OU fans have been warning people but I’m sure everyone thought we were just being sour grapes. Riley is getting what he deserves and will continue to lose more games. He was coddled at OU by the media and just gifted a loaded team setup for success. All he did was make the program worse, destroy the culture, make the team soft…and lie through his teeth. Then he gave up on his final season and was planning his getaway while recruiting for USC while still being paid by OU… He is a crappy person. He got away with it in Norman but the LA media isn’t going to put up with his crap.
Only a pro QB can teach Caleb at this point. He’s learned everything he’s going to learn from Riley. No NFL team is going to listen to demands from Lincoln. That’s ridiculous.
Yeah he's not showing signs of a true leader. If I was him I would get up on my team mate's faces and yell at them to wake up and play better. I would be angry AF and show some emotions. He was just sitting on the bench looking disinterested and unengaged.
@@VersionBest Or maybe not yell and scream negatively and cheer them on? Nothing says asshole more than your buddy angrily yelling at you telling you that you suck
How is everyone "surprised " this is happening? Every Sooner fan with a pulse told usc and the nation that Riley was a fraud. We told you this was coming. This is life with Riley. I tried to warn usc fan and all I got for my trouble was chest pounding and name calling. As far as I'm concerned, Trojan fan is getting exactly what they deserve. Enjoy your season!
You have to understand that Oklahoma was still making the playoffs under LR. I’m a ND fan so this is somewhat fun to watch but I’m sure USC was hoping that if he could take Oklahoma to the playoffs he could do the same at USC which is in a recruiting hotbed.
@@sococomfort22s34 2 reasons why that might be. 1. Texas high school has better players Or 2. Riley can't develop players. Over at Oklahoma, his best two teams were right after Bob Stoops left. He took over a well-established program and was able to coach them to win Big 12 Titles, but he wasn't able to develop the new recruits to get better
@bradywilliams1437 usc fanboy, along with the national Riley fan club in the media, are a bunch of absolute clowns. They spew nonsense every time they open their pie holes. I found out real quick last year when I tried to tell them, their trust and enthusiasm for Riley was misplaced and that he would do to their program exactly what he is doing to it. No, I was a jealous ex, who's program couldn't recruit top-level players or offer them anything beyond prairie dust and cow manure, apparently. As if players choose their schools based on the local nightlife? If so, you don't want that player. As if the Oklahoma Sooners aren't one of a handful of legitimate college football blueblood programs. The winners of 7 national championships, 7 Heisman trophies, the longest winning streak in college football history of 42 in a row. Like we haven't been recruiting and playing championship level football for more than a century. Like we don't have 3 different coaches with national championship wins. Like we don't have 4 different head coaches in the college football hall of fame, Bennie Owens, Bud Wilkerson, Barry Switzer, and Bob Stoops (notice a trend? ) so yes, please, PLEASE, take that fraud of a coach, Lincoln Riley off our hands and out of our hallowed halls, and buy him a mansion on the beach and listen to him pump sunshine up your collective ASS, and you can ALL (usc fan and national media) kiss mine!
@@MrMechling45, not to mention that due to the Covid year OU still had a good handful of really good players that Stoops recruited on the team, which is why they were still able to only lose a few games in 21. Had those players not been there, OU would of lost about 5 games that year. Riley knew this and that's why he bolted. 22 would have been worst than what Brent was able to do, those close loses would have been blown out loses most likely and may have lost even more.
It was great seeing Caleb sit on the bench far away from all his teammates rolling his eyes at his defense. Great leader... That guy has no heart for his team and only cares about himself.
Yeah I was getting NFL bust vibes from him last year and now it's screaming out to me. I think at best he has the Cam Newton career where his 2nd best year is his rookie year because teams don't have film on him then he randomly has an insane MVP year like Cam did in 2015 and the rest of the time he's right outside of the top 10 rankings.
I still don't understand how USC fans are surprised. You have 5 seasons of him at OU as data points. It's the same thing. Great offense and virtually no defense. Honestly there's going to be a pretty big drop off on offense next year also. Add that with going to the Big 10 next year is a recipe for disaster. 6-6 is a big possibility if not worse.
stop with the Big 10 is so much tougher garbage. First of all, you don't play Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State all in 1 season. Secondly, much of the rest of the Big 10 is mediocre at best, very few decent offenses and not even close to the offenses that the Pac 12 has.
@@jiordone8563true, all true points but think of it this way. The top 4 pac 12 programs added gives it 7 very elite teams, plus another 4-5 good teams. It may not be a tough conference this year but will be next year! Add travel distance, time differences and jet lag and really bad weather, blatantly biased big 10 refs that favor OG teams and USC imploding already. Not good for SC fans!
If Riley goes to the NFL it would be another disaster, like Kingsbury at Arizona, with or without Caleb. If Caleb want a chance at being a top NFL QB he needs to get as far away as possible from Stinkin Lincoln.
He did the same thing in Norman (limit player availability to the press, etc) and got away with it because Oklahoma is a small market and there was very little pushback. I figured having the spotlight more on him even though there is a lot more sports to spread around would catch up to him if things didn't go his way at some point.
I saw the game; USC was ragged, undisciplined, wild. Caleb Williams played out of control...playground ball. Here at OU we were glad that Riley took Alex Grinch with him as def. coordinator. We had terrible defenses from Grinch. Riley's strategy was "outscore 'em, to heck with defense." We don't mind that Riley left, but he left in the lowest class way possible and proved to be the most unimaginative liar in sports.
One thing that people in Utah are always happy to see is the bigger schools whining and complaining about not dominating the teams here. Whether it was when BYU was sending QBs to the NFL in the 80s or now with Kyle Whittingham building the anti-big market prototype program. We love the consternation. Grit and determination seems to always beat the glitz and glamor of the SoCal schools.
I seriously question the sportsmanship of both Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley. Three times they've played Utah. Three times they've lost. Three times, Caleb has sulked on the sideline and failed to shake the hands of the Utah players.
