    Dickert made a good hire at OC. The guy lit it up in the FCS.

    1. Lanning, Oregon 2. Riley, USC 3. Deboner, UW 4. Dickert, Cuog
    Riley was the most volatile hire. He's yet to field a good defense in his career, yet he brought Grinch over with him. His teams also tend to drop one or two to far inferior talent every year. I could also see his personal life explode in LA. Gives me Freshwater/Sark vibes. He'll have pretty much unlimited talent to work with, but he's had nearly that at Oklahoma every year and never broke through.

    Oregon's is the lowest risk hire because things always work out for Oregon either way. Unlike USC, they have the money to handle their hire shitting the bed. And even if he does, some team down south will probably buy him away from them just to be nice. Lanning will have a almost as much to work with as Riley but without the pressure.

    I would bet DeBoner is the best coach of the three. The Pain Simulation suggests that'll matter fuckall, and this is going to get ugly.

    The Oklahoma defense was so bad that Grinch was welcomed as a savior.

    That's bad

    Riley’s a proven commodity at a high level. Is he necessarily going to produce playoff teams at USC every year? Probably not. But he’s head-coached at a P5 top-10 program and knows what it takes.

    DeBoner’s head coach record is solid; just need to see if that will translate at the next higher level. Decently high ceiling, and not a super low floor.

    Lanning is a big ?. He could be the next Smart, but he could be another Wilcox or worse, Lake. History would suggest the odds favor the latter outcome, or mediocrity.

    I’d put Dickert ahead of Lanning. He’s gotten his people to play solidly so far. Now we just have to see if that was an anomaly, and the cuog return to their cuoging ways.

    Also, no Janet Reno, or FYFMFE for options?

    My $ is on Riley bombing out. He isn't taking over Bob's well oiled machine. SC is a dumpster fire right now.

    We'll see how good of a coach Riley is
