It's Official - Lincoln Riley Hired As Ecu's Oc

[gangrene]

Lincoln Riley can't wait to join Ruffin McNeill

[bstnsportsfan3]

Dam...and i bet we never even gave him a call

[Got5onIt]

Lincoln or not, does anyone really expect Dodge to relinquish control of his offense??? I'm sure he's smart enough to know this will probably be his last year and will go out doing it his way. If/when they hire an OC, he will be nothing more than a place holder. I don't understand all the hoopla over NT's vacant position............

Good for Lincoln Riley...good for Ruffin McNeill. Both seem like solid coaches and great people. Congratulations to both.

Did you hear the 'woosh'? That's the sound of ECU re-passing us by.

Unfortunately, they already did that a long time ago.

optimism abounds with change. a fresh start can be a good thing for both coaches and programs alike.

So he is able to get hired as the OC for East Carolina but he won't even get a serious call from UNT about our OC position? Isn't it great to be a Mean Green fan?

Wowwwwww.

Don't get the hubbub over the OC position here. Really don't. Hard to imagine a more irrelevant coaching position in the country based on our current structure. Might as well save the money for next year's potential HC hire.

How much do you think the fact that Dodge is on the hot seat affects candidates decision to interview here? Knowing that next year Dodge could (and very likely) be gone. I would try all other options first personally and then interview at UNT as a last resort in that case.

Completely agree. Surely no one really believed that we were interested in him.
