Where will Riley go? He's an offense guy who cares less about the defense. He's had two great places to prove himself but is known for not having a defense. Who would want that if they really are sincere about pursuing championships?

Riley is an offensive genius but really needs a defensive genius to help him.

I think Riley will be an OC in the NFL if he left or was fired at USC

That is kind of what I am thinking. He's young, been an HC at two elite schools, he won't take a lesser job nor can he quit coaching.

An OC in the pros would fit his skills. If he can swallow his pride, an OC at an elite college would make use of his skills, too. I just don't see him as a college OC anymore.

I have to think a guy like Riley would want a break from the college game as well. He would probably be a great fit for the Houston Texans, Texas guy as well. Good defensive head coach as well who isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Tennessee Titans as well depending who they hire as their HC as well with a young QB. Riley has made a ton of money I would bet he's burned out with college game

Are there any favorites at this point for Florida, PSU, and LSU. The only slam dunk I think is maybe Sumrall to Auburn.

These schools will either vastly overpay to poach someone better than their last coach or end up with a worse hire than expected. Most likely is that they do both--vastly overpay for someone that is not even an improvement.
 
Schools are continuing to make the same mistakes over and over. Overpaying coaches and putting themselves in horrible buyout situations. I hope Wildhack stays away from the same mistake.

He is 61 now. How interested will he be to move to a pressure cooker situation?

If coach does not want to get a team into the playoffs, nobody at any P4 school should want him. And I would bet that UConn thinks Mora can make UConn the top winning program in the northeast not named PSU. Big 12 Commish Yormark clearly wants UConn, and UConn winning nicely at football could secure that invite.

Yormark does want UConn, but his presidents don't. He's the hired help.
