So let's say Riley stays ...

Bob and Tom were winning championships

You can have any personality you want if you're winning big games. Bo was not, so his act got old.

Scary part...if he averaged even 1 win more...if he had just 7 more wins in his time here (I think he was here for 7 years)...he is not only still here but he is probably considered one of the best coaches in the country and/or maybe gone and at LSU or off to the UF job or something like that.

To me that is a toxin...Riley doing nothing is a toxin to me.

I also never cared about Bo's attitude.  Just like I never cared that Bob Deveney drank like a fish or that TO thinks booze is the devil.

Fans play a part in there being a toxic environment.  They, me included, were tired of hitting the ceiling at 9-4.  We had grown weary of Bo's attitude and performance on the field in big games.

Riley was not a toxin.  He just didn't do what was needed to end it.  He should have cut bait on anyone that wasn't buying what he was selling.

Effort and accountability both in football and in the classroom have dropped on Riley's watch. His "oh well" attitude is toxic, it's obviously infected this team, it's worse than Bo's temper and "us against the world" bit.

What a long strange trip it’s been.

If Riley stays, how disappointed will we be?

Other than Nate Gerry where is your classroom accountability coming from?

It sounds like a lot of this falls on Shawn Eichorst and administration handling discipline.

And yet, to my knowledge, other than "Bane" and his attendance issues that the entire world knows, Danimal hasn't actually been able to verbalize the incidents that have supposedly happened on Rileys' watch.

These guys are young adults and should act like they are adults w/o being nagged or watched every minute. 

Been awhile since you've been in college, huh?

Riley has managed to lose 10 games within 1 possession in less than 3 years here. He can't hack it or turn it around. That's just him.

Some coaches find ways to win close games, some coaches find ways to lose close games.  Riley is in the latter group.