Two things we OU fans were happy to see go with Riley, were of course Grinch, and Benny Wiley. When they left OU had one (1) O lineman that could bench 300. Brent Venables first hire was Jerry Schmidt. A true football S&C coach. He got rid of all the rubber bands and kettle bells. OU immediately became Bigger, Stronger and Faster. Everybody out there in Disneyland talks about how complex Grinches defense is and that's the problem. As far a complexity goes Venables has one of the most complex D in the country. It's not the scheme. It's the teacher/coach. Riley was the same at OU as he is in LA with the media. That's the apples or the oranges it has nothing to do with football. I don't care who is in front of the camera. I just want my team to win football games.
OU fans might have rejoiced when Riley left, but coaches didn't. Stoops was visibly upset and I recall an interview with Switzer who said the Venables hire was bad because they needed an offensive guy just like Riley. I was very surprised by that comment considering the great defenses that Switzer had for years. Riley is a snake oil salesman and the pompous pricks at SC are getting what they deserve.
It’s funny you bring up Benny Wiley. I sat through an hour and a half presentation he did at a coaching clinic where he talked about speed and agility being his number one priority over strength and power. The change from Wiley to Smitty alone was an upgrade for OU. OU fans tried to tell you guys what Riley would bring to the table and now USC fans are mad because we ultimately were right.
Wiley is a yoga instructor posing as a strength coach. He's a perfect fit for Lincoln Riley. Grinch may be a better fit at a smaller school with lighter players. He isn't a blue blood coordinator. Those three coaches are recipe for disaster at this level.
Riley is good offensive mind but is poor as hell at picking assistant coaches?. if I’m not mistaking, I heard that Riley replaced Schmidt with Wiley when at OU.
Plaschke is wrong on this one, no NFL franchise is going to let a 22yr old rookie & his family dictate who the team must hire. That ain't happening, NFL will black ball the player before that. Besides, Riley ain't really won the games that counted.
OU decided to join the SEC and Riley knew he'd be exposed as a fraudulent HC, so he went to USC. USC decides to join the Big 10 and he knows he'll get his arse kicked so he'll move again. I imagine his lawyer is working on it right now. Hell, he quit coaching OU at the halfway point of the 2021 season.
He never coached OU during the 2021 season and already had plans to goto USC since the end of the 2020 season, go back and see how the 2020 season ended for USC with them bringing Clay Helton back then firing him after the first few games of the 2021 season, they had to do that because Riley wasn't ready or in position to leave for USC with the way early signing period is setup and also he needed to take a big time 5 star QB with him too, so he benched and screwed Rattler to develop Gayleb to make ready for when he would leave for USC the next season....mind you the 2021 OU team was Riley's best top to bottom team he had since being the OU HC, the team that was supposed to make the playoffs and challenge for the national championship and they didn't even make the Big 12 championship game, this ensured Riley could leave the program right after the OSU game and make it to USC to be in position for early signing period recruitment.
Lincoln Riley will end up as an Offensive Coordinator in the NFL. He doesn't have to recruit or talk to the media very much. Just draw up plays and coach the QB. That's his career path.
And this is coming from an Oklahoma Alumnus: STOP gaslighting the Trojan Faithful, Lincoln. You got up there at that introductory press conference and said “Mecca of College Football,” “Competing for Championships Right Away.” You don’t get to back-track now. You made SC promises, Riley.
I do not know why Plashke and the rest of the sport's media is surprised at this development as Riley did that for years at Oklahoma all while gutting the culture, physicality, and strength and conditioning. His best team was his first year built with Stoops culture, physicality, and S&S after which he gutted it and subsequently had teams that were marginally worse every year. It is really arrogant of Plashke to think that he would not do the same thing at USC. His interview reeks of arrogance... "this is USC, LA, how can he do that here?".
Grooming Heisman QBs? Really? Baker. kyler and Jalen were already stars. What happened to Spencer Rattler? Caleb is the only recruit he lucked into. Somebody better wake up and smell what Lincoln is burning
17-5 record same as the last fired coach at the same time in second year and number of games. The difference riley has so many 5stars and caleb williams.
OU fans have been shouting from the mountain tops since day one that our resentment towards Lincoln Riley is less about him not physically being our head coach and more about him scorning OU and the way in which he went about leaving. What the LA media and USC fans are starting to question and realize right now about LR are the same things the OK media and OU fans started to question and realize years ago. Lincoln is smart and and great at getting you to continue to believe that despite the failures and flaws, he is always 2 steps ahead and has the answers. But in reality this is just football, not nuclear thermo dynamics. The answer to the problem is not that hard and as OU's continued to go unfixed year after year we slowly started to realize that this guy really might be just playing checkers and not chess. Goodluck, USC fans. Also, save yourselves some time and skip the "we just let our foot off the gas" stage of trying to justify to yourself why you just blew another big lead to an inferior team and let them back into the game. He didn't. Riley just has a pretty massive issue with game management. See OU game film for reference.
How is OU doing ? When you'll be playing in the sec soon instead of fighting for your lives against ucf. Ou fans need to stop their weird obsession with the coach and usc. Seriously what are you even doing here?
@@rahb2096don't be silly you can't really think that Lincoln Riley Oklahoma and USC aren't going to be linked to one another too not just OU fans what college football fans in general
@@rahb2096I’m here to laugh at TBOW, of course! Hahaha! Why wouldn’t OU fans be here? Everyone is finally seeing how right we were! Oh, and OU is 7-0 with better offensive statistics than usc! Haha! And a QB with better Heisman odds than Caleb! And I don’t even have to mention the defensive statistics…😂
This reporter said “hottest coach in college football”. Good grief. Oklahoma was trending down hill each year he was there. He was blessed with outstanding college quarterbacks and rode their abilities. How brilliant is he without that type of skill and talent ? I think it’s coming home that he’s not “the hottest coach in college football” The way he left Oklahoma ought to be telling about what kind of man he is. I put him in the same moral category as Bobby Patrino, Art Briles and Urban Meyer.
Lincoln is a great play caller, the plays he draws up and puts on the field are next level, but he is not a head coach or a leader of young men, he needs to move on from college and I think he would be a great offensive coordinator in the nfl to be honest, when he first came to Oklahoma as OC he showed a lot of imagination in his plays and play calling, but I guess he lost that hunger and imagination and narcissism and greed took there place
@@leannelivers3827 Nobody is paying him 10m to be an OC though. This talk of him leaving is nonsense. He is going to sit there and collect that check, like Jimbo Fisher, because he can't get anyone to give him a bigger check.
