Noteworthy:

He is the younger brother of USC head coach Lincoln Riley.

TCU had the 9th highest scoring offense in the 2022 season with 38.8 pts/game. He was awarded the 2022 Broyles Award for the top assistant coach in college football.


I would say this guy would be a solid OC but he's like the QB development guy, which is good too.

He looked good running Dykes system at TCU and was solid his first 2 years at Clemson. The Clemson running game (Which Klubnik wasnt a factor in after running for 463 yds in 2024) and Redzone offense in general really stunk this year. Klubnik wilted under the lights and threw 5 picks in the first 6 games. Then he got hurt. Hopefully the Dykes influence makes it into the passing game and that this signals the end of the Gleeson era at Missouri.

So who among Chip Lindsey, Riley and Bognar is a quarterback whisperer?

And what does the board think they provide Zoellers in case Simmons is just a guy with an arm?

Bognar worked under Malzahn at UCF so there’s the Drink connection.

Garrett Riley did work on the offensive staff for Kansas for a few years and they were atrocious.

What do you think about Chop's chops, Navy?

Love hearing he's a great recruiter.

It will be interesting to see what group he coaches. UT's defense overall produced a fair amount of sacks and TFLs but no individual was wildly productive. Their fanbase doesn't seem disappointed to see him go.

Re: Tenn fanbase not upset they are leaving.

You have to keep in mind the Tenn fanbase is as delusional as the Ark fanbase and upset at their coaching staff every year they do not finish as National Champions.
