12 hours that changed USC football

From LA times lead story on Riley/USC

Conversations with representation for Riley and other candidates carried on throughout the season, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the discussions who were not authorized to speak on the record. Bohn and Sosna had once before considered Riley, then-Oklahoma’s offensive coordinator, when conducting their last coaching search at Cincinnati, but ultimately landed on Luke Fickell, whose name was also regularly connected to USC’s search.

It wasn’t until Saturday night, however, after Oklahoma’s season ended with a loss to rival Oklahoma State, that leaders at USC made their late-night pitch directly to Riley. They sold him on the investments they’d made in the Trojans football program, the top-tier talent he could pluck from across Southern California, and the promise of leading a program in a major media market, at the epicenter of sports.

art briles?

seems like a perfect fit for the gooners.

no rules
no standards
no academic req
$$$ brings winning and winning wipes out all sins
ton of free $hit

recruits? come on down.

bring in baby briles to run the offense and become head coach after art has cheated enough to right the ship.

if i were a toothless, trailer trash, wife betting, meth head ou fan, this would more than work for me. so, art briles let us show you the $$$.

RB

What are we going to do at RB if Warren gets any more banged up? It has to be Richardson and Jackson, but it's obvious the staff doesn't trust them at this point. Richardson fumbles his only carry and drops a pass. Jackson didn't even get in did he?

Check this out.

OSU student and his buck, 3 miles from campus in Stillwater. I didn't know him but apparently this kid is from Edmond and graduated with my daughter.

Did Texas play 4-D chess…..

Did they think Riley did not have the stomach for the SEC? Did they bank on OU not talking to Riley about this? Texas brought in Sark to go to the SEC, he had to know. Texas now no longer has to recruit against Riley in Texas.

Probably not that smart, but Texas officials and donors have to be ecstatic. Do you think the Texas AD called Joe C and offer his shoulder to cry on given how chummy they both are?
