Riley to USC…the inevitable Josh Heupel to OU freak out thread

[IluvdoubleD's]

moses... you have grud on that list.

 

[vols 30]

Jesus Christ VN is so dumb sometimes. You guys need help.

Yes. We've never had a coach leave after just one year

Not really understanding the Riley leaving OU for USC. Seems like a lateral move to me. I thought Riley would get a NFL job at some point. Another thing to consider is the fact that Stoops had the cupboard stocked pretty good before Riley took over but that’s not the case at USC. He could struggle a bit at first

I don't get it either, P12 is a bush league now, especially in Football.

Granted he's got access to that SoCal recruiting pipeline but OK paired with SEC would have been much better for him.

It is somewhat humorous that Florida dumped Dan Mullen to hire Billy Buzzcut. Whatever happens and I don't think Heupel will leave, I think Danny White can make a sound coaching hire if necessary just like the last time.

Heupel isn’t leaving. He has a good relationship with the AD who brought him into this job. He’s doing fantastic. But he’s settled in at Tennessee. Relax.

NM., misread the thread title.

Well.. Cutcliffe just became available

His route to a natty just got ten times easier than staying at OK.

I'm not worried this time... But I remember last time.. Getting up to check the message board and being like.... WTH happened last night!

 

[uncle chewii]

Stoops is my guess. He's maxed out at Kentucky and they need defense in a bad way with a coach who has SEC roots.

Ive said for years that if Stoops gets in a good school and gets an offensive he can be dangerous. KY has made leaps and bounds of improvement under him.

I'm not either, but I've seen a lot of crazy **** in sports.

 

[vanillagorilla]

Why in the hell would heupel want to leave the SEC east to most likely join the SEC west? Riley wanted no part of the SEC in my opinion.

 

[onevol74]

Must be intimidated by OU move to the SEC.

 

[TC 83]

Josh Heupel is not leaving and we don’t need to give him a raise yet. Geeezus. What world do some of you live in?

 

[VAVol85]

Unlikely. If you knew the circumstances he left under. Would be going back to the same AD and boosters that ran him out of town.

I can see Heupel considering an OU offer some day, but not this time around.

I don’t think Mark wants to live in his brothers shadow

 

[jarnol32]

No disrespect to Heupel but Oklahoma would have to strike out on major targets before even considering Heupel.

Man I literally remember reading an article before kiffin bolted to usc, and they named like 11 guys that would have to turn it down before it got to Lane.
. That night he got the job.
I hope this is not a case of deja vu.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Only at TN would a thread like this exist

 

[AustinMem]

What assistants?

None in particular at this point, but I have very little concern with losing Heupel. With all the coaching turnover, it is more likely to me that one or more of the assistants gets attention

 

[lilesrt]

Open the checkbook to keep JH


Short list if we lose JH

Dana Holgerson
Lane Kiffin
Peyton
Gruden
Luke Fikell

Look for UKs Stoops to OU

The only Stoops they want in Norman is Bob. Mark isn’t interested in following in his brother’s footsteps. Ridiculous.

 

[lukeneyland]

Isn’t there bad blood between Heupel and Oklahoma?

There is but we need to offer him a big time raise. His value is going to be huge based off what he could be able to do

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Agreed. Also people forget that Heupel and OU were not in good standing when JH left. OU is a premier job. They will be able to hire a top notch coach. Even if they somehow don’t, Heupel likely isn’t even on their list.

Lane Kiffin and Fikell only 2 on that list worth calling. The rest of them is a hard NO!!!

You keep saying this but Heupel hasn’t earned big time raise.
