@@StripedSooner I beg to differ. All my life. 5th generation okie. I still live on and own the original dirt my family got in the land run. My wife has a doctorate from ou. We both have degrees at Stillwater and she is a professor there now since she hated even being on campus in Norman. Stuck up prudes and punks. There is more oklahoma in my blood than there is your county. Sooner? That's a joke as much as the reasons ou football fans have for liking ou football. Sure there are a few alums and good reasoning to like ou. Almost everyone I know just picked them a team.
Riley became a big name in CFB because Bob Stoops hired him to be the OC, and then pegged him as his replacement when he retired. All of Riley’s meaningful success in coaching has been because of the opportunity he has had at OU, and how does he repay us? By leaving for USC.
Your so Right, because he was handed Bob Stoops Sooners already firing on all cylinders, already a well oiled machine ... all he had to do was steer the ship, He did not even do that really all that well...So he is off to a beautiful State yet an insane hell hole... where the insane outnumber the sane 2 to 1 ...pink cryly should fit right in. reap what you sow...
I’m ecstatic about this. He was too soft for Oklahoma and SEC. the only horrible thing is the recruits. Arranda can take us to the defensive promise land.
I think I said a couple of days ago we will not be going to the SEC with Lincoln Riley.I love this move. BOOMER. Time to get a hard nose football coach
Listening to WWLS the Sports Animal, Al Eschbach said that Lincoln told OU he didn’t want to coach in the SEC. Joe Castiglione and others worked really hard to come to an agreement with Lincoln, but could not. If someone is avoiding the challenge of coaching SEC, you don’t want him. NOW the season makes sense. How messy it was!
I'm sickened by this. I feel betrayed. I'll always think of the Sooners as the favorite weak to weak but as for Lincoln, I'll never look back and call him a sooner. I too feel that shock.
Kind of true huh?.... I kept looking for this OFFENSIVE Genius and i just kept looking and looking... maybe it will show up at USC, ...SOME PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN SODOM! Choices...he made a whooper!
Yeah lincoln can't coach offense any more, grinch had 2 good years of some what good defense. And then guess what this year back to a horrible defense again , they ate good 11 or 10 win coaches but not national championship winning coaches
Us Sooners are just like The character Florida from the show good times saying dam dam dam! There was OU fans wanted Lincoln Riley gone. They just got there wish.
The ultimate act of betrayal ! The players we will lose to transfer , not to mention the 22 and 23 recruits ! I do think he is losing his " Magic " . We are lucky we weren't 5 & 5 or 6 & 4 this year ! 2 5 star Quarterbacks , 5 star wide receivers , almost everyone back from last year . He did a Terrible job calling plays . Our only hope is for Bob Stoops to step in for next year and start finding a positive coach ! Bill Snyder had to come back for Kansas State in a time of crisis . Coach Stoops , WE NEED YOUR LOYALTY AND WISDOM TO HELP US MAINTAIN ! I am glad riley is gone . Riley looks you in the eye and tells you how much Oklahoma means to him and the Oklahoma Family . You don't stick a dagger in your families heart ! I bet he doesn't last long out in the desolate place called Los Angeles !
I agree and I think he was worried about the move to the SEC and sees a program and conference with a much easier path to the playoffs!!!! Shocked my contacts in the OU program said they were told this morning he was leaving and they are shocked!!
Yeah the sad thing is though it may be easier to get into the playoffs from the pack 12 but he will still lose in the semi finals to a big 10 or sec champ like he did all those other years. But ou will find a better coach I'd rather see a national title every 5 years or so rather than an 11 or 10 win season every year and lose in the playoff or just barely miss the playoff every year
He couldn't take the SEC heat man. Tail tucked from the LSU job. Pulled the ripcord with OU going to the SEC. You didn't want him. He wants to go to the west coast and cherry pick weak teams like he did in the Big 12 for years. You will find the right guy.
I think this is a crappy move especially after the loss to osu. I really don't understand why anyone would live in a state that has riots, logging, and insane covid mandates. Not to mention the cost of living there.
Don't be so sure.... This does a lot of damage to the program the biggest hit will be with recruiting most likely every new recruit will follow Riley to California thats a year waisted then the transfers will start talent WILL leave. This move puts us in rebuilding instead of being contenders.... Oh and we won't just lose Riley a huge part of coaching staff will leave too......we were set up to go into the sec and play now we will go and lose
