer with him from Arkansas and hired Chuck Fairbanks as OC. MacKenzie died of a heart attack after his first season. Fairbanks took over, then Switzer. No one remembers MacKenzie, but his coaching tree lasted for nearly 30 years.

Speaking of nuss. Ed needs to do us a fricking service and play the kid in some meaningful situations and not just once or twice. He needs to have at least 3 series per game here on out.

I don’t think the 40% completion percentage is who he really is. Players were dropping passes like crazy when he was in. His ball comes in hot compared to max . We need to know if it’s gonna be nuss and Howard competing for the job or if he’s a developmental type player

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha this is so bad it’s good

Jimbo to A&M is the only one I can think of

But that AD is here now

Indeed, he is.


I want to believe, but I'm prepared for the more likely outcome(s). As long as Woodward delivers a quality coach, I'll get over the emotional rollercoaster.
