re: If Riley does go to LSU, does OU look to Heupel?

He ain’t coming to LSU
Moot point

Hard pass.

Heupel was the coordinator when OU got destroyed by Clemson and was the reason he was fired by Stoops.

I love seeing a former Sooner having success in the SEC and have been rooting for Tennessee strictly for that reason, but hard pass on Heupel as head coach.

Not that LSU wants Riley - but what universe are you OU fans living in? 3 natties with the last three LSU coaches - one of which was against OU and one LSU beotch slapped OU in the semis - the OU program in the SEC will be mid pack at best and will NEVER compete for even a conference championship - Riley comes to LSU and he at least has a shot at conference and natty championships - plain and simple - LSU coaching job is hands down a top 5 coaching job - OU ain’t even in the top 10

Les Miles didn't last long and so did Orgeron. If LSU get Riley he will not last long too! Why go there and get humilated and not get a good HC gig again?

Your logic sucks - so because LSU expects natty championships Riley should stay where there are no expectations? That’s exactly why OU will never compete for a national championship

Saban!

OU historically and today is a better job.

I’m having a flashback of Jason White getting humiliated by an aggressive LSU d-line. What y’all don’t get, but will soon enough, is that the recruiting services can’t capture something that separates the SEC from the rest of CFB. I think it’s a certain strength of mind and tolerance for risk and pain, a warrior mentality, that’s still prevalent in the Deep South. There are many, many 3 star linemen in this conference that will steal OU’s lunch money, let alone the 4 and 5 stars at places like LSU. When it happens, and it will, this board will be a chorus of I-told-you-sos.

This 100%. At LSU, Riley would automatically have elite defensive/line talent built-in to recruiting classes with the Louisiana boys, while getting to cherry pick offensive skill players like he does now. Add that to all of the Texas connections he has built...He will be sitting smack dab in the middle of the recruiting Holy Grail. He is already going to the SEC, going to LSU just tilts the odds in his favor.
