Can Someone Please Explain the Lincoln Riley Fascination?

He's won 50+ games before he's lost 10...

You don’t get it? Well let’s hear your choice? I am certain better than Lincoln amirite?

QB whisperer.

and never can field a defense.

I haven't seen anyone refute this. I haven't seen any evidence that he gives a shite about defense. I can see people crying about the defense a mile away.

And he's 1-3 in bowl games.

Because Lincoln Riley is a genius with quarterbacks and that's what it takes to be in the playoff hunt every year. So, you add one of the most brilliant offensive minds in all of football to an average LSU defense and the Tigers are the next dynasty after Alabama. That's why.

This has to be a troll

Lincoln Riley is an 8-4 coach in the SEC

Lincoln Riley is a premier coach for recruiting and developing quarterbacks for one. We obviously need someone that can do both. It's been a constant battle for LSU in that department for a long time. Burrow was developed by Ohio State and was an anomaly for LSU and you see the results. There is also the argument that Oklahoma doesn't attract as much talent on the defensive side of the ball as LSU does, and I'm personally in favor of that argument. Look at the recruiting rankings year in and year out for LSU vs Oklahoma on that side of the ball. It's pretty telling.

If you're confused by the fascination with Riley, who you do you want for the coach? Please don't tell me you're a Napier supporter and questioning a Lincoln Riley hire.

Riley is on of the best in the country.Just about any program would listen if we wanted to talk. Who’s better other than Saban, Dabo, Day and Urban ( even though he’s NFL for now).
