Two items surprised me:

His 3 wins over teams ranked #3 USC, #1 USE and #2 Cal. Can't remember the last time NU beat a top 10 team.

His contract thru 2021 ... that's 7 years ... any idea what it cost to buy out his contract?

Mike Riley would have earned a minimum of $9,050,016 over the next five years under his OSU deal that ran through Jan 2020. Buyout: $500k

Pelini fired for 4 losses for several seasons

This guy has lost AT LEAST 4 since ’03.

And I think his best season matched Pelini's best season . . . except Riley had to do it at Oregon State.

Before he and Erickson built that program up it rivaled Kansas State before Snyder. Horrific!

Can't wait to see what he can do with better players and resources.

And don't forget Snyder struggled before his little change of pace. 2004- (4-7) 2005 - (5-6). That's for those saying Riley is in a downward trajectory. Don't know if he is as good as Snyder as far as turning around a dead beat program but with support and lots of funds to spend on assistants, he can be better than Snyder...

And let them score 10 times as many TDs in the process. (No exaggeration.)

I remember that game, it was a fun game.

He's not - and there's no shame in that. Snyder is a goddamned wizard.
