Jpan85 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Lost to Eastern Washington tonight not a good start for a coach under the gun.
Mr. Perfect Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Riley is under contract through 2019, and is coming off of a nine win season. Despite losing to a div 2 team today, he won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
Mr Dee Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Mike Reily? For a second there I thought we had our eye on a Quarterback, who could also Head Coach.
iso_55 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Yeah, Mike Reilly is the qb & Mike Riley is the head coach just to clarify. Eastern Washington isn't a D2 school but D1 FCS. So, while it is an upset, it's not one for the ages. Friday night, Kansas State the Big 10 Champion lost to North Dakota State another D1 FCS team so it happens. And he ain't coming back even if he's fired. We can't afford him.
Mr. Perfect Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 For anyone that's familiar with the history of Oregon State, the team was a complete joke before Riley turned them around. It's a tough loss for the program, but the guy is the main reason the team has been turned around. Sure they aren't a Pac 12 power house, but they aren't the laughing stock they once were. The day Riley doesn't coach there is the day Riley decides he no longer wants to coach.

Mr. Perfect Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Haha, if that's what we're doing, not to take away from Riley's outstanding career here, but I'm wanting Dave the Bear. Still think it's a damn shame how Lyle screwed him over.
iso_55 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Why not go after Tom Clements? He's a Bomber alumni.
Mr. Perfect Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 If you were in Green Bay, coaching one of the best teams in the league, and easily the best QB in the league, I'm not sure I'd be so eager to leave for the joke of the CFL.
iso_55 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 I shoulda put a winky smiley after what I said because I wasn't serious. I'll do it now.