@@Tijuanabill Exactly right. Except there are numerous stupid owners in the NFL who can't get their teams off the ground and could fall for the hype of Lincoln Riley - give him a whopping 1st contract. When reality sets in, he'll be back in college. I can see that weird dope Mark Davis bringing him to Vegas to replace the current loser head coach he hired from the pathetic Belichick coaching tree that never bears fruit or flowers.
@@kikovazquez7277 I can't disagree. But I would also add that TBOW has literally no connection to the NFL. He didn't play there. He wasn't an assistant there. If he can't handle building something back at a blue blood, how is he going to manage the myriad of things he doesn't know about the NFL, as a first time NFL HC? If I were that dudes agent, and he wanted to be an NFL head coach, I would advise him to take an OC job for a year or two. The payoff for the lost money would be a longer NFL career, most likely.
It’s hard to create a team of culture and stability and awareness when your team is built on transfers that might only be in the program for a year or at the most 2 too many distractions and uncertainty like a revolving door, there is no system to believe in
He may or may not be a good head coach, however he is an elite offensive coordinator. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a OC job in the NFL. I don't know why so many people were mad at him. I am a Sooner's fan and it didn't bother me because in the end coach Riley needed to do what was best for him and his family and I respect that. Sometimes things in life require you to leave abruptly, that's just the way it is. Good luck to you coach Riley, still wish you the best.
Why would you get the opinion of the biggest UCLA homer in LA to comment on USC? That’s like asking a Red Sox fan’s opinion on the Yankees struggles 😂😂
As an OU fan I was bitter about him leaving but USC new exactly what they were doing when they bought him out. LR is not only and offensive guru and great recruiter but he's young. It's literally his 2nd year and people want a national championship??? U got a young intelligent coach that has years to grow. Our head coach at OU is 50 and just became a HC. LR has so much potential already at a young age. He has 3 QB starting in the NFL, he has been groomed by Bob Stoops and he is sitting in southern Californias rich recruiting grounds. USC fans be patient bc he will get better
I want to make one thing clear, and I am a big OU fan! As soon as lincoln got on the jet and left Norman I got over him leaving, no matter what i say or thing about him, he was never gonna come back thru that OU door, so year let the lincoln thing go SOONER FANS, BOOMER SOONER!!!
Both Riley and Williams are mercenaries. USC will be rid of 2 cancers if they go, and finally get a coach who will be what they need: Tough, hard nose coach who demands physicality. Trojans used to be tough. They are a soft as gummie worms now.
This loss proved my point years ago that Riley doesn’t create adults, he helps spoiled brats make money. Look at his past QBs ( Jalen Hurts doesn’t count). Caleb Williams looked like he was shaking his head at his own team. He’s immature.
A big difference is that Baker tried to talk up his defense, and owned his mistakes. Yeah, I realize that Baker was more of a Stoops recruit (or walk on more accurate).
As a 1965 grad, this is the worst I’ve seen sitting in the Coli…..people furious…yelling profanities! Another blunder hire. Overrated and overpaid. I love SC. This Cardinal and Gold alum is done.
In 1960 John McKay went 4-6 and in 1961 his record was 4-5-1. Did you want to fire him Plaschke ? He only went on to win 4 National Championships. Reporters have rules to follow when they cover USC football. My understanding was he was spoken to about the rules and again decided to break the rules and hence the ban. Personally I thought the ban was wrong. As for the players not speaking after the game I belleve a lot of them were in tears and did not want to show that to the camera. But again like the media I am jumping to conclusions without know all the facts. Plaschke was never happy with Uncle Pete when he won 2 National Champoinships and 7 seasons of double digit wins. And of course todays Roster still has holes in it when USC has to play multiple freshman on defense because they have no better upperclassmen to put on the field. And finally I have never been a Dodgers fan. Yankees all the way ! The New York Yankees hold the record with 27 championships, The Dodgers have had 7 championships, ... 27-7 is The Final Score Bill.
LOL, dude pulls a record from the 60s, It's a different game now. Hell the conference is different now. Coach salary is definitely different now. With the type of recruits and transfers Riley is pulling, they should've beat a Utah team with a pig farmer 3rd string QB. Playing freshman is a choice, SC pulled plenty of defensive players from the portal (Cobb, Alexander, Roland Wallace etc..). SC defense is soft, undisciplined and the offense is finally at the point where they think "why am I playing my butt off only to let the defense lose the game for us". If tears is the reason, then tear on.
USC's problem is on the defensive side of the ball. Last time I checked football is still football. The rules of the game are the same. You cannot expect anyone to win right away considering what a mess the program was and there is no talent there especially with the linemen. The game is won in the trenches just like it has always been. There is a reason the Super Bowl Trophy is called the Vince Lombardi Trophy for a man who coached again back in the 1960's. It is the same game today as it was back then. It is not called the Bill Belichick Trophy even though he won 8 Super Bowls. No, it is called the Vince Lombardi Trophy for a reason. Since Super Bowl XLV, the Vince Lombardi Trophy has been prominently featured in the Super Bowl logo design. Even the great coach Don Shula with Most regular season wins as a head coach (328) and Most total wins as a head coach (347) and Coached only undefeated season through regular season and playoffs his name is not on the Super Bowl Trophy. All the great players of today and great coaches are here today because of those who came before them. It is the same game it has always been. The rules are the same.
Here’s Webster’s Dictionary definition of Muleshoe; moo-el-shoo, a quiet west Texas town, also used as an adjective to describe person(s) capable of double speaking regarding two of their possible occupational locales while jetting unannounced to a third. Used as a verb, to describe the act of being oblivious to all superiors, the press corps, and blind devotion to one’s mutually oblivious defensive coordinator. Used in the past tense as if to be muleshoed; similar in context to a fully extended punt kick to the groin of a fan base and taking zero responsibility or questions thereof. Used in the first person as in I was muleshoed, see photo of Caleb Williams or see photo of Lincoln Riley muleshoed by photo of Alex Grinch or photos of USC and OU’s athletic directors.
