Miami was too much a poverty program to land a corching talent of his caliber.

Ahh...those good times.

Quite a few of those head coaches in that job jump cycle have not done well.

Lincoln Riley struggled, even in Caleb Williams’ last season.
Brian Kelly hasn’t improved LSU.
Brett Venables has been a disappointment.

Mario struggled out of the gate, but seems to have the program in the right direction.

He may turn out to be the Trojans Ron Zook. Seems like a lot of positive personnel acquisition, but, as you note, something is just off. What are your thoughts on the Coliseum. Does it just need a multi-hundred mill rebuild?

It recently got a $300M rebuild, and is due to get more enhancements before the 2028 Olympics.

Kelly not doing too bad with LSU right now. They got a double digit lead on Arkansas right now. I have no clue how they lose to USC but they're cooking right now

So is the Coliseum a current negative? Hard for me to imagine it is, but I’m uninformed. It seems awesome to me. How far away from campus?

I was actually talking about this with a friend at a UT / OU watch party. He had been to the Coliseum years earlier for a Texas USC game and said it was a dump. I looked it up, and a few years ago they spent around $300M to rebuild the ancient stadium. There are more improvements planned for the Olympics.

I was going to guess it would take 1/2 B to properly redo it. UGA spent 300 million 10-12 years ago on their football facility (not their stadium). 100 million just doesn’t do what it use to. lol

I think Riley is the type that can go into a winning program with a good culture and keep things mostly stable (but maybe never get them over the top), but I don't think he is the type that can go into a troubled program and turn them around.
 
recapping the head coaches in year 3

not including all, but the main ones from that year:

the bad

vennables went to Oklahoma - he might be fired this offseason
napier to Florida - most likely fired this offseason
Marcus freeman - ND - lost to northern Illinois in year 3 - not on the hot seat but not good
sonny dykes - TCU - first year national championship - now a train wreck
tony elliot - bad
lincoln riley - USC - blew up the pac 12 to go 3-4 and lose to Maryland and Minnesota
brent pry - VT is a good team this year, but disappointing year nonetheless


the good

dan lanning - Oregon - just beat Ohio state and will likely be #1 tomorrow
mario cristobal - Miami - undefeated in year 3, likely top 5 tomorrow
brian kelly - LSU - 6-1, likely 6th or 7th tomorrow
Kalen Deboer - Washington - year 2 went to national championship game then went to Bama - now with 2 losses and worst start to a bama season since saban's first year
rhett lashlee - SMU - likely going 11-1 and headed for ACC title game vs Us (hopefully)
mike elko - duke - 2 good years at duke, now at A&M and having a really good year so far
 
Left OU because He was scared of the SEC, only to go to USC so the B1G to pound town His a$$. Like TVD, He was scared off BBC.

Riley was the Big 12 and OU’s version of Ryan Day.
