re: The top guys on the Reign of Troy (USC) forum say Lincoln is gone.

frick Riley. He had his chance last time and chose USC.

I woudn't feel any better about Riley than I did with BK TBH

It wouldn't be that good either

Same. I know his deal is ridiculous at USC so we would be paying a ton. Riley is soft. We need to return the LSU swagger and toughness.

If I had to guess, because OSU is the new Bama, and he hates the traveling.

I wouldn't melt, I'd just prepare for more 8-4

He doesn't know shite about the SEC or LSU, his teams are generally soft. He's 8-5, 7-6 in his last two seasons. 7-2 YTD.

I feel the same about he and Drink, just a lot of meh. I'd rather take a chance on a complete unknown than either of them.

They feel like weird fits that won't excite recruits/transfers/the fanbase, probably good football coaches, but not dynamic enough.

With Kelly, I felt like we were constantly driving on 7 cylinders, everything was hard. I think Riley/Drink just give us more of that. I don't expect to win every game but it shouldn't feel that hard all the time.

Who's your ace in the hole then?

I'd probably go Lane, then maybe a G5 guy like Golesh/Sumrall, then drop down to a coordinator level.

Maybe we give Riley better resources than USC/Oklahoma but I don't feel like it's drastically better, like you'd see with Ole Miss vs LSU.

If UF hires Riley it means Kiffin is coming to LSU