USC fans are so whiney. Riley inherited a mess from USC and Helton. Just think how bad the team would of been without the transfer portal. Get rid of Grinch and hire a great DC and strength coach. Open the pocket book for NIL to compete with other Power 5 teams
He's exactly right except for one thing, Caleb will tell whatever team that drafts him to not hire Lincoln Riley. He's already ruined his college career you think he wants him to have a chance to ruin his pro career? Caleb has had horrible body language all season. The second he saw Oklahoma doing well playing good defense he knew he made the wrong choice following Lincoln. He could've stayed at Oklahoma or gone to Georgia/Alabama/Ohio State and actually competed for a national title. He hasn't even played in a playoff game... Lincoln ruined his chances at OU by doing the USC interview the week of OU vs Baylor when OU was 8-0. They lost but still had a chance to make it to the big 12 title and have a playoff chance by winning but that was the week Lincoln told USC he's taking the job and lost again vs OSU in the final game of the season. Everyone knows Lincoln wanted to lose that game so he could leave immediately and go start recruiting for USC which is what he did. He didn't want to potentially win and be in the playoffs making the move even more scrutinized once it was announced and have less time to get going at USC. Then last year Caleb puts up 40pts but still loses to Utah because Lincoln can't develop a defense and gives up 40+ in both games. Now this year they are going to lose 4 or 5 games because of the same issue. Caleb Williams despises his head coach. You gotta pay attention to his body language. He sat on the bench uninterested the entire last drive and didn't get up to motivate his defense even once. He's not a good leader and learning from Lincoln has wasted his entire college career. Caleb Williams does not like Lincoln Riley which is why Lincoln doesn't want them talking to the media because it will add fuel to the fire about how the he has lost the lockerrom. His teams get worse every year and lack physicality because he doesn't make them practice hard or hit constantly due to risk of injury and because he recruits divas instead of blue collar type players. He wants talent over character but coaches like Saban and Venables want guys with character that they can develop because a 4 star that works hard will always beat a 5 star that doesn't in the long run
So true! The only USC QB who had what some would consider as an extended successful NFL career is Carson Palmer, and he was about as good as a 4th string Pro Bowl QB who gets an opportunity in the Pro Bowl because the 3 ahead of him don't want to go. A few others like Rodney Peete have stuck around but had undistinguished careers. I do think Caleb has a chance to be great in the NFL because he has all the tools...including being the only run/pass double threat QB that USC has had in my memory aside from Carson Palmer. The era of NFL QBs who can't scare you with their running ability is coming to an end. Likewise, USC's QB futility has been built around recruiting nothing but pocket passers forever - with the exception of Carson and Caleb, and Caleb's got it all over Carson who stopped running pretty early in his NFL career. I've been bashing Riley in these comments, but if he hangs around he'll be bringing in athletic guys like Caleb unlike his predecessors.
No one would touch Lincoln Riley with a 10-foot pole in the NFL. His teams never play defense. If he has made such a hotdog of USC with all that talent what could he do with an NFL team? Zero!
Caleb Williams isn't even 1% better as a QB, than he was the day he stepped in to the game at the Cotton Bowl, in the Red River game. He hasn't been developed, in any way. The only thing TBOW had to do with making him what he is today, is talking him in to coming to OU, and then to USC. It never mattered where Caleb played ball at. He just needed 2 years of film.
As a fan, i could care less whether the players are interviewed after the game. We care about wins and losses. Nothing they say to the media will affect this. Dont like it find a new job.
Who's journalistic responsibility was it to have done the research of all Lincoln Riley teams when he coached at Oklahoma? All of his defenses were HORRIBLE. Absolutely HORRIFIC. And everyone ignored that why????He hated the media at Oklahoma. We still commute primarily with horse and wagon, but they thought he'd change in the LA media market? Just stop it.....
It is.. where you from? The LAKES DODGERS USC Even UCLA COLLECTIVELY has more championship than most citities combine….. What you gonna stay quiet now… Its Oct 23 2023… lets see what your intelligent answer would be.
Teams have caught on to Brisket's great 🤏 offense..Iowa St and K State weren't fooled much by his schemes..Now on other side of ball..they were Soo close 😳
Too much demand for accountability in Los Angeles really that's the funniest thing I have ever heard this guy has no idea what he's talking about there isn't an NFL team out there that's going to hire Lincoln Riley as their head coach maybe offensive coordinator but not head coach and I think he's wrong I don't think Mary Caleb will be the first overall pick
Generational talents can dictate. For instance John Elway. Caleb has great talent but calling him generational is a hype because he lacks the championship mentality of an Elway. He will dictate nothing to anybody -- but he may end up back in Troy next year if he thinks he'll end up with Belichick in frozen soaking Foxboro. That's not happening. He could learn from Hurts, Burrow, and Lawrence who all worked their butts off, paid their dues and have come in to their own playing for unglamourous teams in unglamourous places.
Incredible how quickly LR has let this thing completely blow up in his face. He the poster boy on NOT how to handle being a Head Ball Coach. Of course, he's smarter than everyone else LOL. Now he's pulling the patented "miss my media obligations because I'm sick", AKA visiting/talking with the NFL team most likely to buy him out of his mess.
It blew up in his face as soon as he had to compete with a couple of decent, though not great teams. The only decent Pac12 team he faced last year was Utah and he got beaten down by them, and then by freaking Tulane in a irrelevant bowl game. Maybe like so many College Big Shot coaches before him, it will take a couple of disastrous NFL campaigns before he and the rest of the world take his extreme limitations seriously.
OU fans have been warning people but I’m sure everyone thought we were just being sour grapes.
Riley is getting what he deserves and will continue to lose more games.
He was coddled at OU by the media and just gifted a loaded team setup for success.
All he did was make the program worse, destroy the culture, make the team soft…and lie through his teeth.
Then he gave up on his final season and was planning his getaway while recruiting for USC while still being paid by OU…
He is a crappy person.
