Coaching Carousel



  • Riley to USC is a shocker. All that pumped up bologna to LSU. Florida gets Napier. No Idea what LSU is getting but they seem to have missed a good opportunity to have a coach here before ESD. Seems like no matter who they hire they have missed the ball if it doesn’t happen in the next few days. Coaches can go in-home and have big recruiting weekends before ESD now.

    As a FSU fan I’m hoping some dominos fall our way because of this…



  • Started here as well. Drake and Jackson are out. Replaced with Onatolu and Jordan Peterson



  • Lol hearing Oklahoma all in a stew , pretty much Riley packed up and got out in the middle of the night. Was at the Airport him and staff still dark this morning and leaving - -lmao .Like they said kinda Carma coming back and smacking Oklahoma right back in the gut.

    Before the common OU Joe when they bolted and saying they going to the SEC - -the OU fan saying HEY that’s the way it goes we gotta look out for ourselves, NOW it’s happened to Oklahoma. Sports program stating have no idea why Riley would leave for USC - -and how the PAC 12 is trash. - Now Oklahoma saying what we gonna do. - Rattler transferring - - lots of smoke about Williams transferring. They saying they never thought Riley would leave unless it was the NFL- - now I’m loving this - -called Karma what OU and Texas did to the Big 12 - -Now Riley did t Oklahoma



  • Just read off the Soones Board that Venables was to be named the New Head Coach at around 3:00 this afternoon. - Most seem happy but conern aout him being able to maintain all the offensive talent they have

    Also being reported that Lincoln contract for USC is to be 110 Million & USC is buying both his homes in Oklahoma -& Unlimited use of USC jet for the Riley family. - - now this is all rumor but thats what is coming out from local sports media

    So Ok , guessing maybe I’m more Naive then what I thought. I just don’t see why the move Anywhere. I mean he is already at a top notch program , awesome facilities, always top recruits , very winning program, probably gets anything he asks for - -don’t see a step up improvement for sure - -to USC? - -not a better program at the very best lateral move great fan base - -I just can’t see the advantage - -why? - - -I’m sure he makes a butt load of money from his Base Salary and then all the endorsements - -tell me how does USC be a better position then Oklahoma - the league he is moving to by far is no better - I 'll wait go ahead fill me in

    The path to a playoff at USC and the P12 is much easier than the SEC, even if the playoffs expand. In the new SEC, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Auburn, LSU, Florida, Texas, and Texas A&M are all teams that are or will consistently be threats to win the SEC. In the PAC 12, it’s usually Oregon or Utah that’s the biggest hurdle.

    Coming into this season, you could’ve added Washington to that list of Pac-12 contenders, but their program imploded after a series of on- and off-field missteps. Now they’re in the middle of their own coaching search. The Huskies are set for a rebuild that’ll take at least a couple of years. UW has the money to get a quality coach, just not USC or Nike/Oregon money.



  • now just saw coming off the bleacher report: - -Breaking News , Brett Venables has verbally agreed to become OU’S next head Coach.

    DJ Viagalelei and numerous players are expected to join him

    Venables thing might be true. Rest is not.



  • Wow. Brian Kelly to LSU



  • Poaching rn is unreal. Who’s next?



  • Fickell to the domers?

    I’d very surprised if Venables wants anything to do with OU after the way they ran him off for Mike Stoops a few years back.



  • Lincoln Riley is also affecting OU’s recruiting class as they their lost 5 star QB in the 2022 class. Spencer Rattler also announced he is transferring which was going to happen regardless of Lincoln Riley considering he was benched.

    Their 22 and 23 classes are decimated. Now they’d leaning on old Big Game Bob to salvage what he can.

    Saw $15m/year for Kelly at LSU. Just stuuuupid money

    that would be great if he didn’t. I’m more then satisified to see whatever happens with them - -don’t feel any sadness towards that program what so ever



  • This post is deleted!


  • Venables to OU is a homerun, all things considered. Oh well, to the SEC they soon go. Major coaching moves. Riley was a surprise, but Kelly even more.



