Supposedly he has turned down HC offers from Alabama, USC, and Texas over the years. A lot of people like the hire claiming that winning any games in Corvallis is a feat with the lack of resources and recruiting they have.WebFire;1682184 wrote:Mike Farrell at Rivals says it's a home run hire and that people don't understand how hard it is to win at OSU. I just don't buy that. He was 5-7 last year, and 29-33 the last 5 years.
Kirk Herbstreit @KirkHerbstreit · 3h 3 hours ago If it's done...great hire by @Huskers getting Mike Riley from Oregon State!!
Tom Dienhart @BTNTomDienhart · 2h 2 hours ago I will say this: If you can win in Corvallis, Ore.--and Mike Riley did a lot of winning--you can probably win anywhere.
I'll reserve judgement until I see what he does with much better resources and recruiting. He's getting up there in age at 61. Makes you wonder if they plan on getting Frost as OC/head coach in waiting for a few years then he retires.

So... since the Michigan person who has not been mentioned anywhere, according to Cowherd... what are your speculations? Archie Manning? Don Shula?

Dennis Erickson went 31-17 at Oregon State the 4 years before Riley was hired, including an 11-1 season.
It really seems like almost a troll job to bring in a guy who's best season in 14 years was equivalent to Pelininis worst year at Nebraska.

Agree. It didn't work out so well after they fired Solich for only winning 9 games every year. Maybe this guy will be better.

He nailed Sark to USC about 14 days before it was made public. Some of these guys have actual sources, also I really doubt he's hurting for viewers/listeners.WebFire;1682247 wrote:He's just trying to get viewers.

I remembered this, which is why I pretty much trust him on this. He's not a guy that's always trying to break a story, so to think his sources throw him a bone every once in a while isn't far fetched.HighRoller74;1682277 wrote:He nailed Sark to USC about 14 days before it was made public.

Or Cowher if he can sell the house he bought in NEO in anticipation of taking the browns job the last 4 times it came open.

Brian Kelly

Article said it was someone currently coaching a trash but didn't say head coach.

Also interesting to note that Hoke was an assistant at Oregon State.

He has sources just like everyone else throwing out names. He may know something. But I doubt he knows who the next Michigan coach is right now, or that it's a name not already thrown out there.HighRoller74;1682277 wrote:He nailed Sark to USC about 14 days before it was made public.

Also, how do you think these big shows stay successful? By creating news that keeps people watching. They don't become big by being content with their number of viewers.

I don't know why, but Kelly's name came to mind when Hoke got fired...I doubt very much it happens, but it did pop into my head.HighRoller74;1682287 wrote:I'm pulling these names out of my ass, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was :

I hope they hire Kelly. He's never won ANYTHING; nothing and he won't win anything at Michigan either.
