    Said it in another thread, but USC is vulnerable for one year because of the talent void from their bad 2019/2020 classes. Riley will recruit and have them elite soon enough… but the Pac12 can prevent a landslide if we collectively keep them at 8-4 or 9-3 next season

    Riley wants to coach at the highest level. If he’s as good as he should be at USC, he’ll be gone in less than five years and be in the NFL.

    There are no Sabans who stay at one place for 10-20 years anymore. If Saban wasn’t 106 years old, he’d move on, too.

    Not sure what this has to do with UW, but we will all still be bitching and moaning about our? coach this year, next year and fucking forever. It’s what we do.

    Does this extend to the fan bases as well? Because some people seriously need it especially up in here...

    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?
    I'm sure he will get top QB talent just like he has at Oklahoma. That hasn't kept him from having unspeakable losses every year and numerous one-score victories in a shitty conference. He's barely beaten juggernauts like Army, Tulane, and Kansas and he's been repeatedly beaten by Kansas State, Iowa State, and Baylor despite talent advantages ... He's a very good coach but I wouldn't call him great yet until he fields a top 50 defense.

    Problem I have with the hire is USC and LSU swung for the fences and nailed it. Did UW even try? Did UW try to lure a lateral hire from a power 5? Going after a coach that would make WSU and Arizona excited just doesn’t make a lot of sense unless you tried and struck out everywhere else. I am hopeful this guy and his staff kill it, but very pessimistic at the lazy ass approach and failure to even try.

    Ironic.

    Congratulations to Jen Cohen for hiring the best high school football coach west of Minneapolis. Reportedly Jen Pushed Hard For Chuck Tarbox of Juanita, Dee Hawkes from Bothell, Monte Kohler, O’Dea, Bill Beattie, Tumwater all quoted family concerns and a lack of commitment from upper campus in declining Jen’s overtures.

    Lame take. “Warren Winlock Miller Race Race Bannon Duckfighter Illustrated Bill Moos Olympia High School” trash Bill Beattie doesn’t deserve mention. Everyone knows Tumwater = Sid Otton. His grandsons, Cade and Ryan, should beat you. Repeatedly.
