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.

3h 3 hours ago If it's done...great hire by
@Huskers getting Mike Riley from Oregon State!!

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.
