I still don't get the Riley haters. A good friend of mine was calling for Riley's head in his final season, he was tired of the mediocrity and Vegas/Hawaii Bowls. I kept telling him: "Be careful what you wish for, OSU could easily slip back into Fertig/Avezzano mode with 1-2 win seasons." Seems to me the disaster that followed Riley would remind people of the challenges in producing winning football in Corvallis. And no one has been able to win as much or as consistently as Riley.

I actually laughed out loud at this. How do you know this is not a representation of Beaver Nation? because you and your social group has a different opinion? What makes that a better representation of Beaver Nation? Is it from comments on other social media platforms? What makes any of them a better representation? Where did I say or imply the responses on other platforms are better representations? But based on a lot of negative response to this that I'm seeing elsewhere, I think the general "consensus" of Beaver Nation is somewhat more balanced between yay/nay than the near universal positive reaction this news is getting on Bennys House. LOL how people can have such different perceptions. The only negative responses I've seen/heard anywhere are right here and based on the poll results, are clearly coming from a vocal minority. I see a lot of high praise and excitement from Beaver Nation and former players alike over today's announcement. Everyone I've spoken with is also on board 100%. I even had a duck from across the office give me the all satisfying look of disgusted jealously of where we're at with our coaching staff compared to theirs...lol Go Beavs!!!

The only place I have seen react with uniform negativity is the AngryBeavs website... of course they react negatively to everything no matter what, so... Even the JBS was mostly positive except for an EPIC DIT rant... I didn't agree with his stance, but the call was pretty amazing and it got Mike Parker riled up!

Dave in Tumwater (aka our Beano Cook) is the reason that I can no longer listen to the JBS.
They need to limit him to 1 call per week at most.

I am a no. If he is working for free or close to that I can accept it. Whatever we are paying reduces what Nebraska pays. Wouldn't be very smart of us to squander our limited funds. So is it a smart hire or a dumb hire? I guess we will find out when they announce his contract.

The only real drawback to Riley is "perception" with the anti-Riley crowd and maybe the pot stirrers in the media gang. He's flat out among the most highly regarded coaches in football, not just for his personality but for his technical knowledge as well.
There are lots of head coaches who've been fired who immediately find success as assistants. I highly expect this to be the case here.

Just a simple yes or no question. No explanations, hedging, or qualifications... Do you like MR back on staff, yes or no. Trying to get a feel for if this is a 50-50 situation, or if a vocal minority is making one side sound louder than it is. No. And if you remember 3 years back a large portion of the fan base wanted him gone because he would not fire poor performing members of his staff and the program was in the gutter (i know it still was after the GA debacle, which doesn't make bringing Mike back a good decision) This board is not representative of beaver nations view on anything, primarily because a few lil boys like baseball 1111 attack anyone with an opposing view and are not enamored with his "connections ". If we don't all get on the Mike bandwagon we are evil, not supporting JS and not real fans even though some of us have been with this program for close to 40 years if not more. Seek some other sources if you want some confirmation but more importantly watch Season ticket sales even though baseball 1111 says we are all bandwagon fans because we don't like the hire. I would really have preferred that the money we are paying Riley be put towards hiting the best d coodinator we could. Whiny "DBS" alert...