Bro I know your pain but this could no will restore our defense if they hire well which they will. You see bro I never was sold on Alex Grinch speed D and if we took that defense into the SEC well in all honesty we'd get embarrassed. In my opinion I know that the powers that be will pick the right coach. I'm truly grateful that Lincoln left since he wants to use Alex Grinch. Love your channel Bro keep up the excellent work
Here is my fear. Why would Riley do this? I can only think of two reasons. 1. He, Riley did NOT want to go to the SEC. And worse yet, 2. The Administration refused to put forth the capital to hire the support staff needed to compete in the SEC. This isn't quite as treasonous as going to LSU would have been, but to say the least this is a betrayal and a gut punch. I'm not sure who we should get next, Aranda, if possible. I trust Joe C as well but yeah, this really hurts badly. Oh, how about... Mike McDonald, DC at Meatchicken, Pro experience with the Ravens and a Georgia so he knows the SEC. Lyin' Riley.
There may be things we don’t know about. 1. Are there internal politics in the program that we’re not aware of? 2. Was his opinion seriously considered before joining the SEC or was he just told “ Hey Lincoln, we’re joining the SEC and glad you’re the HC of this team”? 3. Was he denied funding for certain position coaches, amenities, etc to elevate OU to the next level? 4. Did he present the new opportunity to the AD and asked him to match the offer only to be told no? We just never know but it still is not a good feeling as an OU fan. Bob Stoops can take this job and surround himself with some brilliant assistants. Just saying.
For the love of God don’t call Lane Kiffin. We need Aranda or Fickell. Be prepared for the 2022/2023 recruits to go with him also. Especially those 5 ⭐️ from Cali.
I feel you. I have been a Sooner since the days of Bud Wilkinson and In all of those years following the Sooners this is the lowest blow I have ever seen to the program. Riley’s name will live in infamy at OU forever
Leaving for the pros. I get it but usc? The usc trolls will say it’s a better program but it’s not and they are almost done. That’s why they needed Riley. But all good. We are Oklahoma. We will be just fine ;)
I agree with everything you said. I feel like he betrayed the program. Unless we get a top notch coach to replace him, our recruiting is going to hurt for who knows how long. We have to replace a HC and an OC. Grinch is practically useless now because he won't be able to get the defensive recruits he's been shooting for. I honestly think he didn't believe he could compete in the SEC. He can build up USC because who are they competing against.
i think joe c is happy. he could see lincoln was letting his players push him around and force him to play a freshman qb. its not a popularity contest and lincoln lost control of the team because of it. kennedy brooks would not block for spencer rattler. should have benched him. as it turns out the feshman qb was no better than rattler. joe c could see it. surprised nobody else is saying it. glad coach bob is back
This video says a lot about you, not Lincoln Riley. "SNAKE"? Really. It doesn't make since that a man chooses his life path and it's not what you think he should do. He made his choice. You can't make it for him. Except it and wish him well. You sound selfish and salty that he left OU. This video is PATHETIC!
He couldn't compete in the SEC with the elites without cheating, at USC he can win and make the playoffs. OU will lose all the 23' 5 star recruits and be a mid tier program in the SEC without cheating and leveling the playing field, I'm an OU fan and this feels like betrayal in all regards.
No, he is a snake for the way he went about it. It literally hurts the whole program. From current players, recruits, top QB's, etc. The good news is most college coaches would leave their jobs in a heartbeat to be OU coach. We just have to choose the right one
@@paulvon2378 Not at all lol. He's literally gonna be the same at USC. Just have a good offense, be better than Oregon, win the pac12, and then get slaughtered in the playoffs. Scared of the SEC
My goodness the OU fans that’s crying about him leaving, it’s human nature to want change at some point…. Btw, OU isn’t a top 5 school…. Too 10 yes but not top 5…. Just go get Joe Brady and call it good, at least he’s not scared of the SEC.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to the USC President and AD. OU Has UPGRADED. And Much Respect to Bob Stoops 👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺
Agreed, I’m pissed as well. He seemed disconnected for a bit at OU. Deep cut.
It explains alot on his coaching the past month
I can’t believe he went out like this…
I can. He's a typical sooner at heart. Counterfeit
@@kd78orangerangerpete30 he ain't no Sooner
@@chestercarter6081 he was. Not now. That's what makes him a typical sooner.

