I don't know how Stoops can still deal with him on the coach's show, knowing all the stupid crap he puts in Stoops' mouth with these rumors. Sure miss Steve Neumann.

Dude, it's very clear deans not an insider at all if he's putting this bs about bs out there. Dean is acting like he's got a tmz crew digging through stoops toilets n trash for info. It's been kept under wraps sooo long now that people are gun jumpin...BOOOOMER!
If true, wonder what that says to OU's fine stable of running backs-Perine, Ross, Ford, and the recruiting of Texas (Katy) HS star Rodney Anderson? Might they opt for another venue that emphasizes the running game more?
Ehhh
It's entirely possible to rush for 2,000 yards as a team in the air raid offense with individuals running for over 1,000, and that's about what Riley was getting at ECU. That's similar to our numbers from 2009-2012, as well as several other years. I think we'd get good RB's, but perhaps not as many pro prospects, and we'd probably scare away any RB's that have bad hands.Originally Posted by Sooner70

It would be interesting if we brought him on as co-offensive coordinator along with a more experienced guy. I think a lot of the intrigue with Riley would come from him calling the plays, so it would be weird not to have him involved, and I don't think he would be interested, either. Perhaps he's a great QB developer?– I’ve been checking with some sources, and we have not been able to confirm Blevins’ report.
– I have confirmed that OU has interviewed Lincoln Riley.
– I have confirmed that OU is definitely interested in Riley. I was told that “they like him…other than that there is nothing that is 100%.”
– I have also been told that if an offer is made, it will be made as a co-offensive coordinator and that OU would want to pair Riley with someone more of a high profile name.
– A source also told me that he didn’t think the offer would be as a play caller, but that may have just been the source’s opinion and not necessarily a certainty.
The only non-pass oriented OC that has been mentioned is Frost, and even that offense is more pass oriented than some other forms of spread option (i.e. Auburn or Ohio State). Seems clear that we are moving in the direction of an up-tempo spread offense that emphasizes the passing game. If we do, I just hope that Bob is willing to commit to it completely. Otherwise we're going to end up running some bastardized version of a spread offense that wants to also be pro-style and incorporate a power run game, which is where we've been off and on since Mangino left.
I like Riley better than Cumbie or Spavital, if we're talking about an offensive playcaller. He has a lot of experience already running an offense. Not sure how he compares to some of the other candidates as a recruiter, or what would happen with the WRs. Riley coached WRs at Tech, so it's possible he could do that and then they bring in one of these other guys to coach the QBs.
Dont you think working for Mike Leach is a connection to bob......???
Hey... maybe T BOONE can pony up and start a Stilleater newspaper... but the players would probably just use it to roll the weed.
Yep, working for a guy that worked for Bob for 1 year 16 years ago is practically like being brothers.
“The last two years, we’ve recruited well and gotten the depth where we want it,” Riley said. “We just try hard to fit it to our personnel. As an offensive staff, we don’t have an ego on this deal. We don’t say we have to run it this many times or throw it this many times. We just want to score points and do what we can to help win.”...Lincoln Riley
"Image is what people think we are. Integrity is what we really are"
I'm absolutely astounded that Stoops wants to move to an Air Raid style offense. It's antiquated and every team in the Big XII has seen so much of it that there isn't a DC in the league that doesn't know how to deal with it. This isn't the mid 2000s anymore.
I don't believe he has. Riley tutored under Leach, but he's modified the offense and put in his own wrinkles & style. And yes that means a run game. You should not concern yourself with it...
"Image is what people think we are. Integrity is what we really are"
“From Day 1, the one thing I talked to Lincoln about was putting his own flavor on this offense,” said McNeill, noting that he uses his background as a defensive coach to help out Riley in meeting rooms. “Lincoln does a great job of being innovative, but at the same time, one of our overall rules is keeping it simple. But we still have the ability to spread the football, and the offense is still the same as far as distribution and all five guys touching the football.”
If there was a peak year of the McNeill and Riley era, it was last season. Everything came together for ECU’s offensive staff, which helped amass the most yards of its tenure (6,086) and best average per play (5.9) on the way to the second 10-win season in program history.
In perhaps the most effective display of offensive balance, ECU was the only FBS program to have a 4,000-yard passer (Shane Carden), a 1,000-yard receiver (Justin Hardy) and a 1,000-yard rusher (Vintavious Cooper
"Image is what people think we are. Integrity is what we really are"
ECU ranked 61 in the country in the rush.This offense is Texas Tech with only slightly more rushing. It will never win a NC.
Would that be a 64 to 36% chance...
Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.
I'd be happy if we could just win the conference again. sigh.

Oklahoma hires East Carolina's Lincoln Riley as offensive coordinator
Deals done. Let's try out this hot rod Lincoln. He doesn't have man boobs, I'm good with it.

"Why does there have to be so much immature stuff on here?" - circa 2010
Well Looks like we settled on just winning the conference. Very disappointed.I will just leave this here.

Is SI more reliable than Dean as a source? Or are they just parroting Dean?
Assuming this is true, looks like a good hire to me. Young, upcoming guy with early success who has to view OU as a fantastic opportunity. We'll find out real soon whether we have a real talent problem at QB or if it was just inadequate coaching.