He got away with it in Norman but the LA media isn’t going to put up with his crap.

@@MrMechling45, not to mention that due to the Covid year OU still had a good handful of really good players that Stoops recruited on the team, which is why they were still able to only lose a few games in 21. Had those players not been there, OU would of lost about 5 games that year. Riley knew this and that's why he bolted. 22 would have been worst than what Brent was able to do, those close loses would have been blown out loses most likely and may have lost even more.
It was great seeing Caleb sit on the bench far away from all his teammates rolling his eyes at his defense. Great leader... That guy has no heart for his team and only cares about himself.
Yeah I was getting NFL bust vibes from him last year and now it's screaming out to me.

It's almost like he didn't have a Bob Stoops to hand him a loaded team.
I still don't understand how USC fans are surprised. You have 5 seasons of him at OU as data points. It's the same thing. Great offense and virtually no defense. Honestly there's going to be a pretty big drop off on offense next year also. Add that with going to the Big 10 next year is a recipe for disaster. 6-6 is a big possibility if not worse.
stop with the Big 10 is so much tougher garbage. First of all, you don't play Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State all in 1 season. Secondly, much of the rest of the Big 10 is mediocre at best, very few decent offenses and not even close to the offenses that the Pac 12 has.
@@jiordone8563Big 10 is tougher. Riley is screwed…
@@soonerborn7603💯🎯
@jiordone8563 Riley will run from the challenge.
@@jiordone8563true, all true points but think of it this way. The top 4 pac 12 programs added gives it 7 very elite teams, plus another 4-5 good teams. It may not be a tough conference this year but will be next year! Add travel distance, time differences and jet lag and really bad weather, blatantly biased big 10 refs that favor OG teams and USC imploding already. Not good for SC fans!
If Riley goes to the NFL it would be another disaster, like Kingsbury at Arizona, with or without Caleb. If Caleb want a chance at being a top NFL QB he needs to get as far away as possible from Stinkin Lincoln.
I was thinking 🤔 the same thing, Kingsbury 2.0. For whatever reason 🙄 people "think" coaches like Riley and Kingsbury revolutionize the game....
He did the same thing in Norman (limit player availability to the press, etc) and got away with it because Oklahoma is a small market and there was very little pushback. I figured having the spotlight more on him even though there is a lot more sports to spread around would catch up to him if things didn't go his way at some point.
I always hated that freshman weren’t available to the media at all under him
I saw the game; USC was ragged, undisciplined, wild. Caleb Williams played out of control...playground ball. Here at OU we were glad that Riley took Alex Grinch with him as def. coordinator. We had terrible defenses from Grinch. Riley's strategy was "outscore 'em, to heck with defense." We don't mind that Riley left, but he left in the lowest class way possible and proved to be the most unimaginative liar in sports.
I wanted him gone after Jalen hurts..... NFL mvp type player.....LR is a bust...
Anyone who describes LA as being "too transparent" has disqualified himself from being taken seriously.
Thats Bill Plaschke dawg do your homework. And he’s talking about sports media especially surrounding USC football and the Lakers
Who the hell are you talking like you dont know shit.?!
One thing that people in Utah are always happy to see is the bigger schools whining and complaining about not dominating the teams here. Whether it was when BYU was sending QBs to the NFL in the 80s or now with Kyle Whittingham building the anti-big market prototype program. We love the consternation. Grit and determination seems to always beat the glitz and glamor of the SoCal schools.
Utah is full of Polynesian dudes who play out of their mind
Maybe the guys at USC who want to win should just transfer to Utah.
As an OU fan I don’t have enough popcorn.
**laughs in Jerry Schmidt**
As a Utah fan we have been happy to entertain y'all in Oklahoma each and every time our Utes hammer USC.....you're so very welcome 😂
We appreciate you so much GO UTES!!!
😂
Pass me the butter
I seriously question the sportsmanship of both Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley. Three times they've played Utah. Three times they've lost. Three times, Caleb has sulked on the sideline and failed to shake the hands of the Utah players.
The NFL will humble Caleb.
I wouldn’t have shook hands with em regardless. Didn’t his nails say F Utah??
Two things we OU fans were happy to see go with Riley, were of course Grinch, and Benny Wiley. When they left OU had one (1) O lineman that could bench 300. Brent Venables first hire was Jerry Schmidt. A true football S&C coach. He got rid of all the rubber bands and kettle bells. OU immediately became Bigger, Stronger and Faster.
Everybody out there in Disneyland talks about how complex Grinches defense is and that's the problem. As far a complexity goes Venables has one of the most complex D in the country. It's not the scheme. It's the teacher/coach.
Riley was the same at OU as he is in LA with the media. That's the apples or the oranges it has nothing to do with football. I don't care who is in front of the camera. I just want my team to win football games.
OU fans might have rejoiced when Riley left, but coaches didn't. Stoops was visibly upset and I recall an interview with Switzer who said the Venables hire was bad because they needed an offensive guy just like Riley. I was very surprised by that comment considering the great defenses that Switzer had for years. Riley is a snake oil salesman and the pompous pricks at SC are getting what they deserve.
It’s funny you bring up Benny Wiley. I sat through an hour and a half presentation he did at a coaching clinic where he talked about speed and agility being his number one priority over strength and power. The change from Wiley to Smitty alone was an upgrade for OU. OU fans tried to tell you guys what Riley would bring to the table and now USC fans are mad because we ultimately were right.
OU fans are clearly no longer thinking about Riley. Yes, sir. They don't constantly talk about how much better off they are without their ex. LOL
Wiley is a yoga instructor posing as a strength coach. He's a perfect fit for Lincoln Riley. Grinch may be a better fit at a smaller school with lighter players. He isn't a blue blood coordinator. Those three coaches are recipe for disaster at this level.
Riley is good offensive mind but is poor as hell at picking assistant coaches?. if I’m not mistaking, I heard that Riley replaced Schmidt with Wiley when at OU.
LMAO, the honeymoon may be over, but you guys are stuck with him!!!!! Get used to it, another 8 years to go!!!!😂😂😂😂
They're not stuck with him.

