Wasn't Riley 5-7 this year at Oregon State?

Now he's just sending me emails ranting without me even responding.... Hahaha

"Okay… taking some time to digest this. Here is my thought:

I’m thinking maybe he is a "value" hire so they can spend a lot to get some high caliber assistants. By all accounts he runs a clean program, is a nice guy, and has the experience managing people…

God I hope this is the plan… Otherwise I’m in for a bumpy ride."

I get Bo Pelini wasn't the nicest fellow, but he won at least 9 games every season. Why dump a HC unless you see a coach that will almost guarantee you make that final jump to a championship team. Most coaching changes are a wash in the ends a downstep in the first season or two, and Nebraska had well above average wins every year (which generates a good amount of revenue). Nebraska seems like a school that thinks it is more than it is. Oregon State has not done squat.

Scary hire for Nebraska considering Riley's age and mediocre record. Nebraska fans will want championships from day one and will have no patience for anything less.

Looks like Nebraska has found their Brady Hoke.

Enjoy 6-6 and a lovely trip to the "Quick Lane Bowl" in Detroit.

It's time to get Nebraska on the schedule.

They've been in the final top 25 only 4 times in 14 seasons under Riley. I wouldn't call that consistent.

Also I see that they lost twice to FCS teams in his tenure.

Ha! Just read a tweet that Bo never lost 4 games in a year at Nebraska and Riley lost at least 4 games every year at Oregon St.

This whole deal stinks of something other than just wins and loses, or even demeanor. Pellini has to have really pissed someone off very much.

ME! I hated seeing him with his mouthful of gum on the sidelines!

Nebraska under Pellini finished 1st in the division 4 times (including ties). OSU has not finished better than 3rd since they went to divisions in the PAC12. This is just so strange.
