Lincoln Riley is 41 years old. For this guy to flame out so soon would really be something.

I'm not going to worry about him until the time comes. I like having Al Golden here to game plan against Lincoln Riley without the Heisman version of Caleb Williams.

After they started 6-0 last season, they are 6-10 in their last 16 games, half of which were with a Heisman winning QB.

Lincoln Riley’s Contract is all guaranteed, so if they fired him now, they would owe him around $85 million to go away. They are already struggling for money, no way they can buy him out. They are praying he leaves for the NFL on his own or molests a puppy or something so they can fire him with cause (like MSU did with their HC to get out of $90 million).

UK did peddle Calipari to Arkansas after a vote of no confidence

The USC game will feel like 2012 if we come in 10-1 and need that win. We took care of biz very efficiently that year but that was a good usc team and this usc team is the best 4-5 loss team you’re going to see.

What’s crazy is that their defense has made significant strides year-over-year, and the advanced metrics still think they are a fringe top 20 team.

Like allergic to winning. Feel a lot like 2016 ND.

That was not a good USC team. They were .500 & starter a backup QB the back half of the season.
This year’s USC team has had a lead in the 4th Q in all 9 games & has lost by an average of less than 4 points.

Their 2012 team was loaded with talent. Didn't they have lee, woods and agholar that year? I remember barkley got hurt and that certainly helped but they had NFL talent all over the field.

Pretty sure they were preseason number 1

They were all banged up & hurt by the time they played ND.
They were 7-6 on the year & lost a lot of starters throughout the season.
The team week 1 was ranked #1.
That wasn’t close to the team that took the field vs ND in game 12.

Crazier thing is they have lead in every fourth quarter they’ve played. They have lost by a combined 19 points.
Riley should take most of the blame for Saturdays loss. UDub gets credit for a goal line stand, but the play calling was questionable.

I agree, I hate these fools so much playing them always makes me nervous. They have a lot of athletes and could be dangerous if they put a soild game plan together.
They ran the ball really well in the second half Saturday. Weird since their passing game is supposed to be their forte.

Would be nice if this clown show of a program would start losing recruits
If your neighbor has a Maserati in the garage but can't drive and all the roads are closed, who gives a shit?

The Evidence is piling up on Lincoln Riley. Not sure he's beating the charges.