Plaschke is wrong on this one, no NFL franchise is going to let a 22yr old rookie & his family dictate who the team must hire. That ain't happening, NFL will black ball the player before that. Besides, Riley ain't really won the games that counted.
OU decided to join the SEC and Riley knew he'd be exposed as a fraudulent HC, so he went to USC.
USC decides to join the Big 10 and he knows he'll get his arse kicked so he'll move again. I imagine his lawyer is working on it right now. Hell, he quit coaching OU at the halfway point of the 2021 season.
Looks like he's quit coaching halfway through this season too 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Pretty sure his agent is working 10x harder than his lawyer to get him out of this situation.
Stop it. That was not it. He is more exposed in the Pac than the sec. The PAC has much better coaches. Than the Sec has those DL and OL.
He never coached OU during the 2021 season and already had plans to goto USC since the end of the 2020 season, go back and see how the 2020 season ended for USC with them bringing Clay Helton back then firing him after the first few games of the 2021 season, they had to do that because Riley wasn't ready or in position to leave for USC with the way early signing period is setup and also he needed to take a big time 5 star QB with him too, so he benched and screwed Rattler to develop Gayleb to make ready for when he would leave for USC the next season....mind you the 2021 OU team was Riley's best top to bottom team he had since being the OU HC, the team that was supposed to make the playoffs and challenge for the national championship and they didn't even make the Big 12 championship game, this ensured Riley could leave the program right after the OSU game and make it to USC to be in position for early signing period recruitment.
The laughter from the middle of the country only grows louder by the week 😂😂😂
Lincoln Riley will end up as an Offensive Coordinator in the NFL. He doesn't have to recruit or talk to the media very much. Just draw up plays and coach the QB. That's his career path.
You may be right but he will make more money in college being the head boss for all the delusionals to admire.
And this is coming from an Oklahoma Alumnus: STOP gaslighting the Trojan Faithful, Lincoln. You got up there at that introductory press conference and said “Mecca of College Football,” “Competing for Championships Right Away.” You don’t get to back-track now. You made SC promises, Riley.
I do not know why Plashke and the rest of the sport's media is surprised at this development as Riley did that for years at Oklahoma all while gutting the culture, physicality, and strength and conditioning. His best team was his first year built with Stoops culture, physicality, and S&S after which he gutted it and subsequently had teams that were marginally worse every year. It is really arrogant of Plashke to think that he would not do the same thing at USC. His interview reeks of arrogance... "this is USC, LA, how can he do that here?".
Arrogance? I think better shortsighted is better.
Grooming Heisman QBs? Really? Baker. kyler and Jalen were already stars. What happened to Spencer Rattler? Caleb is the only recruit he lucked into. Somebody better wake up and smell what Lincoln is burning
TBOW can't teach leadership to his players, because he doesn't understand it himself.
The kicker is if Caleb stayed at OU he would actually have a nc to possibly show for it .

OU fans have been shouting from the mountain tops since day one that our resentment towards Lincoln Riley is less about him not physically being our head coach and more about him scorning OU and the way in which he went about leaving. What the LA media and USC fans are starting to question and realize right now about LR are the same things the OK media and OU fans started to question and realize years ago. Lincoln is smart and and great at getting you to continue to believe that despite the failures and flaws, he is always 2 steps ahead and has the answers. But in reality this is just football, not nuclear thermo dynamics. The answer to the problem is not that hard and as OU's continued to go unfixed year after year we slowly started to realize that this guy really might be just playing checkers and not chess. Goodluck, USC fans. Also, save yourselves some time and skip the "we just let our foot off the gas" stage of trying to justify to yourself why you just blew another big lead to an inferior team and let them back into the game. He didn't. Riley just has a pretty massive issue with game management. See OU game film for reference.
OU fans tried to tell y'all, and y'all wouldn't listen. Y'all get what you deserve

@@Tijuanabill Texas is very unlikely, and OSU would give him PTSD🤣
I used the Grinch defense in Madden and the computer put up 60 pts on me.
That pig farmer threw 3 tds and Caleb with his trophy sent zero tds thru the air.
This reporter said “hottest coach in college football”. Good grief. Oklahoma was trending down hill each year he was there. He was blessed with outstanding college quarterbacks and rode their abilities. How brilliant is he without that type of skill and talent ? I think it’s coming home that he’s not “the hottest coach in college football”
The way he left Oklahoma ought to be telling about what kind of man he is. I put him in the same moral category as Bobby Patrino, Art Briles and Urban Meyer.
He absolutely was the hottest coach in football, in regards to who teams wanted to hire. Not anymore though. Lol...
Lincoln is a great play caller, the plays he draws up and puts on the field are next level, but he is not a head coach or a leader of young men, he needs to move on from college and I think he would be a great offensive coordinator in the nfl to be honest, when he first came to Oklahoma as OC he showed a lot of imagination in his plays and play calling, but I guess he lost that hunger and imagination and narcissism and greed took there place
@@leannelivers3827 Nobody is paying him 10m to be an OC though. This talk of him leaving is nonsense. He is going to sit there and collect that check, like Jimbo Fisher, because he can't get anyone to give him a bigger check.
@@Tijuanabill Exactly right. Except there are numerous stupid owners in the NFL who can't get their teams off the ground and could fall for the hype of Lincoln Riley - give him a whopping 1st contract. When reality sets in, he'll be back in college. I can see that weird dope Mark Davis bringing him to Vegas to replace the current loser head coach he hired from the pathetic Belichick coaching tree that never bears fruit or flowers.
@@kikovazquez7277 I can't disagree. But I would also add that TBOW has literally no connection to the NFL. He didn't play there. He wasn't an assistant there. If he can't handle building something back at a blue blood, how is he going to manage the myriad of things he doesn't know about the NFL, as a first time NFL HC? If I were that dudes agent, and he wanted to be an NFL head coach, I would advise him to take an OC job for a year or two. The payoff for the lost money would be a longer NFL career, most likely.
LR has always ostracized the media. The media around OU love BV because of his openness.
LR didn't run a good program in a small town either.
