And his first recruiting class is in the top 5. Combined with the best OC from the SEC who wasn't even at a blue blood, there's no better fit other than hiring nick saban or kirby smart himself.

My last lincoln riley hate post of the night. Defense still wins championships.

He turned USC around in a hurry.

It would be impressive if talent was the issue. USCs issue has never been

Do you know how I know OU is doing better than USC?

Jeffacka

This year means nothing for OU. Riley should've been an instant winner.

FieroCoug

12/29/22 8:54pm

Riley was an instant winner. No one expected 11 wins.

Jeffacka

12/29/22 9:11pm

Riley had the best win % of any coach in OU history. You have high expectations

ReiUrso

12/29/22 9:11pm

But he never lost the Cheez-it Bowl.

Jeffacka

12/29/22 9:14pm

Against a better team than usc is playing. In a way more energetic

FieroCoug

This is too funny.

They do not appear to be the weakest this bowl season so far.

ReiUrso

He lost to utah twice.

'22 USC was disappointing because '21 BYU was undefeated against the PAC, right?

Jeffacka

12/29/22 8:46pm

If a team recruiting in the 70s can beat that conference, a team like

The PAC had a good year.

Jeffacka

12/29/22 8:56pm

The pac got better this year but not good enough that usc shouldn't

FieroCoug

12/29/22 8:57pm

I'd be bitter too.

Jeffacka

12/29/22 8:59pm

Riley's stock is so much higher than OU's right now, but tell yourself whatever you want to help yourself sleep at night

Right now usc is obviously better. But the future looks better for OU.

Not with Venables as the HC.

Time will tell.

oryguncoug

12/29/22 8:52pm

Everything I stated was a fact and logic says that would make a pretty good team

FieroCoug

12/29/22 8:55pm

I would bet Venables won’t even survive his 1st contract as HC at OU.

oryguncoug

12/29/22 9:06pm

Difference is that a 3 loss SEC team probably still makes the playoffs soon.

FieroCoug

12/29/22 9:09pm

And even at that OU won’t be one of those teams.

oryguncoug

12/29/22 9:10pm

Idk something tells me that top 5 recruiting classes, the best defensive coach

FieroCoug

12/29/22 9:23pm

He lost a championship with his vaunted defense giving up 55 to USC.

Jeffacka

12/29/22 8:58pm

No it doesn't. That's literally what I said. USC'S future is much brighter.

shimmy

12/29/22 8:48pm

They can't even win the pac 12. Good luck in the big 10 where most teams

FieroCoug

12/29/22 8:52pm

That's funny considering OU is going to the SEC. I understand you are seeing it from an OU perspective and fans are nuts

shimmy

12/29/22 8:57pm

Our coaches have success in the SEC. Or just beat the SEC for national

FieroCoug

12/29/22 8:58pm

Your team is about to become a whipping boy in the SEC...

12/29/22 8:57pm

Having terrible defensive players doesn't bode well even with a great defensive

FieroCoug

12/29/22 9:02pm

But OU was so talented. They should've dominated the Big 12 with that roster.

Big difference in a team full of freshman and a team full of juniors who
