Barry Switzer is of the opinion that he knows the reason why Lincoln Riley unexpectedly left Oklahoma to take the job at USC in late 2021. When it was reported that Riley would be leaving Oklahoma to take the job at USC in 2021, the Sooners were in the middle of a 10-2 season. After Riley left that season, Oklahoma had Bob Stoops coach them for the bowl game, which they won. So for what reason did Riley leave for the Trojans? Switzer stated that he believes Riley left because the coach was not informed about the Sooners’ move to the SEC on the OutKick show “Don’t @ me with Dan Dakich.” I believe this is because Lincoln was not involved in selecting the SEC. They never even inquired about it. Furthermore, next thing he was like us, we just found out about it,” Switzer told Dakich. In late July 2021, one month before the start of the football season, Oklahoma and Texas accepted their formal invitations to join the SEC. Perhaps he was resentful about not being counseled about the move, however it’s very conceivable that Riley simply didn’t have any desire to mentor the Sooners in the super meeting. Already, the SEC had been acknowledged as the best conference for college football. They meeting will just get harder with Oklahoma and Texas joining. However Riley left to take what seemed, by all accounts, to be a simpler work, USC declared in 2022 that they would join a Major Ten that has likewise gotten more grounded with the increments of the Trojans, UCLA, Oregon and Washington. Riley’s first year at USC saw him finish 11-3. Be that as it may, his 8-5 season last year had fans baffled and requiring the mentor’s terminating.
