Riley hands down.
Riley’s downfall could be his inability to field an even decent defense.
Hope am one of them.Prediction. When Mario gets this thing rolling the majority of the Mario haters will be the first guys back in their camo shorts and swag hats saying I knew it all along.
Wouldn’t you think USC playing a spread variation under Harrell (as OC) make the transition to Riley’s offense easier? As opposed to Mario trying to implement a more power-physical offense than Lashlee.I wouldn’t call both conferences “weak.” I would call The Coastal weak, but the ACC had 4 teams that had 9+ wins.
The SEC had 4
The B1G had 4
The Big 12 had 3
The PAC-12 had 2
But yes, Riley is going to dominate the PAC-12 b/c SC is the crown jewel of that conference. Now, once the switch happens to the B1G, he may bolt. Some fans r a little worried about that.
It helps however, when u literally change the landscape of ur team by bring over via the portal:
1. #1 QB
2. #1 WR
3. #2 WR
4. #1 LB
5. #3 RB
6. #12 WR
& flip ur 3rd rank TF running back from OU.
I guarantee u, if Riley didn’t do damage by becoming the #1 Portal school, SC would win no mare than 9 games this yr. The team, the fit was a mess. Kudos to him for getting guys who fit his system where the main guy, his QB, is already familiar w/.
Why would top DCs flock to USC? Did they flock to OU when Riley was HC?The advantage lincoln has is he will never have to find an OC.
Oline coaches is probably a top 3 important hire for a program after the coordinators so Mario n Mirabal have the advantage there.
Lincoln teams have got exposed physically ,especially on defense its just not his identity but im sure top DCs will flock to usc eventually.
Mario wants his teams to look a certain way so his process is gonna take longer, high powered offenses can speed up your process and cover holes but that hasn’t been his strength to this point we’ll see if he changes.
Ranked by who?Talent wise Miami is ranked 13th nationally. USC is behind Miami in that category. This comes down to coaching my friend. Reality this team should be 4 n 0. 3 n 1 at the most. We haven't played a **** soul. I hope he can turn this thing around fast. But what I saw the last game was deer eyes my friend. Plain n Simple
Anyone who disregards it and acts like he’s some elite program builder based on his stint at Oregon is just as bad and probably worseI didn't say he would.
I just have higher belief in him long term than Riley.
And anybody that used Mario's win % at FIU as an argument against him is being disingenuous.
Shouldn’t bring a big10 offense to Miami thenWouldn’t you think USC playing a spread variation under Harrell (as OC) make the transition to Riley’s offense easier? As opposed to Mario trying to implement a more power-physical offense than Lashlee.
Of course, bringing his elite QB and WR with him didn’t hurt Riley. Plus Addison from Pittsburgh.
California lolWhy would top DCs flock to USC? Did they flock to OU when Riley was HC?
A) agree. was not a defense of Mario.Shouldn’t bring a big10 offense to Miami then
California lol
Please dont tell me you’re looking at 247 rankings lol. USC was #11, and those rankings don’t factor in the development of those players.Talent wise Miami is ranked 13th nationally. USC is behind Miami in that category. This comes down to coaching my friend. Reality this team should be 4 n 0. 3 n 1 at the most. We haven't played a **** soul.

Id think someone wants to live in cali over Oklahoma but we’ll see, lincoln has to go after better ones either wayA) agree. was not a defense of Mario.
B) so? and I live in LA.
Agreed. There's pros and cons from his time at FIU.. But to focus only on his record and imply that makes him a failure is not looking at the whole picture.Anyone who disregards it and acts like he’s some elite program builder based on his stint at Oregon is just as bad and probably worse
