Riley moving from Oklahoma to USC is at the bare minimum at lateral move. In my opinion, it’s a significant step backward and he should be being blasted for it. He’s running from the upcoming challenges that the SEC will be for OU and choosing the soft option out west where the competition is almost nothing, just like the interest in college football in the West. Whether he succeeds or fails, USC will never matter in the NCAA National Title picture.


L.O.L. You might think Riley is a huge vagina - which he is. But USC is a way better program than Oklahoma. In California he’ll have access to as much or more potential NFL talent as any school in America, including LSU. They are 2 recruiting cycles away from being a top 5 program if Riley can recruit like Pete Carroll did. There’s like 3,000 high schools in California. Think about that.

If he can recruit and coach, USC will be back on top in no time.

Pfft... It's going to be at least 5 to 10 years before Riley figures out how to build and run a defense.

I'm not sure Riley believes he's as good as the media gives him credit for being. I think he wanted the easier path to the CFP and definitely didn't want to stay at OU and enter the SEC. Think about the knock on OU vs. SEC recently.

He should have tons of success at USC and will have them dominating their conference. He's more than likely still going to struggle in the CFP with strong SEC teams but at least his talent will be much upgraded.

I think he's good, just not great as the media credits him. No excuses now, USC will make or break his career. BK also has no excuses and LSU will give him much upgraded talent to prove just how good he is.
