Yeah this is a pretty exciting possibility. I guess he recruited him pretty hard and all the PAC 12 guys say he is a stellar evaluator of talent, hard to see the downside of a Stanton/Riley combination Agreed. And apparently, they shared mutual admiration. BTN reported that Stanton once mentioned that Riley was one of his favorites during the recruiting process.

My initial reaction upon hearing the news was like many others here . . . "Who the hell is Mike Riley?". But after reading up on the man a little bit and giving it some thought, I'm thinking this will end up being a good hire. Sounds to me like he's been a guy that can do a lot with just a little, so now given Nebraska's resources and talent, I'm betting he can thrive here. Time will tell but I'm much more optimistic than I was a few hours ago. GBR
