Lincoln Riley to L$U?

[Canefan73]

Talk about shaking up coaching searches. I can't believe that this would go down, but stranger things have happened.

$EC west (at that point) would have: Saban, Riley. Fisher, Kiffin

Nasty. Not including Pittman, Harsin, etc.

 

[fincane]

I mean he's headed to the SEC anyway. Just gets there a little earlier.

 

[F-MarioCristobal]

I don't understand leaving Oklahoma right before they go to the SEC for another SEC job. Seems like a better job than LSU anyway especially if he wants to win a title before joining the conference.

Has it been decided on SEC west/east for OU/Texas? Cause I would think OU to the East would be the move if they wanted to even know things out some ..

Saban would move to the East and ruin things for UF. They'd be in third place perennially.

I meant currently. Not even including the additions

Chasing a title I would agree. I think LSU is a way better job though.

I think there was talk about doing 4-team pods rather than two divisions:

Pod A: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina
Pod B: Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Pod C: LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Texas A&M
Pod D: Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma

Here's me thinking Billy Napier makes too much sense - killing it in the same state, a Saban disciple, the ultimate hot up and coming young HC.

Then here's LSU trying to hire a perennial Playoff HC.

College football is wild.

And you bring all your own recruits to be in the same conference. Hit the ground running. Makes no sense. Oklahoma is as storied a program as LSU, IMO.

 

[Marcelo2988]

That would be crazy. He's already moving to the SEC soon if he sticks it out w/ Oklahoma

Would be a grand slam hire for LSU though IMO

I'm sure Tennessee would LOVE this.

[Tru C]

I want him to coach my denver broncos

If you have any bit of a pulse you'll win at LSU. The last three have. State packed with elite talent, with no competition in state and actual loyalty to the home team for the most part.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

All the confirmation we need. He’s gone lol.

Lol who knows at this point

 

[Go Canes!!]

It’s a better job

Maybe I'm severely overrating Oklahoma but idk. I've always viewed them as a destination up there with Alabama, Texas, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame. Money, power, tradition.

LSU just seems to be a tier down in the FSU, UF, Tennessee, category. Money and tradition are there but it seems to take lightning in a bottle. Lots of highs and lows. Texas & Michigan are probably falling into this category too.

Oh they up there without a doubt. For sure. I know I think higher of LSU than most.
