first for those of you with a public school education, look the word up. Would love to be wrong. Happened before, I am almost sure of it, just don't remember exactly when.
I know I am pretty much alone on this. I just don't get the excitement in hiring "162" Riley.
He runs the Pajama Boy Harrell offense (who appears to be staying) which clearly DOES NOT WORK at USC. Sure he runs the ball more and some differences in route philosophy. BUT IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FREAKING OFFENSE WE HAVE NOW, which has been a FREAKING disaster.
The only major difference between what they do at Oklahoma and SC is the quality of the personnel at Oklahoma is better than what Pajama boy had to use at USC. And with with better TALENT, Riley has give up 162 points in his three playoff games. Your offense can't be on the field that long if they give up that many points on defense. Them's the facts.
So ya, he puts up lots of points when he plays the cupcakes. Going to wear Traveler out, especially when SC plays it's one or two soft out of conference games at the Coliseum.
So I am predicting right here and now that USC is NOT going to win BUPKIS under Riley.
My question is why not hire the smart guy that came up with the thing "mike leach", aka the pirate, instead of another one of his disciples if you are going to TRY to run HIS offense, AGAIN? And again, if you are going to go that way, which I am not in favor of but at least FORCE hire whomever to work with a REAL GROWNUP defensive coordinator. Someone that at least knows the fundamentals and the importance of the weight room instead of one of his buddies.
In my never humble opinion USC should have gone a completely different direction. All of USC national titles have been won by a defensive minded head coach. There is no exception. Every single one of them. Feel free to look it up. I was alone on Carroll being a good hire too. Wonder if fake lake/port still even owns a fax machine.
USC needed to be rebuilt from the trenches out , not the other way around. Riley does NOT run a tight ship. Lack of discipline has been a PROBLEM at oklahoma. Just ask a Sooner. Has it been a problem at SC under Raisins' and fake lake/port's favorite coach FAT BOY? Ya, see what I mean.
I am sure SC will sell plenty of tickets. At least at first. Which is all , not your or your dad's SC, really cares about anyways.
Just wanted to go on the record. Remember how I was the only one WRONG about Pat Haden too, and the damage he would do to USC football. Oh wait. LMAO.
oh and one more thing. Merry Christmas . sc
Dammit, I wish I could have been schooled at private institutions! I could have learned words like comeuppance! Shit!
Okie has always been an out of control program ... remember Barry Switzer. Stoops wasn’t exactly a disciplinarian, especially his latter years when he got real lazy. HCLR seemed to have more control of that mess than you think.
This has to be the dumbest post I've ever seen, and you don't even know what type of offense Riley runs... use Youtube you tool. lol
Simple math....that's all...I could be wrong but if I am..USC is going to missing a position coach somewhere unless this staff is so versatle and talented they can coach all kinds of positions simutaneously...
Not the same offense at all. You should actually watch OU play before commenting.
OU runs the ball as much as they throw it. A true balanced attack.
I second that SC. here’s to your comeuppance soon....we need lots of
wins Coach Riley!
As much whining over this hire that you are making when do you want to get reminded you are wrong...a week, two weeks, next season, end of the season, after the final signing period or after two or three seasons when he really has a chance to rebuild the program? Just ask'n. By the way have you niticed any differences betwen Harrel's and Leach's offense? I sure the hell do....how about BAMA's? How about Ohio St's...
