Lincoln Riley's move to USC will always be viewed as him bailing out of facing the SEC, whether it was at LSU or OU.

For Texas, the second weekend in October should be a little more enjoyable moving forward.
Also, have to imagine keeping Lincoln Riley away from LSU is the biggest victory for Texas and the SEC.

If Lincoln Riley convinced kids to go move to Norman, Oklahoma imagine what he will do in Los Angeles

Can’t blame Lincoln Riley. He just got a truckload of money to coach in the Pac 12 instead of the SEC West. Trojans are back on the national stage in a big way.

Lincoln Riley leaving Oklahoma is a clear indication that he believes that Oklahoma cannot win at the highest levels of the SEC.
Put simply, I don't believe he makes this move if OU stays in the Big 12
Talk about an ALL-TIME miscalculation by a school and program

Los Angeles or Norman? Easy call.

It makes sense for Lincoln Riley. Go out to SoCal, recruit your butt off, live in LA, join a winnable conference and stay out of the SEC. Oh, and get paaaaid. Makes a lot of sense to me.

USC football hasn't crushed Oklahoma's spirits like this since January 2005.

Unreal, but can confirm Lincoln Riley is leaving OU for USC.. Expect Bob Stoops to be the interim Head Coach.
Wow. Just Wow….

I’m being told that #Sooners players are finding out about the USC news on social media. Lincoln Riley calling a team meeting today.
Also being told that recruits didn’t know about the move either.

Riley sure knows how to pick his spots. Run a down Big 12 for six years, get caught, go wreck the Pac-12. https://t.co/g8WmCBvpO9

Daaaaamn. Lincoln Riley really bolted from Oklahoma before that move to the SEC. https://t.co/X9yAfsnEEC pic.twitter.com/uOv66nGwwP

Lincoln Riley is scared of the SEC folks, that’s 100% what this move is https://t.co/ZwLtwhhx1C

I’ve heard multiple times that Lincoln Riley was not a fan of Oklahoma going to the SEC. That is the reason he is leaving Oklahoma for USC.