  • @FarmerJayhawk makes too much sense right? Lots of Urban Meyer talk but I don’t see it.

    Can’t see Urban being a hit with the ND folks, bad fit especially in light of his off-the-field issues. Seems like its Freeman & Fickell



  • It’s going to be hard to top this years Carousel that’s for sure. The money being thrown around to these coaches is going to create a point of no return. Tucker started it and its just continuing to balloon

    Has Venables been hired as the OU coach? All that I’ve heard is Stoops as interim. Cincinnati had better step up to the plate, or they’re going to lose their coach. Can they compete moneywise with Notre Dame? Not a chance. But they can make it easier for him to stay. He’s built a program, and going to the Big12 can only help in recruiting.

    Nobody has been hirred just yt. I posted yesterday that Veneables had verbally agreed to be OU’S next Coach.- - - NOT TRUE , not yet anyways , got the information from a fake Bleacher report… His name is being thrown out along with Kingsbury and some others but no one yet. - The fans want a quick selection because of them losing r ecruits - nothing yet

    Do you blame the fans? Lol. Not a good look for Riley imo, not even coaching his team in whatever bowl game and even taking Grinch and looting their recruits. I’d be extremely pissed if were an OU alum and or bigtime OU fan.

    When Roy left the program he did it with class. He didn’t poach the players that he had recruited to play at KU.

    True , what I read & heard Riley and staff that went with him kinda did like the NFL team did that packed up in the middle of the night and kicked rocks snuck off kinda slithered. - A lot think Williams is going to the portal also - -No Rattler , No Williams - -No 5 * 2023 QB - I love it lol , - the bank is open - -the flood gates WIDE OPEN

    He sent his players a text ? - - WTH ? - that is just total classless



  • @jayballer67 that’s what he did. Just bailed in the middle of the night, ditched the program and sent all his players a forwarded text.

    Total BS buddy - you would think that might effect his resume in the future with OTHER programs if he changes again



  • Hmmmm , see if anything comes of this. - -Just heard that the Iowa State Ad in an round about way saying ISU fans should be prepared of Campbells leaving specualtion between him & fickell or is it Bickell of Cinn for the job



  • sorry i know this isn’t Coach but more about transfer portal K/State has lost another -they now have lost two out of their top three running backs. - Ervin yesterday & Wright today - Just Vaughn remaining out of the top three on depth chart

    Also Oklahoma has now lost YET another player. Starting TE Austin Slogner - -and it just keeps getting better



  • Riley met with his team sun. I think Kelly sent a text. Probably should dble check facts.

    if you look at 1000 different articles - -a 1000 different takes. - - Kind of hard to meet with the team on a Sunday when he is at the airport with what staff is leaving with him and leaving in the middle of the night



  • talk now is Marvin Mims i strongly considering the trnsfer portl - I guess he has actually been thinking about it anyways for awhile. OU’S leading receiver an avg of 21.6 yards per reception -even more strongly now since Jadon Haselwood - - Theo Wease - - & Austin Stogner has entered the transfer



  • @jayballer67 it’s on espn





  • Riley absolutely gutting OU.



  • Has Oklahoma hired a Coach yet ? - - not good



  • Not that I’m aware of. Pretty classless on Riley’s part…

    Yeah, he wanted to go back to Texas. KU was willing to match whatever was offered.

    There will be a few. Though I’ve heard no main contributors.



  • Jim Panagos is the new DL Coach. At least, he’ll coach some DL spot. I’ve gotten conflicting info on specific assignments. Either way, this is a great add.



  • Pro tip. If you’re the head coach at a prominent university in Alabama, do not, and I repeat, do not, have an affair with your assistant. Even if you moved her from Boise to Auburn. Just don’t do it. Even if she’s a very nice lady.

    Will be fun to see where they go from here.



  • @FarmerJayhawk so dumb!



  • @FarmerJayhawk Losing coordinators too.





  • @BShark It’s not going to end well. He will get dumped by his team, his wife, and his girlfriend. Probably all at the same time.
