Is this a rat leaving a sinking ship, or the result of a difficult post season conversation-(“son, it’s not working out for you here. You might want to enter the portal and find a better fit “?)

Time will tell. If the kid transfers to a blue blood, it’s a bad sign for Riley. If he transfers to a G5, it means the kid wasn’t ready.

They may lose 6-7 games this coming year.  I know he has a huge buyout and they have a lot of money but jeez....

I think they will be better than that, he actually made some decent defensive hires in the offseason so I would imagine a decent jump on the defensive side of the ball. It wouldn't surprise me to see them only lose 2 or 3 games.

Okies hate Riley like they hate KD and Royal (after he turned down their offer when Bud Wilkinson retired). Their insecurity can’t handle it when somebody leaves them voluntarily. 

TBH, I agree with them on Riley. He's a fucking pussy ass bitch and his actions have showed that even while he was there.

I agree that he made some solid defensive hires. That will help, but I don't see a real reason for 10-2 levels of optimism. 

1) The main flaw with a Lincoln Riley program is that he truly doesn't give a shit about defense. He will continue to call the game he prefers and that will continue to put his defense on tilt due to pace.

2) USC lacks dudes right now. Per NFL scouts and college observers visiting practices, they don't have a ton of NFL talent the way they usually do. It's kind of a Texas 2010-2021 issue but with a genius offensive playcaller. 

3) You are not giving their schedule its due, in my view. LSU on neutral ground requiring travel to open will be draining. Utah State is a multiyear bowl team and well-coached. Michigan will still have dudes in Ann Arbor. Wiscy, Nebraska, PSU and Notre Dame will all be fistfights. Minnesota, Rutgers, Maryland and UCLA will all be around bowl eligibility. There are a lot of ways to see them losing 4+ with that schedule. When a well-coached regular bowl participant from the P5 is your biggest lay-up, that's a tough 12 games.

I will be surprised if they're better than 8-4 in the regular season. Vegas has their total at 7.5 so I guess they'd be pretty surprised as well.

They were all correct about him, though.  Them toothless Sooners know their football.

Oh, we’ll see. Y’all were pretty sure you were better with Westbrook than Durant for a while, too. 
 
I’m just amused by how Sooners lose their shit when someone takes a better job and leaves them.

Plus their culture is toxic dogshit and they play like a bunch of pussies.   Fold at the first sign of any adversity.

What?   Nobody hates Royal at OU.  If anything he is owed for multiple titles.  He voluntarily taught OU the wishbone offense.  He also was a great dude by all accounts.  You’re a moron.

Exactly.

I don’t think anyone outside maybe Georgia or  tOSU could go 10-2 with this schedule.  OU will be doing really well to go 9-3.

I’m rubber and you’re glue. Anything you say bounces off me and sticks to you.

Yeah, their DC is supposed to be really good. I think he was UCLA's DC, wasn't he?

Fragile mentality. Stoops had it. Riley has it.

Also,…are you Sooners still bitching about the schedule? After the schedule gift of last year?

Who’s bitching about the schedule you clown ass MF?  I said it’s hard, which is a fact, and they’ll lose more than a couple games.  Where’s the bitching?  Fuck, serious case of shit for brains with you…

They can’t all be Mack…

Mack definitely had a fragile ego. I've never seen such a pussy in my life. I mean holy shit. He didn't even take the UT/OU rivalry seriously. That stupid bastard really told the kids to have fun and it was just another game. Total beta.
