2021 Coaching Carousel

No kidding?  Confirmed?  Easiest path to 

It's happening all over social media now.

Lincoln Riley to USC. WOW 

This is nuts. I always assumed OU was a destination job. Can't believe anyone would leave there willfully.

 

[SouthLincoln Husker]

No clue but I'd guess 7-8 million? Riley seems like a dik and didnt like being in Stoops shadow 

I like the thought of him moving away from the SEC to play another soft conference.

 

[TGHusker]

We will be late to the party as usual. 

Yep.  I wonder who will be available next year at this time.  This may sound pretty bad, but if Frost fails next year, I hope he does it early so we can start the coach search early. I'm kind of resigned to the fact that we'll be in a coach search next year.  

 

[BigRedBuster]

For the offense Riley likes to run, I can see him landing whoever he wants at USC.  And I agree this is an easier path to the CFP than in the SEC or Big Ten.  

Yep….and it’s why the whole OU and Texas to the SEC is so stupid for them.

Might be enough movement this year that we are the only "blue blood" looking for a HC. Lol

Riley jumping ship before having to coach Oklahoma in the SEC.

I honestly think Oklahoma's & Texas' move to the SEC will be similar to Nebraska's current outcome in the Big Ten. Great monetary increase for the school, but a huge step down when it comes to having success on the football field.

Caleb Williams to USC makes sense 

 

[lo country]

Hmmm..  So throw enough money at a guy and he would go.  I wonder how much we are throwing to land an OC?

Caleb Williams to USC makes sense 

Yup, Texas and OU will regret abandoning the BIG12 just like the Huskers should regret joining the BIG10.

Riley to USC is interesting. He could flourish out there. He could be gone in 30 games. One thing is for sure, the expectations will be high and the talent pool he has to recruit from is incredible...

Yes, he won't have to battle it out wt Bama for the SEC West.

Applies to nearly every school that has switched conferences in the past 10-12 years. I don’t think any team that switched conferences has been in the playoff (so far as I can remember). None have kept their head coach beyond three or so years as that on field success was fleeting in most cases. Changing conferences affects more than just the helmets, jerseys and game locations. Whole bunch of dynamics are affected, especially recruiting and learning the nuances of other teams/coaches in the league.

Waiting for our confirmations and us to be amazed like Riley to USC and Napier to UF.....Please let me be amazed.  And not in a bad Helfrich/Harrell kind of way.

Willy Korn, Willy Korn, Willy Korn......

 

[Red Five]

I think Lane would kill it at OU.
