C'mon folks, the Program is now a full-blown dumpster-fire of a train-wreck. From inept regents, administration, and AD to entitlement-minded fans and back-stabbing sports writers NOBODY worth his salt will touch this cancerous toad of a Program - doesn't matter what the salary is. Heck, this Program was on life-support after Solich, Callahan, and then when Bo was wrongly fired and Riley took over...there was no margin for error with the Riley hire. It's over, folks.

Bo won 67 games in 7 seasons... that seems pretty good to me for a guy in his first head coaching job who didn't even recruit that well. How many seasons will Riley have to coach to obtain 67 wins?

Miles lost his winning touch. He would be a step down from Riley

I concur.

Yes, his personality seemed to be on tilt/meltdown the last 2 years but most of this could have been lessened with AD support. He had holes (recruiting), but also had so many intangibles that you look for in a big-time coach that he maybe would have grown into something special here...he was young & inexperienced when he was hired. He respected tradition & TO. I think he spiraled due to pressure primarily caused by OWH sports writers who seemed to love stirring up controversy & pushing Bo's buttons. Ah well...all ancient history now.

Yes, Riley will be back next season, without question (and rightly so).

Yeah...that's pretty good.

Next year will be better -- I predict 8-10 wins next season. This is more of a rebuilding year (new QB & new defensive scheme).

I was wholeheartedly against firing Pelini at the time he was fired. Yes, the guy was less than perfect, but had a ton of potential.

The Big 12 would be a HUGE step-down from the Big 10 in both prestige and profits. Surely you aren't the type of person who advocates cowering and/or running from a challenge?

Yep...Frank was a solid coach, and a true steward of the Devaney/Osborne legacy.

He still has mine.

Next year will be better. This is more of a rebuilding year (new QB & new defensive scheme)...I predict 8-9 or maybe even 10 wins next season.

I get it - this is disappointing, but the regents & admin have gone all-in on Riley & Co. He will be Head Coach for at least 2-3 more years before handing the reigns to Langs.
