I think false but even if he does he’ll crash and burn there like always.

This isn't just sour grapes as I never thought he was actually coming to LSU, but i think Riley flames out like every other coach at USC and is fired before year 5.

He doesn't have the grit and determination that's gonna be required to completely turn around the culture there, and he has no idea how to rebuild from the ground up since he inherited a well-oiled machine from Stoops at OU. If he couldn't get over the hump at a blueblood like OU, how will he at a floundering USC that hasn't sniffed success in the last decade?

I just don't feel like he's a good fit there culturally or ability-wise, and this hire legitimately surprises me the most.

I think LSU was focused on the wrong coach from Oklahoma the whole time, maybe they should be considering hiring a second coach away from Oklahoma State instead.

Gundy would KILL IT at LSU with a good DC, and he's considered other jobs multiple times before. If I'm Woodward, I'm making a last minute all-out play for him.

True. It will be much easier to get to the playoffs in the Pac-12 or 16, than the SEC. There really isn’t the level of competition vs the SEC where he would be fighting, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Texas, Texas A & M and Auburn every year. I’m sure his love is triggered more by OK joining the conference than a desire to go to LSU.

RILEY BENEFITED FROM WEAKASS BIG_12 Schedule and teams.

Loved his trolling and the OU /LSU fans hysteria

False

It will be in year 4, 5, or 6, and they will lose to an SEC or Big 10 team by 17+.
