Nebraska hires Mike Riley as next head coach.

[DaLincolnJones]

I guess Nebraska is a better job, but not much better.

Conferences aren't even close

green font?

I'm thrilled that this happened! The game has passed Riley by. We should look at hiring a young head coach like the ones at USU or EWU.

I'm sure if you offer them a lifetime supply of Reser potato salad, they will all come running.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Good move by both parties. Riley can see if his brand of coaching works in a program with a bigger budget/stronger reputation, OSU finally gets out from under the Mike Riley anchor.

They held onto him far too long. Hopefully OSU doesn't do what it did after Ralph Miller retired, and just get shitty coach after shitty coach after shitt....ah, who am I kidding, thats exactly what they'll do.

Tinkle is not a shitty coach.

Why?

• Nebraska a better job than OSU? Assumed.
• Pac12 a much stronger conference than the B1G? Also understood.
• Job security and standard of living in Corvallis better than in Lincoln? Obviously.
• Nebraska job better than OSU job, but not by much? Reasonable conclusion.

Tinkle is not a shitty coach.

Ralph Miller retired 25 years ago. They went through a lot of shitty coaches before they finally got a potentially good one.

Of the coaches since Ralph retired, guess how many had winning %'s above .500?

None. It was 25 years of shitty coaches and not caring about the basketball program. The first time in 25 years they might actually have a coach who isn't crap.

That was my point.

Sure, but you said they probably would hire shitty coach after shitty coach like they always do. Tinkle is an up and coming coach who just got a top 10 recruiting class. Osu was incredibly smart to snatch him up while his kid was a top recruit.

If they just made the best hire for basketball of the last 25 years, I'd assume they might just have there heads in the right place now. I'm betting they make a good hire for football and do a lit of due diligence.

Meh..lets pass on the better job..that is too abstract. The Pac 12 is stronger THIS year, with that said, the Beavers and their facilities have the worst program in the Pac 12, and to say the fans for the most part are fickle would be an understatement.

I have been around here from the days of free admission at half time and a high water mark of three thousand in the stands, while Nebraska has been sold out for years and is expanding to allow an attendance of 90,000. Dunno, but that sounds like a big time program to me.

I have to work in Corvallis and cant wait to escape these self important, myopic twats and their tainted liberal leanings that strangle anything resembling growth in the private sector. Better lifestyle? Only if you are connected to the school or government..otherwise you will be relegated to service jobs and living in south town at best.

Better program? Bud...this is the big times of collage football. And look at the bright side, the Beavers can watch Mike in the post season.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Beavers will hire Erickson back and Wookee will argue that he's the most ethical coach in college football.

How do you figure? Erickson's worse than Kelly...

Watch Mike in the post season? You gotta be kidding. Riley will be fired in 2 years.

you must have passed over the link the first time...http://www.usctrojans.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/120714aaa.html

" Bo Pelini was dismissed after the conclusion of the regular season and he was replaced by former Oregon State head coach (and one-time USC assistant) Mike Riley. Interim head coach Barney Cotton will coach Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl."

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm happy for Riley. I wish him nothing but success at Nebraska.

Riley is the coach that parents want their kids playing for. Not that he has real facilities he's going to do great.
