If you actually watched college football over the last 5 years, you wouldn't be so dumbfounded about what's happening at USC.
You Sooner fans are obsessed with us it’s been years now fam get a life. First to comment on every USC discussion it’s sad at this point
You sc fans were beating your chests and bragging about stealing OU,s coaches and players, screaming national championships are coming this yr, jumping on our discussion threads and videos mouthing off, I can give you names, Daniel bitzer, lavon something and more that I can remember, cmon man you guys ain't no angels either
If you liked this year, you'll love next year when USC finishes 6-6. Bet it.
I'm obsessed with football which last time I checked SC kinda plays .........so pipe down dum dum
Sooners aren't obsessed with sc...understand...we're Trying to explain to you blackheads what Brisket was and we had to deal with..him and his friends..Speed D..And Wylie too...Keep crying ✌️
Riley does not coach to win games. He coaches so his QBs can put up huge numbers. Thats why he never runs and plays terrible D so they can keep throwing the second half against terrible teams.
I would say Lincoln Riley coaches to outscore opponents. He doesn't coach to beat teams. This starts with his yoga conditioning program.
@@midnightrider1100Yoga is hard if done right. USC does couch potato conditioning.
I think you give him too much credit. I believe it’s all he knows. He is and should be an offensive coordinator, not a head coach.
Usually be does run well In oklahoma he did... but the d is very sus
Yep, that's why his QBs put up huge numbers and win Heismans!!
USC made a huge mistake by hiring LR and it will cost them 100+ million and several years of a down program before they can recover.
How was that a mistake ? He made ya more relevant ya were firing coaches left and right at least in his first season he got you to the pac 12 championship
Urbal meyer
Anybody remember Colin making fun of guys for saying this 2 years ago. 2 years ago guys tried to tell Colin how much of a mistake USC made.
I remember. He hyped Lincoln Riley ad nauseum on his FS1 show
And you fools keep listening to Colin
@@rahult5170 apparently your counting yourself as well
@rahult5170 you re commeting on hid you tube channel?
🔥… from an OU fan that has tired of Colin’s biases. It’s funny, 10 years ago I couldn’t get enough of Colin’s smart, honest takes. These days I can’t stay far enough away from his mainstream-biz building narratives. First content of his I’ve consumed in mo’s… and it’s only b/c I want to see how he narrates being entirely off base on this one 🔥
Michigan’s schedule is the antithesis of favorable next year: OSU, Texas, Oregon, Washington, USC are not at all favorable. Am I missing something something?
They are sliding because Lincoln Riley isn't smart enough to build a team he took over a team at Oklahoma that was already built and couldn't do anything with it then took half of their players and half of their coaching staff to USC the Trojans are going to be in trouble when they make the move to the Big ten because they are going to get throttled every weekend with him coaching
He has no idea what he’s doing and it’s finally coming to light.
@@litedawg he would still be a nobody at East Carolina if it wasn't for Bob Stoops
As a lifelong USC fan this has been the most frustrating season I can remember in all honesty, including the Helton years. The expectations were through the roof and boy did they come crashing down. The truth hurts Colin, but you gotta tell it like it is.
Said it all year, they don't pass the eye test on the lines. They get manhandled on both sides of the ball. This started with Helton, and unless Riley figures it out, like pretty much our entire fan base has, the coming years are going to be more of the same.
That was Riley's last at OU...yes they won..but were Extremely close to the sc record of this yr...heck they barely beat a Last second traveling team in Tulane
Am I crazy or is Caleb a bit overhyped
Insanely talented but whenever I watch them play it's broken/extended plays, off script stuff
What gets me pissed is the pageantry before home games with the fashion fits. Other top teams wear school logos or uniforms, but SC struts the red carpet?? Embarassing
And it's not going to be any better in the big 10
Riley is failing cause he has no concern for defense. If he had a dc that was just average, a lot of the losses could’ve been wins.
They don't have a "tough guy" culture.
They do yoga and work on fast twitch stuff. When his guys get hit in the mouth they don't hit back.
@@codymoring543 don’t forget ballet bro
You have a team of street fighters like John McKay had. It's about toughness and big guys like Anthony Munoz. Lincoln Riley instills a culture like a flag football team.
