Is Brent Venables a good coach?

The thing for Riley is 1) He’s basically never had to actually build a staff and 2) He’s never really had to build or rebuild anything. I’m not saying he’s not gonna do well at USC. But it’s not like OU when he took over and USC where they are now is the same thing. He got tossed the keys to a Porsche and he drove that car well.

Riley could underachieve, but the move atleast feels right with what he does. I actually think a guy like Jeff Brohm would have tore it up at USC.

USC’s offense looked impressive in the spring game- and that was without Jordan Addison.

Pro tip on how to be considered a good football coach: Sign the #1 Qb in the nation every year. Lincoln Riley is a beast because he can do that. USC will be in the playoff discussion real fast

Oklahoma has 1 defensive coordinator, 2 co-defensive coordinators, and no special teams coach. They went the analyst route for special teams like we did in 2020.

I pray they have the same special teams issues we have had.

The worst thing for Riley is that one screw up during the regular season might knock them out of the playoffs because the conference is pretty weak.

Most defensive coaches are pretty big on special teams.

Bo doesn’t get enough credit for just how good of a coaching job he did in 2009. Yeah, we had Suh and a lot of talent; but the decisions he made with the offense and special teams were masterful at times.

I think Brohm is a hell of a coach tbh

I think he might be on cocaine.

Great DC. How that translates to HC? Who knows

I always thought he was a coke head on the sidelines..

Bo did a pretty solid job at Nebraska with special teams during his tenure. After the one down year Bo actually had he took control of special teams and made them good again. Even the one bad year was much better than what Frost has produced for the most part to far. Hopefully the LSU coaches pay dividends this year on special teams.

Bo also had Papuchis, Ekeler, and Els all of whom would go on to be power 5 ST coordinators elsewhere

Ross Els has fucked us over a couple of times too IIRC

Ekeler had a pretty good unit at Tennesse last year IIRC

I have no clue of how JP has done since

JP is at FSU as DE/ST coach.

Yeah I was more saying I didn't know how successful he is

That’s true, but Bo was smart enough to hire guys who were good coaches in that regard even though most Husker fans would disagree. He just needed more recruiters.

He keeps landing solid power 5 jobs, so he must be a decent position coach.

Overrated coach. It’s well known that he’s a sign stealer. Ohio State decided to huddle vs them because of this and hung 49 in the CFP. Hopefully Frost is taking notes and not hunting or playing golden tee 😉

I'm failing to see whats wrong with figuring out what the other teams signs are.

Without sign stealing he got torched

Or maybe Ohio States offense was really good.

I’m sure Ryan Day is a good coach but I’m still waiting to see if the wheels fall off since he took over an elite program and was bound to win for at least a couple years. Nebraska did almost beat them last year…
