Riley:

2015: 1-0

 

Wait...what am I missing here? Riley beat a Top 10 team in Michigan State...

It's a little confusing. Michigan Dad posted how many games were played each year against top 10 teams and how many were won.

 

LoMS posted the respective coaches actual records.

 

The only stat that means anything is zero.

 

Zero championships in US football.

So we should have hired someone who'd already won a national championship. Got it.

1972 - 1 - 0
1973 - 2 - 1

6-21 against Top 10 opponents at one point... probably would have been fired for not winning enough games that matter.

Pelini wasn't only fired for not winning enough games that matter, but keep telling yourself that.

That'd be great.

 

A conference championship or two would be ok. Heck, even a single lone division championship would be a better resume.