"Lincoln Riley instills a culture like a flag football team." Worse. He coddles.
Don’t forget the Cal game SC was extremely lucky to win that one
Exactly. It was just Arizona. Beat California by 2 pt
Hell, they barely beat Colorado….
USC…where Colin was WRONG
Nice to hear John credit Utah's Kyle Whittingham at 3:40. How many Power 5 teams could play Utah's schedule this year without their starting QB (Cam Rising) and still have a winning record at this point of the season?
Is LR coaching for a buyout? Is he trying to retire early?
Riley got a wake up call in the PAC. It goes to show how weak the BIG12 was for him to look like an offensive guru.
😂 Siri play “ BOOMER SOONER”.
Excellent point about rivalries & transfers. Live by portal die by the portal.
Caleb Williams comes across and spoiled and mentally weak. Not a guy to build your franchise around.
He's as soft as Charmin toilet paper he should be a spokesman for them
Let's not forget Colin stated that Caleb Williams was a generational talent. Said it countless times. Now, he carefully back tracks so as not to look totally stupid.
Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams future Raiders Coach and QB 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
it’s worked out so well in college!
Lincoln Riley isn't smart enough to coach in the NFL team it might be him as Caleb's offensive coordinator at La but I don't see them hiring him as head coach and Mary Caleb is not going to make it in the NFL he is too soft
Caleb to my Bears…. Screw Riley.
@@lestercombs1871 you don't want Mary Caleb he's too soft and he tries to do too much he'll get hurt in the NFL he won't last long
Lincoln hasn't even been in a national title game as a player, assistant, oc, and so far a hc. he has no personal blueprint for what it takes.
A rumor going around usc boosters is that the team knows that the pneumonia story was a cover for a trip to colorado to meet with chicago management.
good send him on his way. great hire for the bears if that is who you are talking about
Wow, if you think the Bears stink now, wait until LR is HC there (if that indeed is the position they're offering). He's not ready to be HC in the NCAA much less in the NFL. I understand the HC position in the NFL is a lot less involved, but he still needs to be able to motivate men.
seriously, who would hire that guy?
Ignore the noise and virtue signaling, and Go Blue!!
Cope
Buckeyes are coming
I sent a referral email to the director of recruiting at SC for a family friend's nephew who plays at Serra HS. The kid is a 6'5", 290lb OLineman who can run a 4.85 40 and also plays basketball. Solid footwork and this kid is strong. All I got was crickets. Smh.
Go Lions!!!
But he is an offensive coach Colin, I thought that’s all that matters
It’s been a disaster at USC, Riley now 6 years in has established a great offense every year. He just doesn’t give a rip about defense.
Pete Carroll didn't have a superior dynamic wide out,,,,that played in the League.. Mike Williams and Jarrett were terrible on Sundays, but they had tons of guys in the trenches on both sides. ..SC needs to stop caring about tons of wide receivers and get guys on the dline and O-line and fast linebackers!!
Oklahoman has had the same online coach for 20yrs....it's not brain surgery....it's football...BOOMER
You need a lot better defense. Gonna be rough on you next season. Go Buckeyes.
@lestercombs1871 yes we do...my buckeye friend
When SC last played buckeyes, I just saw a small team vs osu. Couldn't believe it. Nothing has changed. SC needs to get Pete Carroll big. Won't succeed until it happens, ESPECIALLY moving to b10.
If the NFL wants the duo, and USC is willing to let Riley go… the agents will work it out. If USC wants to get better, BUY the best coaches to replace the existing assistants and buy players like you have Phil Knight money. ✌️
How's that been working out for the ducks All these years with the fancy unis and soft as toilet paper defense 😂
Lincoln is still an elite coach. Go look at his record. He’s had 2 losses almost every year. I get it, he hasn’t had the defense to win championships, but he won the big 12 3 times. How many times has Texas won the big 12 in that time? Happiness in life comes down to expectations. If your goal is to be perfect, then anything less than that will be an absolute failure
“Remarkable”
As a Michigan alumni for the past 50 years.
Jim Harbaugh was suspended twice this year and now the firing LB coach represents lack of organizational control.
