The Life Of Mike And Dee Riley
Riley and Dee thought Oregon State would be their final stop, but then, a chance to lead the Huskers. “At this stage of my career and my age. If we want to do one more thing new and exciting, especially a special place like this, it's probably not going to come around again. So we decided to do it!"

 
“I enjoy very simple things outside of my job. Whether it’s just doing something with my family in some regard, whether it’s going downtown with my grandson and finding the best ice cream shop. Simple stuff.”

But it’s the simple stuff, and teaching strong family values, that coach Riley believes builds better football players. “I know these are parts of the program that I won’t compromise. This is the way we’re going to do it. We’re going to try to do it the right way and what’s best for young men. And we’re going to win games.”

I'm really pulling for Riley to do well at Nebraska. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. He'll represent DONU very well to the outside world.
