Lincoln Riley to interview
- Thread starter vkj91
- Start date
I knew he has a lot of potential and would be a HC eventually, but didn't see an SEC team going after him this early.
yes we know you love him. yes he is a Wiz Kid it doesn't mean he is ready or capable of running a multi million dollar operation just yet. It wouldn't have surprised me to see him interview in the MAC or even AAC but the SEC?
Yes. And it showed - a more experienced coach would have turned it around faster (but we couldnt afford that.)
Not my favorite because of the lack of experience, I'm worried about a Kliff Kingsbury/Kevin Wilson issues. BUT I'll take him over the Goldens, Cristobals because I'd prefer someone with expertise on one side of the ball. To prevent him from becoming a Kingsbury or Wilson we need to pair him with top DC like Aranda or Barry Odom or someone like that. If the money isn't going into the HC, it should be manifesting itself in the staff specifically the coordinators.
He took a walk on QB and made him a Heisman candidate. Give him an interview in NJ.
Wow everything wrong with NJ fans right here.
He's ready and capable so screw all that dumb sh!t. How old was Schiano when he got here. This man is a way better game manager and doesn't need much talent to win. This would be a hire that'll set Rutgers up for a good 20 years.
I'm not only trying to win here people! The goal is to beat Sparty, Urban and Jim and this man will figure it out.
Rutgers doesn't need muching changing around. We've already got the athletes and the recruiting ground. Rutgers just needs a good coach. UNC went from getting their teeth kicked in by us to playing for The ACC Championship with a good hire. We're not asking Lincoln to build from the ground up. With a good coaching plan we can run with Sparty and with bad coaching we get blown out by OSU.
Yes, if only Terry Shea were a few years older he would have gotten the job done.
Of all the things you've said for the sake of sounding like an idiot, this was your most successful effort.
Schiano was only a successful DC at one school before he took this job. Lincoln has been a successful OC at Texas Tech, East Carolina and now his offense has proven to be the diffence maker that propelled Oklahoma back to prominence. I've been telling you guys about this guys for years now. He simply plays ahead of his time and will be the most successful and loyalist coach Rutgers has ever had.
I love lincoln. Great guy.
He reached out to be the OC at Rutgers 2 times to flood. Flood never even called.
Hope he lands the South Carolina gig
Current CEO of Burger King took over when he was 33. Yeah, I know, big difference between 33 and 32. :smiley:
I would love for us to take a serious look at this guy.
Big difference with handing Schiano the keys to build the worst program in college football at the time vs taking a job at a SEC established program.

#SouthCarolina is very intrigued by #OU OC Lincoln Riley. He's 32 but one of the sharpest minds in college football & mature beyond his yrs.

He's been a successful OC in Texas Tech, East Carolina and OU but some people here think he's too young LOL. His offense had been the difference maker that put The Sooner back in the championship hunt. This will be a slam dunk hire. We need someone that'll figure out away to be Urban, Sparty and Jim and he's the man to do it.
I don't think he's been an OC at TT. He wouldn't leave OC at TT to be OC at ECU. Just did a quick look and he wasn't.
I'd prefer more experience at the P5 level being coordinator. This was his first year. Do it about 3 years combined with his ECU days and I'd like the resume better. The other worry is having another Kingsbury/Wilson who has no D. He'd have to understand the importance of having at least a mediocre D. Does he? I don't know. That being said I'd take him over Golden/Schiano/Cristobal and really emphasize and give him the budget for a top DC.
