If his agent, legal counsel or whatever was negotiating on his behalf, and it's basically guaranteed that this occurred, it's no different than if he was doing the dealing himself. For him to state that he started the negotiations and came to an agreement in less than a week is just him saying how dumb he thinks we are. Good riddance I say...
I see that a coach like Riley, with his prominence in college football would have done exactly that. His agent or whomever, spoke to Riley and they came up with his needs and wants to accept a head coaching job at a high profile football school. His agent told USC, probably several months ago, what he would be looking for in a deal and the negotiations began between USC and his agent. Once USC finally came close to getting his wishes filled he then probably involved himself directly to finalize things at the "11th hour" and committed to the Trojans. That's how chit is done when you have the big bucks. It's the "I'll have my people talk to your people" scenario.
Yes. A shell of who OU was the prior 10 years. Going 10-2 while losing to OSU and Baylor, barely beating Tulane, Kansas, Texas, West Virginia and Nebraska all while having "heisman winning QBs" Call it what you want but OU nearly lost to some terrible teams this season that they would have smoked in recent seasons past.
As well as CW played for the experience he has I would not want to be a redshirt sophmore at USC knowing Nelson is a freshman in the same program.
Exactly right. You're making my point for me. His hired professionals are working on his behalf at his direction, and therefore he initiated the discussion. The fact still remains that he didn't just get an offer and say "SURE!" in a couple of days as he said he did when he lied out his ass about it. So he chose to straight up lie and insult his Sooner fans and players or he is shooting straight with them (which he isn't) and made a fool's choice of a decision. Either way OU is better off without him. He'll fit right in with the culture academia promotes out there, at least until the rich donor alumni get him run him off.
Make up your mind, history matters or it doesn’t.
