Jerry will bully that guy like no other. 36 year old college coach with 3 years experience. Classic Jerry move. Rumors are that Meyer wants too much control. I mean why do that with one of the best college coaches ever and a guy that wins big every stop? Better to hire another yes man that has little experience and no desire to help on the defensive side of the ball.

Nothing will change.
With the amount of money it will cost to get Riley, I don't he will be viewed as a puppet at all

Jason Garrett has had a pretty healthy salary too. That did not change the puppet aspect, did it?
Garrett's salary would be significantly less than what it would take to lure Riley. Garrett makes 6 million per. Riley makes that at OU. We would probably give Riley close to 10 to get him to make the jump, and thats on top of a sizeable buyout

So what is what you are saying have to do with him being a puppet?

I don't care what the new head coach earns. In fact, I would be all for him getting as much of Jones' money as he can.

If a head coach coming in here is in it for the money and does not mind being a stooge, we are no better than we ever have been.

That's exactly what I mean. We will know whats going to be what with this hire, possibly even beforehand if a coordinator is hired first.

I'm done if he pulls this, and I don't want to be, but I cant keep this up. It's not healthy, and I'm not trying to be funny.
Ditto!

Dude just threw his players under the bus at halftime for not executing his master plan for LSU. The Tigers lead 49-14.

You Big 12ers can keep Riley. :muttley:

Lol. Where are the Riley fan boys tonight? His team is getting embarrassed like no other top 5 team before. A month to prep and this? What a fraud.
