His teams have been a joke and non competitive. Why do LSU fans want him?

If this is the standard you are going to use, who are you going to hire?

You said it yourself.

What other candidate has multiple playoff appearances?

He just cant compete with the SEC with talent esp on the D side of the ball.

like someone said in another thread, why would he come here if OU is joining the SEC? I would love to have him here but I feel like OU would match what ever we would offer and we cant use the SEC card any longer.

Exactly. Don’t want any of them.
Neither does Woodward. He gets proven winners. Pay attention.

It’s pretty common dumbass logic used by a lot of posters.

Example: hot coach loses a game at current program. “You guys seriously want this coach, LOL”

Let's not pretend that Fickell or Aranda or Kiffen or Freeze or Franklin or a number of coaches on the supposed list wouldnt have made the playoffs multiple times at OU. OU plays a trash schedule, typically loses to a team they shouldnt during the season, and gets beat down in the playoffs.

Could try using your own brain just a little bit. I know it's hard.

he has a disadvantage in overall talent against those teams.

i believe he can recruit even better talent, especially defensively at LSU.

the whole reason why i could see him leave ou for lsu

Also, look at their games:

Double OT loss to UGA
Loss to Alabama
Loss to LSU

It isn't like they are losing to shite teams.

To be fair, he is in an extremely weak conference. Had Oklahoma been in the SEC all those years, they would not have even come close to sniffing the playoffs.

Anyone who thinks Riley would be anything but a phenomenal hire is exposing themselves as a moron.

I am so glad you have zero input on the coaching search. Riley is the best hire LSU can make outside of Saban.

My only issue with him is, for whatever reason, his defenses have been horrible. This was supposed to be the year they were going to have a better than average defense, yet they continue to struggle. This could be contributed to a Big 12 mindset and/or lack of talent, but it is something he would need to address to be successful in the SEC.

Regardless, I would hire him in a heartbeat if we could.

Except he has. I mean he’s been there and went to OT with UGA.

This is like being gifted a Ferrari and bitching that it doesn’t have leather seats.
