Ok, I see that you're obviously posting from the short bus, so I'll walk you through it.
You said:
"I’d say take the SEC route. Hire a solid HC that knows football and manage the whole team. Not just the offense. Just seems that Lincoln ignores the defensive side."
I replied: "Brilliant idea. We should hire someone like Mike Leach or Lane Kiffin." That was sarcasm - obviously above your head as is evidenced by your reply, which was:
"Leach was a coach at Tech. I’m just saying it seems like Riley is just the same. No understanding of how important defense is to a national championship type team. You need balance on both sides of the ball. Leach’s teams haven’t been great on D.
Yeah, I know Leach was at TT. I was pointing out how f.cking stupid your "Take the SEC route" comment was. Leach is, and always has been heavily tilted towards offense, but he got a gig in the SEC. Lame Kitten had one good year at FAU, but failed in head-coaching jobs in both the SEC and the PAC 12, yet he landed an SEC job. I could have added Will Muschamp and Dan Mullen, both of whom had no HC experience when hired into the top spots in the SEC. Same goes for Kirby Smart. Orgeron was a massive failure at Ole Miss, but got the LSU job by default and caught lightning in a bottle due to a plethora of talent and a new OC. He's not now, nor has he ever been, on anyone's top 20 list of coaching targets. Malzahn was an offensive coordinator, save one year as a head coach at Arkansas State. The only "proven" head coaches hired into the SEC are Saban and Fisher (marginally).
Your comment to "take the SEC route" is stupid on the grandest of scales.
The only "SEC route" OU needs is a tap into their pipeline of talent.
Oh, and I'll make sure to tell my grandson that some cheeto-fingered basement dweller doesn't like his Batman drawing. I'm sure it will devastate him.. .
