Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Interesting notes from a Sooner:

LR stock was declining every year. He took over in 2017 when OU was at heights it hadn't been at in a decade. He did a great job that year. But there hasn't been a single year since that was better than the year before. It's been a steady decline since 2017.

• 2017 we win the big 12, lose a super close game in cfp. Heisman winner, 1st overall draft pick.
• 2018 we win the big 12, lose pretty bad in cfp. Heisman winner, 1st overall draft pick.
• 2019 we win the big 12, get destroyed in the cfp. Heisman finalist.
• 2020 two conference losses, win big 12, no cfp. No Heisman
• 2021 two conference losses, multiple one score wins, no big 12 title, no cfp, no Heisman.

I mean, those are some pretty high standards to duplicate every year,

Lol can I have a coach that wins the SEC every year… wth lol

Yeah and throw in 2 Heismans and a finalist or two while you're at it and cfp 3/5 years.

The more info that comes out about Riley, he sounds like a POS

But it's funny because he's not our POS.


Seriously, I am here to watch other programs burn for once.

Those aren’t interesting notes, that’s a fan in denial

They've been good so long that they don't know how ridiculous they are.

God I can't wait for this to happen to Bama

If one year out of 5 gets a coach on the outs because they didn’t make the conference championship game, what do people want lol…. You can’t always be perfect.

 

[HankHill]

OU fans down playing losing Riley is great lol

 

[jpope9]

Once we get the VOLS letters back on Neyland our full circle of redemption will be complete!

They're all over the place right now. It's great

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I’m ready for the stadium renovations and the practice facility renovations. Those practice facility renovations are going to be #1 in the country. I mean they will have a literal equipment cleaning conveyor belt that you put your pads on they get sanitized and automatically sent to your locker…..

 

[UpstateVol613]

Perfect world Oklahoma hires Venables crippling Clemson and Mark Stoops to LSU…I think that helps TN with future recruiting based on footprint. That’s the end game anyways. Maybe for good measures Harsin goes to Washington.

I feel so bad for them....

 

[SmokinBob]

So, it's like we can talk about any other coach all day long, but let us mention the "K" word, and OMG...

This guy? (locker room after our game)

OU:” That’s terrible! I’m glad that bum left!”

Shopping spree? These former five-star recruits are on transfer portal watch

 

[de1conley]

Here’s to Lincoln Riley having as much success at the coaches’ dream USC as Kiffin!

Different set of circumstances and the AD at USC was an idiot for again firing a coach who was under all those sanctions. It's not a coincidence that they haven't won anything since. A lot of fans and ADs want coaches to be magicians.

Now they're saying Grinch isn't a good DC

Those are the sourest grapes I’ve ever tasted.

Most former 5*'s will probably be looking at the top teams, but maybe we can snag one. Should be plenty of former 4*'s that can come in and contribute, and with good coaching, shine.

 

[UpstateVol613]

I think the biggest winner of all these coaching dominos falling and speculation is one Jimmy Sexton.

 

[engineerVOL]

OU’s ‘23 class is imploding as expected.

That program had stability for 22 years. Hate it.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I’m like 85% confident that Heupel will stay. But I’m not comfortable at all with 85%. If the pilot of my flight said “Oh yeah, I’m 85% confident we’re getting to our destination,” I’m getting off that plane.

 

[engineerVOL]

It happened so fast…. I wish I was recording it.

 

[SweetasSoda]

He's such a twitter ho-----Always trying to be the center of every conversation

Wonder if the purpose for posting a Louisiana tag was to see if he could get LSU fans to go crazy on Twitter after LR ditched them like TN fans would have? Maybe thinking that would get the attention of the AD? I can’t think of another reason. You know it’s got to be killing him that his assistant won a NC while he is languishing away at OM begging for someone to rescue him.
