I wonder how close he is with Harrell. They obviously come from the same system. May be a chance Graham is retained as QB coach at least.

I wouldn’t look for GH to be in LA next year 😉

Nope.  LA is MUCH better since it isn't infested with OU fans.

I just don't buy that he's running because he's scared of the SEC.  He surely believes that he can coach with the best; and, if anything, the move will only help OU's recruiting.

When you have 12+ million to spend each year there is not a better place to live than the LA area.

Well, fair enough.

If he's that big of a wuss, I wouldn't want him coaching my team.

[ScreamingEaglesFan]

Didn’t see that coming, I figured he’d wind up at LSU.

I know. That's worse than pleading with your AD to take the flexbone off the schedule.

I don't get it at all.  He's in a situation where he's in the 4-team playoff more years than not.  Now he's going somewhere that hasn't really been nationally relevant in years, but they expect a coach to compete for national championships?  Surely the A.D. at OU didn't suggest that he might want to move on?

Didn't want to compete in the SEC. He knows what's in store. It's what's in store for everyone not named Alabama, getting to 10 wins is considered really good and haaaarrrrd to do. His norm at OU would no longer be his norm. 0 chance. So, he ran from it with his tail tucked.

Bob Stoops: Bob will coach the Sooners in their bowl game.

Does Justin Fuente return to Oklahoma?

Do you think he'd take a demotion to stay there?

Depends on his options

Looks like Dykes to OU has some noise.  Not sure how much grip it has.

USC or OU? USC fans have more teeth than OU fans. And most actually went to a college, if not the college of their t-shirts. 

I think there's no question it will be far harder for OU in the SEC than the Big XII, regardless of the division they wind up in. Yes, A&M has been roughly the same but "same" for Aggie means middle of the pack. OU has been at the top of the Big XII for quite a while.

If someone had told me four years ago that Billy Napier could use La-La as a springboard to the University of Florida head coaching job I would've made them take a drug test.

It goes to show that sustained winning at any level of the FBS makes things happen. North Texas isn't doomed by fate and C. C. Nolen to eternal football damnation.

That's what it looks like to me too. USC's proud, demanding fan base isn't going to like him much if he struggles.

Lincoln Riley got one sniff of the SEC and ran away screaming like George Costanza shoving old ladies and children to escape a fire.

You couldn't pay me to live in LA or California, for that matter, due to their political leadership

Bull shit. He got a great opportunity and took it, like Hayden did when he went to Iowa in the middle of the night.

Now that the dominoes are really falling in the coaching world, I wonder what caliber of coach LaTech can get at their relatively low salary and future conference affiliation with CUSA.

I’d have Carthel high up on my list if I were them.
