USC

What would be the scenario to see Dry Rub Brisket either fired or off to the NFL? And assuming said “coach” is gone, does that potentially open Mark Bowman back up with a shot for the good guys @Gerry Hamilton, or was the money so high it wouldn’t mattered if they hired Billy Napier as the next coach, he’d still be going USC. Enrich my life so I know what to root for!!

PS. - teams dropping like flies today. Opens everything back up for Texas much easier but we need to see the SHSU offense week in and week out. I think we are damn near unbeatable if the O looks like that and the D continues with their upward trajectory. Also, it hasn’t been pretty, but at least our new “Ship”-ley hasn’t Bert Auburned us out of an SEC championship and national championship berth so fingers crossed, Hail Mary ✝️, whatever it takes!

I was wondering the same thing earlier today. What would it take to land mark “money bags” bowman from USC? I would guess a firing and a new head coach that won’t offer the same type of NIL deal to him as riley did

Someone on the Longhorn Nation reddit said it would be hilarious to see him at Texas helping with the O lol.

Riley sucks and probably screwed up today by throwing to the endzone to take the lead with 1:55 still left. 

That said, USC looks much improved on offense (their offense was actually the problem last year) and while the defensive backs are bad outside of Kamari Ramsey who didn’t play today, their defense forces turnovers and their pass rush is legit. The defense took a step back overall from last year but it won’t be felt because they can get to the quarterback and make splash turnover plays. 

USC will likely be a 9ish win team. Sure, they could choke and go like 8-5 but I think they’ll be 9-4 or 10-3. Maiava, Lemon, Lane and Jordan are legit and the OL is really good. 

My point is that Riley isn’t getting fired unless they lose 5+ games with a couple of embarrassing performances.
