    Why would I watch every snap? I wanted see how he makes decisions. I did. Sark was better as an OC. The new coach is a nice guy that is going to get annihilated.

    Guy reminds me a lot of Tedford and wouldn’t be surprised if he has a similar career at UW as he did at Cal. Gradually become a 7-9 winner get a couple big years, upset USC maybe and play them close a couple times but never really fill out the trophy case. Only thing is can Deboer find and bring in some Marshawn and Desean’s and a Rodgers? Seems unlikely.

    The focus should be on trying to own the North. USC probably takes off and you’re glad you now only play them twice every four years and hope you can sneak up on them in a title game.

    Problem is Oregon is in the way. I don’t think at least getting competitive with them is impossible. They kind of remind me of UW in 2018 under Pete and lost to Stanford and Utah.

    Swaye, you think Tarbox and Dee wouldn’t do as well as this guy? Ha.. Dude put down the Rose Colored glasses. Riley is going to own this conference along with Super Mario for the next 8 years. Jen didn’t open up the check book. USC finally said fuck it. That’s a problem. Curious as to why you think Riley won’t dominate.

    Here's 9 reasons why I don't think Riley is all he's cracked up to be. His offense scores points, woopdeefuck. His defenses are also utter shite and they played on the brink all season long. If Oklahoma wasn't dominant in the Big 12, I don't see why he's all of sudden going to be dominant in the PAC. He kept Alex Grinch as DC which brings into question his decision-making skills already. This is a sizzle hire because of his offenses. Do people forget that you also need a defense? USC just gave up 60+ points to UCLA. Good luck fixing that with Alex Grinch.

    And USC's defense needs MAJOR work.

    Indeed. That defense is a dumpster fire and there's nothing that indicates Riley and Grinch can fix it. Look at Oklahoma's D every year under Riley/Grinch. It's moldy rotten shit. I don't get it.
    Maybe he’s banking on the Pac-12 QB situation remaining the same as all the top rated ones leave the region other than who he brings to USC?
