Take note LSU, all your options are not gone. Cutcliffe is out at Duke.

In one fell swoop Riley crushes not one but TWO fanbases. Huge swath of corn dogs are majorly bummed.

Money talks.

Wasn't expecting this. I bet he's setting himself up for an NFL run. Get in a huge market with NFL eyes all-around you.

He has set Oklahoma up pretty decent, but now you wonder if a bunch of de-commitments are next?

Indeed .... it will be interesting to see the details of his contract.

Dude wanted nothing to do with the SEC grind.

Since they’re private, do they have to disclose the contract terms? I know Notre Dame doesn’t. Does the conference alliance require the numbers to be posted?

 

[BAMAneck]

Don’t you know this stings the corn dogs..

Riley was not looking forward to playing higher caliber SEC teams just about every week. He said....bye...bye to OU.

Much better weather in Southern California than Norman, Oklahoma.

Take note LSU, all your options are not gone. Cutcliffe is out at Duke.

And Trooper Taylor is just the interim coach at Duke, for now.

LR leaving Oklahoma for USC is weird to me, OU is a better job than USC at this point.

Although LR probably doesn’t want to attempt the SEC and the PAC is a much much easier conference

It will take him a year or two but he is a good recruiter and will start nabbing a few of those big time recruits that have been going elsewhere.

Much better weather in Southern California than Norman, Oklahoma.

And no SEC either…. Napier to Florida.

 

[ElephantStomp]

OU is a better job at the moment than USC, but when the school you’re currently is going to country’s best conference and you know it’ll expose you, you get out of dodge

Much better weather in Southern California than Norman, Oklahoma.

Worth the taxes though?

They pay taxes in California?
