I remember SEC is scared of Riley

I think the majority of Alabama fans mostly like OU. I think we have a lot in common.

He looks like a pretty good coach to me that may need to replace a few assistants. I think the days of firing decent coaches in the middle of the season, with a 50+ million buyout are mostly over since you have to pay 20+ million for players every year, plus hiring a new staff. OU has been patient with Venables. Makes sense to me.

Though Alabama moved the ball consistently passing, you have to give credit to the OU defense for causing the turnovers, and they made some clutch plays when they absolutely had to. The offense apparently still struggles because Alabama defense is decent, but generally not good enough to mostly shut down offenses.

Edit to note their kicker is wayy better than Alabama’s.

I distinctly remember LSU fans proclaiming “SEC scared of Riley”

The fan base collectives are a piddling percentage of booster funds.

would almost agree if not for transfer rule and NIL…. kids will not pay attention to this…. Kids want to play and get paid plain and simple.

The problem here is that if LSU doesn’t have the money to pay the contracted terms to the fired coach do they have the money to pay NIL, and will they renege like they did with that coach ?

Is LSU going bankrupt?

Hmm. Could it be that paying 50 million or whatever to Kelly, and tens of millions more to the next staff is going to seriously impact the “NIL” to compete in the SEC?

That would suck.
