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.

I watch pretty much every A&M game, which means I watch all of the SEC West.

The rest of your post, then becomes irrelevant. :)

Anyway, I guess we'll see what happens.  I'd be every bit as concerned about Riley at LSU, as I am about Riley at OU.  Neither is particularly good for Texas, after the move to the SEC.

SEC offenses aren't  as prolific as B12 offenses.  His defenses would look significantly better in the SEC.
Riley has coached 4 games vs SEC teams, allowing an average of 45 points per game.
OU was the higher-ranked team in 2 of those games.

Anything but admitting you're wrong.

I agree he's a good coach, but he seems to have a definite ceiling...OU doesn't fare too well outside of the big 12 and that would concern me.  My preference is to take chances on someone that may have a higher ceiling with the risk of a lower floor (Napier, say).
The take of Riley having a low ceiling is ... interesting. 

But the nature of the sport is fascination with what we don't see, and that powers a lot of interest.

Interesting, he's not headed to LSU then?

Dumb move. 

The Ragin' Cajuns are WAY better than the Gators.
