Riley retaining the ENTIRE current staff is the only way this could be a bigger kick the nutz, imo...Slim Shady mentioned somethng about seeing the staff of the next coach would get us excited.

um, no , no and no.You all will be checking the recruiting sites all winter long. You all will be on the edge of your seats come spring game time and the anticipation level next August will be be the same if not higher. It's just the way it is. That's why we're fans.
If not, well ... adios.
Nah. Still a fan yes, but Bo's blowouts had begun to sap my passion already and then to have such high hopes set on fire its going to be easy to be a more casual fan at this point. Sure Ill check on things occasionally when I have time, but hope and passion are at an all time low for meYou all will be checking the recruiting sites all winter long. You all will be on the edge of your seats come spring game time and the anticipation level next August will be be the same if not higher. It's just the way it is. That's why we're fans.

Stop. Just stop. You're just pouring salt into open wounds.Still leaves the door open for Scott Frost as OC as well.
I don't have to do anything of that to prove I'm a fan...hell I spent high school in kansas being the only husker fan in a school full of kstate a-holes. If the new coach doesn't leave me feeling confident about next season...why would I waste my time investing myself into all that? Worst thing that happens to me is it turns me from die hard to casual fan. But stop with the "fan rulebook" already. Underwhelming hire...You all will be checking the recruiting sites all winter long.

I posted this earlier. Unfortunately, no one wants to give Coach Riley enough of a chance to read why he could be big here.Someone please convince me why this isn't a bad hire.
Edit: RIP my inbox. I feel a little better about it now.

2 hours ago I'll try. Riley has done yeoman's work in bringing any talent to Corvallis, so he knows how to recruit despite geographic disadvantages. He gets good results despite a talent and resource disadvantage (albeit with a drop-off over the past couple of years). He's widely known to be one of the nicest, most genuine guys in all of college football, which would definitely be a atmosphere change after Bo.
From Reddit. UCLA Fan saying this. I found this very encouraging
Admittedly, I was pretty upset about the hiring at first. After reading more about him, I think we hit a home run with this. Also reported Riley is bringing his DC and not his OC...possibly leaving room for Frost?I posted this earlier.

Definitely not happy about the hire, but I can tell you this is false.Here is what I have figured out.
Mike Reilly was probably going into his last season at OSU, then fired.
Mike Reilly isn't known as a good recruiter, doesn't like to get out there.
Mike Reilly is 61 years old, so not really a young whipper-snapper.
Mike Reilly is a QB guru?
Mike Reilly is well regarded as a coach and is "nice."
WHAT HAPPENED?
Give me a couple days, but as of right now I'm pissed.
