I say idk about Riley being assistant head coach because I fear Riley will give Jonathan Smith some really bad advice on game winning crunch time decisions. I'll give an example,:The Beavers are down by six and there on the USC(I put a random team there for a example) 44 yard line driving to score with under 1 min left. The Beavers don't convert on 3rd down but come up short they get 4th and 1 and Jon asks Riley what to do, Riley tells Jon to punt, giving the ball back to the other team and thus losing the game cuz of "Riley's Advice to Jonathan Smith" Now I know that example is far fetched on Riley mentoring Jonathan Smith on the sidelines, but that is what I fear when Riley might do somw mentoring on JS on crucial moments during big games. What I'm really realiying on JS is that he has more common sense to make a better judgement call during crucial game time crunch moments than Riley. I know Riley can coach QB's and Wr's pretty well and that's good, cuz Riley is more of a TEACHER, than a coach. If there is any person I'd want teach me about being a QB or WR as a player, or any position in football, I'd pick Riley in a heart beat. I can only hope my fear about Riley is wrong, I know he is just there to be a mentor to JS but I really hope JS knows how to win a game in crucial crunch moments and not ask Riley for advice on how to win a game at the end. I can appreciate your concerns, but I think Riley knows where his place will be, and that isn't in JSmith's ear on critical plays. He'll have a job to do and he'll need to concentrate on that. He's not a coordinator. He does have the title of 'assistant' and will be carrying out duties accordingly. Personally, I'd like to give this situation a chance to work out before we cry fowl.

Unfortunately, there are those who'll cry "foul" and worse any time there is a hint of a bad play or decision. And, will deny any positive influence or credit when things go well. After 4 years, if JS is averaging 6-7 Ws it'll be MR holding him back from more. It's just who they are as people.

If you see 4 straight fade routes into the end zone, beginning on first and goal ... you'll know. It6 worked for Stanford against us this year... of course the refs called bogus penalties on a couple of them as well...

There is not a coach in the world who would advise a punt when down 6, with under a minute remaining, from anywhere on the field, let alone from the opponents 44 yard line. uhhhh.... maybe you have Blanked out the entire QA era
