Riley will win like Bo but without the baggage, more of a soft liner down the line for a double than the home run Nubbs feel entitled to.

If he can coach up Bo's players maybe he wins 10 instead of the 9 games that was Bo's ceiling. Maybe win the west of that crappity conference and perhaps somehow steal a conference championship game. He'll be enshrined, just as he's ready to retire.

Or maybe he just wins 9 every year.

If Riley matches Bo (9 wins a year), he'll be at Nebraska for as long as he wants because he's perceived as a nice guy.

So, if I remember the story right, when Riley was first hired at Oregon State, he got in touch with Bill about how he turned K-State around. Bill supposedly shared a lot with him. Riley was never able to duplicate Bill's highs but he did make respectable a program that was nearly as historically bad as K-State. So there's that.

Who they going to get? They're Nebraska, for christ sakes.

Good points.

Not really. Riley left Oregon State worse than he found it. Dennis Erickson deserves the credit for making the program respectable.

I will never understand why coaches get so much credit for losing at BCS programs. A good coach would win at Oregon State.

Do you realize how hard it is to win at OSU?

Has anybody ever lost at OSU and won somewhere else?

This is Solich 2.0

Those saying he is nice guy, and as long as he wins 9 games, he will be there a long time........ look at Solich.

I realize Oregon is a tough in-state situation.   But Oregon State has hardly sat around; they expanded and renovated their stadium, they overhauled and expanded their football offices, they built a nice weight room, and built a new indoor facility.   Even while doing all that Riley actually got worse, not better in the W-L column.   His first 3 seasons (during the second tenure) they won 28 games, after that he only touched 9 wins once.

Yeah, "it's a tough place to win" just means they rough ridin' suck and have for awhile. Anyone could win there assuming they don't suck at coaching football.