NCAA is not done with punishment of my Wolverines
Jim Harbaugh should be fired or he needs to resign
As always, Go Blue
I was looking for a championship season from my school. Instead another year of Keystone cops looking defense. Caleb should be upset. I am too. Now the silly move to the Big 10. (anyone think about the time zone differences) SAD SAD SAD 2023 football season!
USC has been like this for awhile now nothing new.
Lincoln’s problem has always been Benny Wylie his strength and conditioning coach. His most successful teams at OU where the first two years when they had the past S&C coach’s mindset. As soon as Benny Wylie came in they got soft.
Jen Cohen will make this all work out just dandy. Don’t worry USC fans. She’s awesome. You just wait.
Thank y9u Colin for saying this!!! I told Ryan Abraham this...He thought USC guys in the transfer portal was big...SC is small...and weak, most guys do terrible in the transfer portal!!
Colin’s feet gotta be tired after all that back peddling! 😂
SC had 3 yards rushing on Saturday
I'm happy Middlekauf said college succeeds with defensive coaches. Offensive geniuses don't win titles.
Bro you repeatedly said this was the mecca of football and college football should be on notice
I don't think either of these two guys has seen JJ play, not after the comments they made. JJ will show up big time this week just like he did last year, throwing the bomb and running for first downs. Last year he ran over two huge Ohio State defenders on one of his runs. I hope Colin and John like crow.😉
I love "Cowhead" having to get off his knees and stop dating Riley...he wouldn't admit the problem at OU was the man at the top...
Uncle T has entered the chat…
Jim Harbaugh would be making a huge mistake staying in Michigan after this year. There will be opportunities to coach in the NFL next year. How do you know the Chargers won't be interested in paying Harbaugh? They can't keep Staley at all. I highly doubt Belicheck will even want to go to the Chargers (not when he would have to deal with Mahomes twice a year and Russell Wilson twice a year). Harbaugh would love to take that challenge.
Uscs main issue is there proximity to the pacific ocean. Hard to grind im southern cal
NOT TRUE…effort is conditional. If team doesn’t like their coach or their qb, team/teammates will give minimal effort…but if coach gets fired or 3rd string qb starts they’ll play like their lives depended on winning.
While I agree with many of Colin's remarks on Lincoln, let's not go crazy, yet. Maybe he's smart to know what he doesn't know? Maybe, in addition to hiring a legit defensive coordinator, he brings in Ed Orgeron to recruit and coach the big guys in the trenches? While I am angrier than most SC fans, I'm not going to bury the guy after one season. If he doesn't adapt, and turn the defense over to competent people, and focus on the big guys, then I'll bury him.
The problem is there moving into league and they're not qualified in next year.
LOL! This just shows you what Colin knows. He wasn’t saying this crap at the beginning of the season. The bottom line is that Riley is a horrible coach! Why doesn’t Colin admit this? You know why? Because he’d have to eat crow!
Not trying to troll when I say this. I honestly thought usc was over rated going into this season.
Horrible take on McCarthy and Michigan not trusting him against PSU. That was about them not trusting the O-line and them trusting their defense. And I think he will stay at Michigan another year after how this season has wound down for him.
JJ was injured coming into Maryland. That was the real reason he played off.
You two need to stop just watching highlights of games and watch games. While JJ McCarthy didn’t play his best against Maryland, he was hurt in that game and it showed. He was 7 of 8 against Penn State before 32 runs in a row but the o-line couldn’t block the Penn State pass rush so the coaches just ran the ball thereafter. I hope JJ stays for another year but if he comes out and falls out of the first round, that NFL team will be getting a franchise QB on the cheap.
I think UM/ OSU got over 19million this year!
Colin your takes on football are increasingly ridiculous. When you veer into politics it’s downright embarrassing. Watch college football if you’re going to talk about it. If you’re going to pretend you understand people and politics try to watch different shows are read different papers along with what you usually do.
there's no tanking in the nfl?!
Haha cowherd saying OU hasn't been top 7 over the years. Don't listen to him. He said USC was going to the playoffs and OU was going to be Nebraska. Usc supposed to be flying by ou by now. More like going in reverse. Now he's twisting himself into pretzels. What a clown.
Oh and Venables has a ton of transfers on the team. USC is soft like their coach and their yoga s&c coach.
