Would Lincoln Riley make everyone happy?

I've yet to see a candidate that everyone agrees on, but though he's not my first choice, he's a very close second. I'd be elated with Lincoln Riley.
For those of you whose first choice isn't Riley, would you at least be happy with that hire?
**I don't want to hear it's not possible. It's a hypothetical thread**

Lol you couldn’t make our entire fan base happy if you had Saban as HC, Sean McVey as OC and Mike Vrabel as DC.

I think Lincoln would cause the smallest melt out of all candidates

Do not want

NO

Absolutely. I bet he’d make Max Johnson, Garrett Nussmeier and Walker Howard very happy too.

He is the biggest slam dunk possible.

I think everyone would been on the Riley train.

Yeah, not only would he be a great hire for his coaching and recruiting but it would be a major bump in our perceived prestige to take the coach from Oklahoma. I think we would have a much better chance if they weren't about to enter the SEC.

I’ve seen better coaches in the Quad and Vrabel’s elbows are too pointy. Hard pass

I think he's another coach of many that could have success here. I question as to why he hasn't gotten it done at Oklahoma. He's been getting stomped in the playoff and has had some really bad losses. What's missing? Where's the issue? Can those things be better at LSU and why will they be if so?

I’ll play the contrarian, both Brady and Aranda schemed circles around Riley in the 2020 semifinal 63-28 beat down. You shouldn’t make a hire based on one game but total body of work, but Riley couldn’t adjust to either side that evening in Atlanta.
I’d be ok with Riley, but he’ll need an elite DC to win the SEC at LSU. Recruits well, no question. He’s also the beneficiary of dominant program in the weakest of the P5 conferences.
I know most here value HC experience, but give me Brady who has NFL experience and his “they can’t frickin stop it” Texas play calling.
There is no college DC that can throw something at LSU that Brady hasn’t seen in the NFL to adjust.
Aranda schooled Riley that night in Atlanta as well, watch the Baylor OU game this year.

His playcalling and offense obviously helped them achieve these things, but we aren't going to have that most years. He's not exactly killing it in Carolina. We need a guy that keeps the train moving when a wheel falls off.

He has had some of the worst defenses in all his years...that will a no for me dawg...good offensive guy tho...
Posted on 10/19/21 at 7:28 pm to Laman1978
Would make me happy AF. Don’t really care about the rest of y’all

Understandable opinion, it’s why I can’t wait to reevaluate in 2030 on his trajectory. Brady, to me feels like Spurrier in 1987.
If Al Gore had invented the internet by then most here would argue for Archer and criticize Spurrier for small sample set at Duke!

Seems to be the least melty choice along with Fickell…but to answer ur question, no one would make everyone happy…he’s my #1 fwiw

That is the same logic as people who were mad when we hired Saban, because Dinardo destroyed his MSU team in the Independence bowl!
