Mullens offense won't work in NFL. QB wouldn't last 5 games with as much as the position runs.

Remains to be seen if Riley can keep it going when it's his guys and not Stoops, he may want to bail out before then, get a nice pay day running the Jones disaster then be back in the college game in 3-5 years.

Word in the Dallas media (follow the Cowboys, it's my vice) is that Jerry loves him some Riley. If Garrett shcits the bed this year, he will go after him hard. He believe he has a super bowl talent on the Cowboys.

Maybe some college coaches just like coaching college. I'm sure Bobby Stoops was mentioned in some pro openings. He never left. SOS worked for a #1 a$$hole owner - he came back to college. Look at Satan - he hated his time with the Phins. Mullen's not leaving for the Cowboys - I bet Lincoln Riley doesn't leave the Sooners. Heck, even Chip Kelly came back to college. In college sports (hoops included), you can become a God and run your program (within NCAA rules, of course) as you wish - see Satan. In the pros, your owner can ditch you anytime he sees fit. Plus you're dealing with prima donna players making much more $$ than you do. If Garrett is fired, Jones will just get another NFL coach to take his place.

Yeah, well Jerry should step aside cause his eye for talent went out when he fired Jimmy. Dak is no SB QB and he doesn't have a receiver that could carry Irvins water bottle.

I think they could win one with Dak, if everything around him works great. Similar to Foles , Dilfer, etc... At this point in Dak's career he doesn't look like a guy who raises the play of the guys around him. He is a guy who is media friendly and will say the right things.

I like Dak. He's a quality guy and does and says the right things but he's clearly limited. The other thing that is killing the cowboys is the O-lines underperformance which began when they let Callahan go to DC. Dumb

I think we are saying the same thing, but I do like the fact that during the bye week they brought back Houck and promoted Columbo to OL coach. They got rid of the guy they got from the Bengals as OL coach, he was a bit of a disaster.

Yeah...well.......they don't mention that when they talk about LT or alot of great players and it's a blemish but he's certainly not alone by any stretch.

Why should it be considered so unique? He inherited a Bob Stoops built program where he was OC for two years before taking over. This is the softest possible takeoff a new coach can get -- a program built by a top tier coach with your players and your system already in place.
At this point, Riley looks a lot like Chip Kelly did at Oregon, or Mark Helfrich at Oregon, or Larry Coker at Miami. Not that unique, really.

On the internet, the next coach after a good one HAS to suck.
Also coordinators can never make a good HBC.
And Vandy always plas us tough, even if we blew them out every game except two.

And every mid-major coach that wins his conference is the next UF head coach/Saban slayer.

The think about having the guy who wants a QB/FB to run up the middle 25-35 times is that there zero chance any nfl team will ever consider him.
My concern level will always be zero percent.

A guy in only his second year as head coach, in a P5 conference, with a 19-3 record. Yeah, I'd call that unique.

In their first two years as head coaches, Chip Kelly was 22-4, David Shaw was 23-4, Mark Helfrich was 24-4, Larry Coker was 24-1 with a national title. Helfrich and Coker were fired for running the programs into the ground. And that's just off the top of my head. Riley is having good success, but it's not unparalleled, and he had the easiest possible transition to head coaching that anyone could want. And coaches with similar hot starts have crashed and burned. So I'm not that impressed with his early success yet.