He will be fired in 2 years if usc doesn't get a national title , usc goes through coaches left and right
I’m ecstatic about this. He was too soft for Oklahoma and SEC. the only horrible thing is the recruits. Arranda can take us to the defensive promise land.
Yeah we need a tough-minded, gritty coach. One who cares about defense just as much as offense. Aranda would be my first call
I think I said a couple of days ago we will not be going to the SEC with Lincoln Riley.I love this move. BOOMER. Time to get a hard nose football coach
‘Snakes’ is a PERFECT description of this! You are not the only one who is upset
He road Stoops recruits for a bit, couldn’t get over the hump in an easy conference. OU is actually fortunate he left, he was not SEC material.
Listening to WWLS the Sports Animal, Al Eschbach said that Lincoln told OU he didn’t want to coach in the SEC.

He seemed distracted the last three games. All makes sense now.
Great video brother!
We upgraded with Venables 👌🏽 😎
Glad he's going! Hope he takes Grinch with him! His coaching has regressed the last 2 or 3 years.

Subscribed due to this post. Straight facts
I'm big mad. But it shows his character. Stoops didn't roll like that, he ain't going to do aby better at USC. He don't want any SEC smoke!
I think this is a crappy move especially after the loss to osu. I really don't understand why anyone would live in a state that has riots, logging, and insane covid mandates. Not to mention the cost of living there.
Yeah that whole state is shit shit shit!!
How do we access the JP and Trap show?? @indy
Couldn’t agree more brother. I’m just hurt and shocked. This is horrible and I just don’t understand. Screw him and get the hell out of Norman Lincoln
Nobody else would have given him the (Golden Ticket) opportunity that Coach Stoops and OU gifted him with.
Your right I feel so betrayed
In Bob we trust! I'll coach 🤚
I hate how he left things but honestly he needed a oc . he's basically a great oc but avg hc it's lame as fuck how he did us but we keep on rolling
Big OU fan here. Shocked. Riley’s choice though. OU has to hire brilliantly. If they do, OU will be fine. Boomer!!
Sooner!
Don't be so sure....
This does a lot of damage to the program the biggest hit will be with recruiting most likely every new recruit will follow Riley to California thats a year waisted then the transfers will start talent WILL leave.

I wonder if this pisses off the players. Like this is why we’ve had shit game plans cause this dude is more busy planning his exit.
This is gonna gut all the great 2023 recruiting. That’s the biggest sting.
Oklahoma didn't have any assistant coaches to step up?

I share your anger. We deserved better.
For the love of God don’t call Lane Kiffin. We need Aranda or Fickell. Be prepared for the 2022/2023 recruits to go with him also. Especially those 5 ⭐️ from Cali.
Of those 3 I would get Kiffin. Maybe Fickell is good but Kiffin has CAJOLES
I feel you. I have been a Sooner since the days of Bud Wilkinson and In all of those years following the Sooners this is the lowest blow I have ever seen to the program. Riley’s name will live in infamy at OU forever
Snake is way too nice!
He was allergic to SEC lol you know how that go
He was afraid of going to play in the SEC, he went to a lesser conference
UT Student and while Im glad to see Riley gone I would be quite happy to see Coach Stoops stick around at OU that would be something
I'm so glad that you titled your video TRUTHFULLY. Riley is a snake!
Leaving for the pros. I get it but usc? The usc trolls will say it’s a better program but it’s not and they are almost done. That’s why they needed Riley. But all good. We are Oklahoma. We will be just fine ;)
It's USC enough said!
Agree. This is majorly disappointment. OU on edge of breakthrough and he bails and likely snakes top recruits from Cali!!
His tenure means nothing. Wait til we play him! He is the new KD. He is soft and blown multiple big games. What a snake!
OU should throw all the money at Lane Kiffin, his offense in the Big 12 would be dominating and then he is already ready for the SEC.
No defense
What do you think of someone if they can go get Matt Rhule?
Fight on
Lied 2 his players 2 smh
Dude its business not personal money talks and fear of the sec is real
👍
I'M PISSED OFF THIS IS JUST LOW DOWN AND DIRTY.TIME TOO MOVE ON BOOMER SOONERS.
Benedict Arnold was a better man than Lincoln is.
Fr 😂
Hang in there, we are angry with you friend
I really dislike what Lincoln Riley did but it is time to move on and he will get his it will come back to get him 3 fold
All of our good recruits… gone
My bulls lost, my bruins lost, my sooners lost to freaking OKst and now this.... Oh ya want me to spazz today lol
Oh and my steeler got blown out

When he turned down LSU I thought he was staying at OU
It's a shocker. He crapped all over his own name. I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's a 2-3 year setback. We will get up and move on. Boomer
i think joe c is happy. he could see lincoln was letting his players push him around and force him to play a freshman qb. its not a popularity contest and lincoln lost control of the team because of it. kennedy brooks would not block for spencer rattler. should have benched him. as it turns out the feshman qb was no better than rattler. joe c could see it. surprised nobody else is saying it. glad coach bob is back
Go get Venables.
If someone offered me a million dollars to leave OU fans behind, I'd run like a scalded dog too..
Lane. Kiffin.
It is all about money.
Kliff Kingsbury
No he is soft. And you right he is a snake and he will take Rattler with him which I'm ok with. Hope Caleb stays

You make a good point but this is about loyalty. So tho you both are making good points I'm siding with the chnl host with 51 percent interest.
Where's Howard Smellinberger at when you need him?
🐍
😭
PAC 12 sucks, I hope Oregon destroys them
Bold prediction: OUs next HC will be a white dude.
Get ready for a return to 7 and 5 seasons, maybe 8and 4
Return? The few times we entered those types of seasons we came back stronge once we found the right coach.
He couldn't compete in the SEC with the elites without cheating, at USC he can win and make the playoffs. OU will lose all the 23' 5 star recruits and be a mid tier program in the SEC without cheating and leveling the playing field, I'm an OU fan and this feels like betrayal in all regards.
