Don't see Air-Raid working in the NFL personally.

I’d say it already has

Brady and the pats ran it for a long time

The way teams throw the ball now?

There’s been been concepts of it in the nfl for a long time

It's an opinion and a kooky one. I did note the engaged aspect. was he not engaged when his teams were getting rolled in playoff games?

Our coach has actually won a playoff game and either makes it or is close every season. Has had 3 straight 1st round QBs at a school that hadn't had one since the 70s. where does he rank in best offensive minds on the planet?
He’s not in Riley’s league offensive wise, he’s just not. I give Day credit for knowing to let Grinch walk though, he is awful.

Grinch overachieved at other stops

So not buying that

He certainly didn’t over anything at OU, he was horrible. Riley literally doesn’t care about defense though, I mean none.

What talent did he really have to work with?

That’s another issue

I happen to like Riley but not in his league? Based on what (please offer more than eye test)? Offenses are often as good or better than his. He has gotten a few QBs picked in round 1 of the draft after none for so long. Has won a playoff game, while Riley has not and is rarely even close when his team makes the playoff. Maybe Riley just cannot always get engaged for those playoff games?

Talent is always an issue but some things are a mindset too. Answer this, do you see a program where the coach doesn’t allow hitting in practice will succeed in the SEC?

You are getting mixed up, Day has proven thus far to be by far the better head coach. Riley’s reputation is the qb guru, a lot of his stuff has been copied even in the nfl.

Leaning on the passing game and the Air Raid offense are not the same thing.

we can also focus solely on O if you want. Day's offenses have been elite and he has done pretty well with QBs, as well. Hate to say this about him under circumstances, but Haskins was not nearly as good as he had him playing. Despite often having weak defenses we have been able to win a playoff game under him (mostly because of the O) and go up and down the field against the team considered the top D last season.

Sorry but I just don't see how it's as clear as it seems to you that Riley is the best offensive mind on the planet.

Agree to disagree then, I think most would acknowledge by reputation it’s Riley on offense. Honestly I don’t care, I experienced all I need to of the guy.

any more definitive updates on Kelce playing or not?
I doubt we hear until close to game time, I think Vegas is acting like he isn’t playing though

Lincoln Riley is the best offensive mind in the game, that includes the pros. That’s why he will make the move someday. Doesn’t mean he will succeed, but brilliant when engaged on offense.

What the what!?!?!?

How can Riley be the best offensive mind in the NFL when he's never coached on that level?

When you have the nfl copying what he does that’s how.

Looks like Gibbs didn't make it to you...how close was it?
Went at 24 after I picked at 22. Knew Waddle wouldn’t be around at 27. Risked the biscuit and lost haha. We will see which guy has the better fantasy campaign. Gun to my head now…I’m thinking it’s Waddle but we will see.

This is from 5 years ago, almost every team requested time with Riley to discuss offense.


Five years ago, so not recent then? Any teams using his offense this season?

Still impressive his offense got the attention of teams in the NFL.

Wasn't aware of that. Wonder why he hasn't taken the jump to the next level?
