Meh, by your own admission you don't watch sec unless it's a national deal. I'm comfortable in not buying your assertion, and I'll see your a&m with ole miss, possibly the best o and qb in the country, bama whose been an outstanding offense most of the last decade, clanga with leach and Florida with mullen. I'm fine putting up our best of the last several years with the big 12s best of the last several years. Which includes lsu curbstomping the big 12s best in the playoffs because Riley's offense, as I said would concern me, doesn't do much against the non b12 teams, that I can recall. I don't think they've won a playoff game despite getting several chances.
Not that I'm saying he's a bad coach. He'd be a surefire upgrade from where we are with likely a pretty high floor. I don't know if he can win an nc and that's the standard, right or wrong. As far as being easily the best since Saban, maybe, but that's a bold claim considering its Miles who is the school's most successful coach in history. Better winning %, and he did it for far longer, and he did it with Alabama on the greatest run in history in his division. It's hardly a given to surpass an 80% win rate for 11+ years. Not that any of that has anything to do with how Riley would do here, which is probably pretty good. If we won't try napier and can't get Fickell (probably not a good fit anyway) then Riley is an excellent alternative.
....if he's interested.
