teachercd Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Come on, a program that just canned a coach with a really good record, that is clearly showing its fans that they school demands more than just "good" is not going to go hire an older coach with a proven track record of .500 ball.

MyBloodIsRed16 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Riley wouldn't go anyway. I believe he wants to prove that he is a better coach than his record indicates. He wants to prove he can win as part of a real program. No offense to Oregon st but kinda. You can tell by the moves he is making. He wants to win here and then most likely retire. I'm all for that. 1 Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I woke up this morning wondering if Langsdorf would be in line for a HC job - this might be a good opp for him. Certainly with his loyalty and history w/Riley, he would have discussed it with him, and would give him some heads up to plan around his departure. Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I woke up this morning wondering if Langsdorf would be in line for a HC job - this might be a good opp for him. Certainly with his loyalty and history w/Riley, he would have discussed it with him, and would give him some heads up to plan around his departure. Which is why Langs isn't going anywhere. MR and DL have similar ideas on offensive identity. I think it's more likely he is being groomed to take over when MR retires. If the offense comes alive next year with a new field general people would be more receptive to the idea, IMO Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Riley wouldn't go anyway. Don't worry. Oregon would never offer. Quote Link to comment

If the offense comes alive next year with a new field general people would be more receptive to the idea, IMOI dont disagree that he is being groomed as a HC by Riley - and potentially as his replacement but I dont think that would stop anyone from taking a position from a uni like Oregon if it was offered. Why does his first HC gig have to be at NE in order for him to take over for Riley? Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 He is probably looking at 2018 schedule and knows how the fan base reacts to each and every loss and wondering how the hell he is going to go undefeated against that schedule...or how he will survive if he happens to lose games, which WILL happen that year (maybe quite a few) Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 laughable. Riley would never go coach at Oregon and Oregon would never want him. He doesn't fit their mold in any way. Quote Link to comment
fb30 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Langsdorf can't take over for Riley. He'd be a first time head coach. 2 Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Oregon wouldn't even interview Riley Quote Link to comment
Dbqgolfer Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Frost to Oregon would seem more realistic. Has there been any rumors of that happening? Quote Link to comment
Bball1091 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Oregon wouldn't even interview Riley Whose Oregon looking at? I know you're an Oregon fan as well, so just wondering what you've heard Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Oregon wouldn't even interview Riley Whose Oregon looking at? I know you're an Oregon fan as well, so just wondering what you've heard Fleck, WMU Taggart, USF Harsin, Boise Some other names that have floated around but no substance were Brian Kelly (Yuck), Jim McElwain (Meh), and Dan Mullen (I was intrigued....kind of, by this one) Those are the two most likely guys (Fleck or Taggart). Everytime I hear Fleck it's a combo thing with Schiano coming over from Ohio State. The media guy in Oregon, Canzano, keeps pumping out Anti-Fleck stuff that isn't relevant. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Frost to Oregon would seem more realistic. Has there been any rumors of that happening? Oregon beat writer for 247 says not happening - even though he thinks they should be interested. Quote Link to comment
