I think Riley is a bad target for multiple reasons.

A lot of his stuff is so innovative because of how large the field of play is in college. Wont work in the NFL. I also dont think he is leaving for the Browns.

I prefer Flip personally

I'm not really worried about Lincoln Riley's schemes and play calls not working whatsoever. The line between college and NFL offenses is more blurred than ever before. Some of the best offenses in the league are basically the same as college offenses at this point.

I worry about the fact that he has no NFL contacts and might not be able to fill out a competent staff. I also worry about his ability to connect and coach professional athletes.

I worry less about that with Riley than I normally would because he already has the respect of Mayfield, and Mayfield will be our team's leader going forward.

I’m more worried about his lack of experience. Not just lack of any nfl experience but lack of head coaching experience in general. Only 2 years of being one he’s still relatively new to the job.

Things Riley has going for him:

1. Familiarity with our franchise QB
2. Ability to tailor his system to his QB's strengths
3. The more electric personality you look for in a franchise leader
4. OC / QB coach / HC experience is the right trifecta with Baker IMO

Biggest thing with Riley is DC relationships IMO. Maybe Dorsey can help there if he is our guy. Building a staff is hard and Riley doesn't have a ton of NFL contacts (in the coaching family), from what I understand.

I like JD too but Riley would be my first guy........it's a rare chance to hire the right profile college coach, where there's the added bonus that system familiarity could spring board our franchise player in year 2. Seems like a really nice match but we'll see. Would be leaning heavily on Dorsey though to find the right staff mix, which can be tricky......the GM doesn't want to smother the new coach but would need to provide the appropriate guidance / contacts.
 
This thread is about to go into overdrive.

People wanting a new college coach with ZERO NFL credentials should be careful what they wish for.

It doesn't make much sense at all for this organization to take that direction.

And I really like Riley and Campbell a ton.

I sorta agree, but if Buddy Boy truly feels Baker is the QB we’ve been looking for and feels the Riley can continue to make Baker grow, you have to do it.

I honestly don't think we can do better than a Flip/Schwartz HC/DC combo. Like, make that shit happen and let's fucking roll.

Schwartz's contract with Eagles expires at the end of the season. I'm almost positive he can leave and take another coordinator gig without needing to get Philly's permission or anything like that.

You're not selecting a coach solely based on one player.

Riley has zero connections to NFL circles, no reasonable expectation that he'd be able to bring in a staff around him who could operate with the efficiency needed to win in the NFL.

This team needs continuity and experience to develop a young product into a team who can build chemistry and timing.


Having Lincoln Riley try to adapt his own system to the NFL while trying to do 1000 other things as an NFL CEO/Head Coach is not something that is likely to work out here. Not in this organization as its currently constructed.

And the more I think about it the more him going to DAL makes sense. He won't have to worry about doing more than calling players there for a fat ass check. We all know who the real coach is there anyway.