Michigan isn’t winning the NC they don’t match up well with Georgia, and Georgia is the clear best team in the country. They don’t have the guys at receiver to stretch Georgia on defense, and Georgia won’t let them run the ball so they’ll be limited on offense. The team that matches up best with Georgia is Ohio State(Texas too IF they play their A game)They’re good in the trenches they play defense, they have elite level RB’s they have elite receivers that can stretch Georgia’s secondary.
What a 180 from a year ago. Cowherd is going to get hurt jumping off the bandwagon.
Cowherd why are you showing off your Caleb Williams autographed jersey?
I HATE show off braggarts
The only way jim Harbaugh wont be at Michigan is if for some reason the bills fire sean McDermott
Stinkin Riley ... Stinkin Lincoln has got to go
1980-2005: SEC 5 National Championships
Since 2006: SEC 13 National Championships
USC, Oregon, Washington, Texas, Arizona…..etc aren’t winning shit. West coast teams never will. Ducks and Huskies are cute stories. But ultimately are not winning it all. Miami and Nebraska are dead forever too. It’s all about the South Region and Ohio State. These 2 groups drive College Football$$ it is what it is.
Colin, you aren’t as smart as you think you are!
I wonder if Colin really thinks the Big Ten will compete with the SEC anymore? Not likely.
We will finally find out when the SEC has to go to a 9 game conference schedule and it's teams have to go through more then a one game playoff
to get to a championship game.
Cowturd used to love eating LR’s salty nuts… not anymore
Bear will not play on Sunday. He left hard practices for soft ones. He has become undisciplined.
@byronpayne7464 The only way he plays on Sundays is if he leaves SC or gets off-season help. SC is not developing anyone
@@byronpayne7464 very much so. Thank you
Just how many prognostications does this guy have to back away from? Almost no credibility in my mind
Colorado is better than USC
not really
Colin seems to be very quiet with his OU hate. Sooners told y’all so. It’s okay we understand football is new to y’all LA snowflakes
Love listening to John. His take on USC/Riley is, unfortunately, true
Get rid of specs and shave!!
18:27 I’d figure “these teams” would’ve had a better shot had Jim Harbaugh’s program not been cheating for the past three years. Could be wrong.
Tell us you don't understand football without telling us you don't understand football.
@@buckerine “us” 😂
Colin... Harbaugh has burned his bridges with the people at Michigan. There is a strong contingent there that want him gone. I'm talking about the people that pull those strings.
All the bs you spewed about how good they were, you should probably have crow for Thanksgiving 😂
I don’t think I’d take the chance of drafting Penix in the NFL. Truly talented and tough kid but 4 season ending injuries in college, 2 ACLs on the same knee and two shoulder/arm joint issues. He deserves to be high up due to his play, I think he’s low on a lot of draft boards cause he’s going to get hit harder in the NFL.
No doubt JJ seems a bit unsettled the past few weeks. What about the game in Columbus in 2022, the kid played out of his head. All Michigan fans would love to see him next year in AA.
Jimmy loves Michigan.
Lincoln is the equivalent of Woke. weak and can't lead
The rivalry didn’t mean anything to USC, because USC doesn’t have an actual rivalry. They also don’t have an actual fan base.
What? The Alumni run the program!
Michigan schedule is not favorable next year, one of the toughest in the country. Texas, Oregon, Washington, USC, PSU, OSU
They don't play Penn State next year
Also you really think USC is going to be a tough game for Michigan at home I don't think so
@@johnmandock56 true, but they still have 4 of the current top 7 on the schedule (OSU, Washington, Oregon, Texas). That's an insane schedule
@@CoffeeNo0b0514 well then they can't say they don't play anybody
@@johnmandock56 right, but my original comment was a reply to Colin saying Michigan had a favorable schedule next season. Not sure what hes looking at.
The 🤡 show
Colin you should give Oklahoma fans an apology they tried to warn you.
