Breer said Cowboys have affinity for Lincoln Riley. This follows what Finebaum said months ago. If they go this direction which I would welcome, a good indicator of how his tenure might go would be how many, if any, assistants Jerry forces on him. Jerry is said to want to keep Moore. I want a coach with the juice to name his own staff not another puppet that wants the job.

Anyone care to explain how the whole, brand-spanking-new contract that he got would play out?

But wait, there's more!

Anyone else get bad vibes from such moves? I honestly feel that he would be no better than McDaniels..and what he did to the Colts..if he decides to up and leave a year into this commitment.

Just my $.02

I don't know. The more talk I hear, the less likely it will happen. Every time something is hyped up in the media, it never seems to happen. Like our OC situation. We heard so many names, and then Kellen Moore was upgraded to OC. Same for this, except it likely won't be someone from within.

Why would Riley take THIS job...even if he wants to move to the NFL? At OU he has complete control of the roster, for the most part gets to pick the players he wants, is always in contention for a championship and makes as much (or more) than JG. Why come to Dallas to have less power for the same money?

OU will be good for several years...he'll get another chance.

1) He would get more money.

2) Right now 2% of the Worlds population knows who he is. The day he takes the Cowboys job that number jumps to 25%.

So short sited...

Well, he is from OU. Yep, he’s the guy...

Why not pair Kellen with Petersen??

Look at what Petersen has done throuought his career. Talk about getting his teams to overachieve.

BSU used to always get 2 and 3* recruits, but Pete always got his team jacked up for big games, prepared great gameplans, and actually wins the bowls he plays in...

Didn’t Riley lose his last two bowls? Did he lose a NY6 to UCF?? That’s just sad...

I doubt anyone accomplished wants to come in to a coaching staff in its lame duck year.

Riley is exactly the type HC Booger wants because he's really nothing more than a glorified OC allowing Booger to fulfill more of that HC role that he wants to do. He's not bringing his OU staff so that fits as well, Booger can "help" him with the other coaches. He has very little personality so overshadowing the owner with his annoying personality wouldn't be a problem.

It's a perfect fir for the same ole same ole results.
