New HC Hiring AAR

[walksalone]

Congrats to Coach Riley, I wish him the best of luck...

 

Now, I don't see how this is a move that is going to put this program over the top. No conference titles, a .537 winning percentage and 6-2 in mediocre bowls? I would like to know what SE saw in Coach Riley that convinced him that he's the coach that can get this team to the "promised land". I'm sure Coach Riley is a good guy, but unless he goes out and gets an amazing DC and OC, was this whole more really an improvement?

 

What happens in 3 or 4 years if Riley doesn't do any better than Bo? Are we going to get rid of him too? What happens if this team gets 7 or 8 wins in the next two years? Will the bunkers will be dug and the tinfoil hats will be donned for the impending death knell of our beloved program?

 

If this was SE's choice from the beginning, I have to wonder to myself, "really"??

at the least he heals the player/fan rift.......one step at a time, weedhopper! cleaning up after Bo will be no small task.

All we can do as fans is give the guy a chance. Let's see what kind of staff he hires, how he recruits, and how he handles the pressure of coaching at a big time program before we evaluate how successful he can be. Just my opinion

I can't wait until people realize this 9 win deal was a smokescreen.

I agree, Walks. Thanks for being more eloquent than I.

Save the what ifs for after next season. This guy is open minded and respectful towards the traditions and players. That's a huge step from Bo already and he hasn't even coached a game yet.

So,what happens if he pulls off a 5~7 season?

Especially when he does it next year with ease.

The best way to describe this hiring was "meh", as the kids like to say...

 

I wasn't excited, I wasn't upset, just indifferent...

Boy, your wife must love your optimism. I'm like the crabbiest person I know, and you make me look like I fart rainbows.

Don't go there. Bo didn't make a mess of this program. If you didn't like Bo's personality that's your prerogative, but Bo ran a clean program. The only problem was the disconnect fans felt they had with the team and that isn't a steep hill to overcome. This isn't the Callahan mess. Not even close. Riley's walking into a good thing, an early Christmas present if you will.

Not in the B1G West. Even a mediocre coach can beat Minnesota at home, on Senior Day...right...

Then the "Bolievers" are going to go absolutely apesh*t, and the "I told you so" threads will crash the board again...

What makes you so sure?