It’s hard to create a team of culture and stability and awareness when your team is built on transfers that might only be in the program for a year or at the most 2 too many distractions and uncertainty like a revolving door, there is no system to believe in
He may or may not be a good head coach, however he is an elite offensive coordinator. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a OC job in the NFL. I don't know why so many people were mad at him. I am a Sooner's fan and it didn't bother me because in the end coach Riley needed to do what was best for him and his family and I respect that. Sometimes things in life require you to leave abruptly, that's just the way it is. Good luck to you coach Riley, still wish you the best.
Why would you get the opinion of the biggest UCLA homer in LA to comment on USC? That’s like asking a Red Sox fan’s opinion on the Yankees struggles 😂😂
As an OU fan I was bitter about him leaving but USC new exactly what they were doing when they bought him out. LR is not only and offensive guru and great recruiter but he's young. It's literally his 2nd year and people want a national championship??? U got a young intelligent coach that has years to grow. Our head coach at OU is 50 and just became a HC. LR has so much potential already at a young age. He has 3 QB starting in the NFL, he has been groomed by Bob Stoops and he is sitting in southern Californias rich recruiting grounds. USC fans be patient bc he will get better
Saywhat???? you smoking some real green weed
I don’t feel bad, at all, for TBOW, Caleb, or the nasty USC fans who were antagonizing OU after poaching Riley.
Lolololol really. OU fan was the one that wouldn’t shut up.
RILEY BLOWS. Screw usc and screw LA
The common denominator problem is Alex grinch.
Bite on!! I guess money doesn't win championships.
I want to make one thing clear, and I am a big OU fan! As soon as lincoln got on the jet and left Norman I got over him leaving, no matter what i say or thing about him, he was never gonna come back thru that OU door, so year let the lincoln thing go SOONER FANS, BOOMER SOONER!!!
Both Riley and Williams are mercenaries. USC will be rid of 2 cancers if they go, and finally get a coach who will be what they need: Tough, hard nose coach who demands physicality. Trojans used to be tough. They are a soft as gummie worms now.
The USC condoms are very leaky at the moment. Time to switch to another brand!!!😂😂😂
i see what you did there!
This loss proved my point years ago that Riley doesn’t create adults, he helps spoiled brats make money. Look at his past QBs ( Jalen Hurts doesn’t count). Caleb Williams looked like he was shaking his head at his own team. He’s immature.
A big difference is that Baker tried to talk up his defense, and owned his mistakes. Yeah, I realize that Baker was more of a Stoops recruit (or walk on more accurate).
@@BigTulsalmao bob stoops, and NOBODY recruited Baker, nobody wanted baker, bc he was too small. Baker walked on to every place he played.
Agree with you. But don't include Baker or Kyler in that mix. Just look at the QBs he actually recruited - Spencer Rattler and Caleb Williams.
Lincoln Riley is facing Ohio State and Michigan next year, and Oregon and Washington the following year...
As a 1965 grad, this is the worst I’ve seen sitting in the Coli…..people furious…yelling profanities! Another blunder hire. Overrated and overpaid. I love SC. This Cardinal and Gold alum is done.
In 1960 John McKay went 4-6 and in 1961 his record was 4-5-1. Did you want to fire him Plaschke ? He only went on to win 4 National Championships. Reporters have rules to follow when they cover USC football. My understanding was he was spoken to about the rules and again decided to break the rules and hence the ban. Personally I thought the ban was wrong.
As for the players not speaking after the game I belleve a lot of them were in tears and did not want to show that to the camera. But again like the media I am jumping to conclusions without know all the facts. Plaschke was never happy with Uncle Pete when he won 2 National Champoinships and 7 seasons of double digit wins. And of course todays Roster still has holes in it when USC has to play multiple freshman on defense because they have no better upperclassmen to put on the field.
And finally I have never been a Dodgers fan. Yankees all the way ! The New York Yankees hold the record with 27 championships, The Dodgers have had 7 championships, ... 27-7 is The Final Score Bill.
LOL, dude pulls a record from the 60s, It's a different game now. Hell the conference is different now. Coach salary is definitely different now. With the type of recruits and transfers Riley is pulling, they should've beat a Utah team with a pig farmer 3rd string QB. Playing freshman is a choice, SC pulled plenty of defensive players from the portal (Cobb, Alexander, Roland Wallace etc..). SC defense is soft, undisciplined and the offense is finally at the point where they think "why am I playing my butt off only to let the defense lose the game for us". If tears is the reason, then tear on.
USC's problem is on the defensive side of the ball. Last time I checked football is still football. The rules of the game are the same. You cannot expect anyone to win right away considering what a mess the program was and there is no talent there especially with the linemen. The game is won in the trenches just like it has always been. There is a reason the Super Bowl Trophy is called the Vince Lombardi Trophy for a man who coached again back in the 1960's. It is the same game today as it was back then. It is not called the Bill Belichick Trophy even though he won 8 Super Bowls. No, it is called the Vince Lombardi Trophy for a reason.
Since Super Bowl XLV, the Vince Lombardi Trophy has been prominently featured in the Super Bowl logo design. Even the great coach Don Shula with Most regular season wins as a head coach (328) and Most total wins as a head coach (347) and Coached only undefeated season through regular season and playoffs his name is not on the Super Bowl Trophy. All the great players of today and great coaches are here today because of those who came before them. It is the same game it has always been. The rules are the same.
I felt your pain, Bill. Boomer Sooner
They don’t want to play for grinch. Riley need to get his house in order.
Love your show Dan, however, Bill makes no sense - Lincoln to the Bears in a two for one deal ? - Please no more Bill !
Here’s Webster’s Dictionary definition of Muleshoe; moo-el-shoo, a quiet west Texas town, also used as an adjective to describe person(s) capable of double speaking regarding two of their possible occupational locales while jetting unannounced to a third. Used as a verb, to describe the act of being oblivious to all superiors, the press corps, and blind devotion to one’s mutually oblivious defensive coordinator. Used in the past tense as if to be muleshoed; similar in context to a fully extended punt kick to the groin of a fan base and taking zero responsibility or questions thereof. Used in the first person as in I was muleshoed, see photo of Caleb Williams or see photo of Lincoln Riley muleshoed by photo of Alex Grinch or photos of USC and OU’s athletic directors.