We don't want an apology from cowturd
I recall Oklahoma fans crying a river. They still are not over their ex. They are the jilted lover that years later is blabbling about their ex
@@bobnewsdog if you say so
@@bobnewsdogexactly. Sooner fan literally scorched earth with Lincoln turning his back and being greedy. Now, they say..”I told you so” and that Lincoln is horrible. I don’t care much for LR but the jilted lover syndrome from Sooner fan is laughable
@@jdwilmothbecause he’s correct doorknob
"Imagine thinking, in the era of offensive football, Brent Venables was an upgrade over @LincolnRiley. Sooner fans truly believed it." - Colin Cowherd Oct. 8, 2022. 🤣🤣🤣 Who are the delusional fans now? 😉5:03
As a usc fan I'm sorry yall were right about lincoln
As an OU fan I can feel your pain. Lincoln Riley is like that great looking car that is always in the shop@@philiphahn6086
oklahoma but i wouldnt put them in that class. they have 4 playoff appearances, they have how many big 12 chips? like 7 lol. oklahoma is easily a top 5 to 6 team the last 10 years.
As a Buckeye fan, I concur with your argument.
Ou has 12 big 12 chips. Most in the big 12 by a long shot.
These guys are right that the transfer portal has changed the dynamic of rivalries. But at the 8:31 mark, John Middlekauff said that Chip Kelly doesn't care much about the program. That's just flat out wrong. Chip makes his UCLA players stand in front of the team & share the story of a former Bruins football player. What Chip lacks in the enthusiasm department, he makes up for in passion for the history of the program he's in charge of. You should see the way Chip chokes up when talking about the late great Terry Donahue and filling in his shoes.
Lincoln Riley is the Jimbo Fisher of the West
Cowturd broke up with Lincoln????? 😂😂😂
We OKLAHOMA FANS told yall about the disrespect shown to lincoln because he is a girl, the OKLAHOMA players used to call him "LINC" or "LINCOLN" instead of COACH, plus he was scared of BAKER MAYFIELD and CALEB WILLIAMS as well, listen to lincoln talk about caleb, one game this year he said 'CALEB WOULDNT LET ME TAKE HIM OUT THE GAME," ... WHOS THE COACH HERE?
Riley has been in decline every step of his head coaching career. Sliding downward for him is simply a trend.
Please Colin come back on the Peristyle Podcast and drop this fire on Ryan Abraham. He has become delusional in his defense of Lincoln Riley
Yup Ryan is delusional
Wow Colin , finally telling the truth about Riley.
My how the turntables!
Lincoln is an offensive coach. Period. He's a great OC and a great QB coach. He's not ready to be a CEO of a blue blood. He got gifted the job at Oklahoma, thought he saw greener pastures (and good for him even if the manner in which he left makes him look like a POS) and left for USC. Will he learn how to be a CEO? It's a 100 million dollar experiment that USC has gambled on here.
he's not a great OC or play caller, that is a crock.
GIVE MY U of A Wildcats some love!
Riley is nit a championship coach Oklahoma lucked out for him leaving now watch ou win a cfp game This bv 2nd year & they’re getting better usc is trouble unless Riley changes were in trouble
This year, usc is much closer to 3-9 actually. Cal should have beat them and almost did. Colorado should have come back and beat them. AZ had them beat and just didn't go for two in OT. AZ st had them on the ropes. 4-8 or 3-9. This is a train wreck program that payed LR 100+ million. Here's hoping he has a off-the-field scandal sometime soon.
If not for CW they easily would have been 3-9, Riley an offensive genius, I think not
@@BubbahotepEagle 2-10. No CW and then lose 1 more possibly.
John McKay was once asked why he was having success against ND and he replied, "big and fast beats big and slow every time". The same holds true for "small and fast", though I don't view USC as being that athletic. Some offensive coaches, like Harbaugh who did play QB, are from an era where it was understood that line play and physical defense still wins a lot of games. As John mentions, Riley is a true product of Mike Leach, where QB play and the passing game dictates everything. Leach had to run a gimmick offense in Pullman and Lubbock to get 6 or 7 wins and a bowl berth. In Norman and LA, Riley can win on both sides of the ball but chooses not to, because he doesn't know how to. That's how you get Alex Grinch, small players, and soft football.
McKay is spinning in his grave. Can you imagine what Mark Goux would be saying about the program right now.
Marv, typo
One of my favorite McKay quotes - a reporter asked if he preferred a big and slow team or a small and fast team - he puffed his cigar and said ... "Big AND Fast"
UCLA Baby!!!
Media turning against Riley is awesome
