I believe that is certainly one reason....... He'll never be a big time winner at SC if he keeps Alex Grinch.

The lack of understanding of defense coaching is part of why I say he never grew into th HC role. He also did not know the importance of special teams, and let desire to be play caller prevent him from adequate game management. Lots of times when he should have been yelling at the refs, he was buried in the sidelines doing play calling...

If you take him at his word, that he decided in an hour after the Okie State loss to take the USC job, this would have been his input at that time. 1 barely got third in a down year for Big 12, 2 could not get adequate results from the 2 #1 5 star QBs that he actually recruited, 3 his results had been on a downward trajectory , 4 his path to playoffs would be tougher InThe SEC.......After the loss to Okie State Riley’s future at Oklahoma did not look very good.......

However many believe he decided back in August when his agent first talked to USC. In that case people speculate Riley’s bad results in 2021 were due to him being checked out and already planning his USC moves.

Don’t know which is true . BUT the Oklahoma Offense was vastly better in the bowl game with Riley gone and Cale Gundy calling the plays....