The football gods shall not be denied accountability.
He's exactly right except for one thing, Caleb will tell whatever team that drafts him to not hire Lincoln Riley. He's already ruined his college career you think he wants him to have a chance to ruin his pro career? Caleb has had horrible body language all season. The second he saw Oklahoma doing well playing good defense he knew he made the wrong choice following Lincoln. He could've stayed at Oklahoma or gone to Georgia/Alabama/Ohio State and actually competed for a national title. He hasn't even played in a playoff game... Lincoln ruined his chances at OU by doing the USC interview the week of OU vs Baylor when OU was 8-0. They lost but still had a chance to make it to the big 12 title and have a playoff chance by winning but that was the week Lincoln told USC he's taking the job and lost again vs OSU in the final game of the season. Everyone knows Lincoln wanted to lose that game so he could leave immediately and go start recruiting for USC which is what he did. He didn't want to potentially win and be in the playoffs making the move even more scrutinized once it was announced and have less time to get going at USC. Then last year Caleb puts up 40pts but still loses to Utah because Lincoln can't develop a defense and gives up 40+ in both games. Now this year they are going to lose 4 or 5 games because of the same issue. Caleb Williams despises his head coach. You gotta pay attention to his body language. He sat on the bench uninterested the entire last drive and didn't get up to motivate his defense even once. He's not a good leader and learning from Lincoln has wasted his entire college career. Caleb Williams does not like Lincoln Riley which is why Lincoln doesn't want them talking to the media because it will add fuel to the fire about how the he has lost the lockerrom. His teams get worse every year and lack physicality because he doesn't make them practice hard or hit constantly due to risk of injury and because he recruits divas instead of blue collar type players. He wants talent over character but coaches like Saban and Venables want guys with character that they can develop because a 4 star that works hard will always beat a 5 star that doesn't in the long run
Jesus Christ on the cross, Bill Plaschke looks and sounds like he's been in a crypt for the better part of a decade

Lol usc fans bought the hook line and sinker ….. they thought they were Oklahoma plug and play….. nope
Name 1 USC quarterback that has gone on to enormous success in the NFL?
So true! The only USC QB who had what some would consider as an extended successful NFL career is Carson Palmer, and he was about as good as a 4th string Pro Bowl QB who gets an opportunity in the Pro Bowl because the 3 ahead of him don't want to go. A few others like Rodney Peete have stuck around but had undistinguished careers.
I do think Caleb has a chance to be great in the NFL because he has all the tools...including being the only run/pass double threat QB that USC has had in my memory aside from Carson Palmer. The era of NFL QBs who can't scare you with their running ability is coming to an end. Likewise, USC's QB futility has been built around recruiting nothing but pocket passers forever - with the exception of Carson and Caleb, and Caleb's got it all over Carson who stopped running pretty early in his NFL career. I've been bashing Riley in these comments, but if he hangs around he'll be bringing in athletic guys like Caleb unlike his predecessors.
Probably because people from LA really don't pay attention to things in Oklahoma IMHO.
There's just so many other things happening in SoCal.
No one would touch Lincoln Riley with a 10-foot pole in the NFL. His teams never play defense. If he has made such a hotdog of USC with all that talent what could he do with an NFL team? Zero!
Good luck to ANY organization if coaches can get on the hot seat after year 2 with a 17-5 record. My God.
Caleb Williams isn't even 1% better as a QB, than he was the day he stepped in to the game at the Cotton Bowl, in the Red River game. He hasn't been developed, in any way. The only thing TBOW had to do with making him what he is today, is talking him in to coming to OU, and then to USC. It never mattered where Caleb played ball at. He just needed 2 years of film.
It was the beginning of the end for college football when the Pac 8 expanded to the Pac 10.
As a fan, i could care less whether the players are interviewed after the game. We care about wins and losses. Nothing they say to the media will affect this. Dont like it find a new job.

Who's journalistic responsibility was it to have done the research of all Lincoln Riley teams when he coached at Oklahoma? All of his defenses were HORRIBLE. Absolutely HORRIFIC.

I would really love to know what Caleb's parents are thinking.
Bought a Vega at Lamborghini prices. Funny as hell.
USC crying about Oregon following them to the BIG10 is straight Karma. They are going to get smoked by a better program and team.
I am always amazed how much of a cry baby plaschke comes off almost regularly… and I’m a OU fan
Plaschke is himself a hype. He blows up his own previously held opinions daily based on yesterday's results. He's just winging it.
Riley wanted no part of the SEC,That’s why he took this Gig.Oh Yeah, And 10 Mil Per.
Too much demand for accountability in Los Angeles really that's the funniest thing I have ever heard this guy has no idea what he's talking about there isn't an NFL team out there that's going to hire Lincoln Riley as their head coach maybe offensive coordinator but not head coach and I think he's wrong I don't think Mary Caleb will be the first overall pick
The NFL is way to big to be dictating for a college quarterback and coach. That is ridiculous to even ponder.
Generational talents can dictate. For instance John Elway. Caleb has great talent but calling him generational is a hype because he lacks the championship mentality of an Elway. He will dictate nothing to anybody -- but he may end up back in Troy next year if he thinks he'll end up with Belichick in frozen soaking Foxboro. That's not happening. He could learn from Hurts, Burrow, and Lawrence who all worked their butts off, paid their dues and have come in to their own playing for unglamourous teams in unglamourous places.
2 for 1 deal is ridiculous.
Incredible how quickly LR has let this thing completely blow up in his face. He the poster boy on NOT how to handle being a Head Ball Coach. Of course, he's smarter than everyone else LOL. Now he's pulling the patented "miss my media obligations because I'm sick", AKA visiting/talking with the NFL team most likely to buy him out of his mess.
It blew up in his face as soon as he had to compete with a couple of decent, though not great teams. The only decent Pac12 team he faced last year was Utah and he got beaten down by them, and then by freaking Tulane in a irrelevant bowl game. Maybe like so many College Big Shot coaches before him, it will take a couple of disastrous NFL campaigns before he and the rest of the world take his extreme limitations seriously.
