Coach O and Raymond have recruited LSU so well. Y’all come out making excuses for Riley now despite the fact that this was never brought up before in other threads. Why can’t he keep players?

The guy has had 3 chances to win it all and hasn’t… who does that fall on?

Which one of those chances were they the better team?

We’re looking at it differently. You think making it to the playoffs 3 times and not winning is a failure. I see it as more of a great success to have made it 3 times. So I reject your notion that it “falls” on anybody.

Saban has warped how a lot of you see college football. You think it’s easy to win NCs. It ain’t.

My point is Riley should be dominating his conference yearly with his talent, but he doesn’t. His conference sucks and he doesn’t take advantage of if. He doesn’t get SEC level players and that’s not going to change with another blue bloods letters on your shirt. He is the stale choice imo.

He was playing SEC teams… like if he cannot win those games how do you expect him to make it to the playoffs if he cannot survive the SEC schedule?

Either HotTakes is ignorant as hell or is mistaken.

2019 was clearly shown to be an anomaly. Not much any team could do against that LSU team.

And then you make an argument that his talent isn’t very good by knocking his recruiting rankings and nfl draft numbers

He’s won the conference every single year he has been there.

If a 38 year old has been nationally prominent as a head coach long enough to be “stale” that is an incredible feat

Yeah he gets talent, but doesn’t develop it besides QB. How has the conference faired? Have they been dominant? Nope idts. Has he ever sealed the deal? Why go pay an absurd amount to a guy like this? You keep mentioning his age… I could give two shits about his age.

LMAO! His roster talent is ranked 6th right now and is always up there. You are spewing BS.

4 straight conference titles is pretty dominant.

No. Winning any NCs much less multiple national titles is exceedingly rare. Hall of fame coaches like Bobby bowden won one. That’s why him being 38 matters. He has another 25-30 years of coaching.

Making 3 cfps puts him in the elite category.

Yea I would say having the national media pump you up yearly because you are the premier program of the big 12 doesn’t make you great.
