Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

[Bucky32]

Riley's name had come up for UW after Bielema left. IIRC people dismissed him as too old and entrenched at Oregon State.

 

[Dryden]

How do I sign up with you guys?

O-H !!!!

 

[NFBuck]

Oregon State has gone 12-13 (6-12) in the last two years. Not exactly the upgrade in coaching this conference needs.

O-H !!!!

I-O!!!

Wiki-luminati already on it:

On December 4, 2014, Riley was named head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. As a former Idahoan, he has always hated corn and loved potatoes.

Woah.... didn't see that coming... boy that's an underwhelming hire except he occasionally lures some teams into a trap there in Corvalis

I like the hire.

 

[Dryden]

I-O!!!

You passed. Congratulations.

Welcome to Buckeye Nation!!

Shouldn't have expected great things from the guy who helped hire Al Golden...smdh.

Somewhere, Bo is sipping on a slurpee and laughing his ass off.

Initial shock aside, and trying to look at this objectively...I still have nothing. I don't think it'll be a disastrous hire. I mean, most everybody says he's a pretty good coach that gets the most out of limited talent, but is he an upgrade? I see him as the kind of coach that will probably consistently win 8-10 games if he can upgrade the talent he has to work with. But conference titles? National title? Not bloody likely. Looks like it'll be the same 9-4 corn. But it'll be a nicer 9-4, I guess.

Riley has never won a conference championship. He's never finished better than 3rd place. He runs a Pro-Style, so it's going to be a couple of years before he gets his players in. He's 61.

Wikipedia already has his record at 0-12.

How'd that work out in Lincoln last time?...

They ate Bo's $7M+ buyout for this?
