I can buy most of that except that any current players or recruits were in the know. The more people that know something like this, the more risk of leaks....no way you're trusting 18-21 year olds to keep that secret.

The rest of it makes complete sense and I am intrigued with how this will eventually play out. OU certainly has avoided wandering in the coach search wilderness for a couple of decades now...they are due.
I don't think his recruits were in the know.

Williams though? I guess I have a hard time believing he had no idea what was happening, considering the fact that he seems ready to transfer out IMO.

Okay, someone distill this down for me. Why the heck did Riley leave OU?

Money whipped?

Always dreamed of coaching in LA?

Issues inside the OU athletic program?

Pissed they are going to the SEC?

This really seems like a huge shock.
From the looks of it he didn't want to be in the SEC
Foreknowledge of a probable decline in ou's FB fortunes and less favorable recruiting in the SEC with no clear path to the CFP. He took the EASIER road and surely more $$$$$$$$$$$

The real reason Riley left OU for USC. He prepared Thanksgiving dinner for the team. Here is a pic moments before he was asked to leave for USC....
