Why should we have any faith in Riley at all? Has there ever been a solid HC that inherited a 9 win team, had a losing season their first year, and then won a conference championship later on with that same team? Can anyone find one example remotely close to this?

  Bobby Petrino went 5-7 the year after Nutt won 8 games. He didn't win a conference title but they finished in the top 5 in year 4 at 11-2.
  
  Best I can think of. Then he had a motorcycle "accident".

  Petrino also took over a run heavy team and wanted to make it a pass heavy team, much like Riley, so he struggled in year 1. He went 5-7, 8-5, 10-3, 11-2.
  
  So if you are looking for hope then maybe there's something there. I'm not predicting that happens here with Riley, just an example. Petrino is a really good coach.

  I don't feel as good about things as I once did. I'll give ya that. I think it's just an overall lack of learning and lack of progress that is unsettling.
