Mike Riley is a good coach -- looking forward to seeing what he can do in Nebraska. Will be positive for both sides IMO(new blood @ OSU can't hurt).

I always thought Mike Riley was great with what he had, he made Oregon State relevant, then when he got some talent up there he peaked and it's been mediocrity since. He cleaned up, recruiting inner city kids in LA (he was SC's QB coach in the mid 90's). However once Petearrived, those pipelines dried up, and they are still dry.
This can go either way. May be what he needs, I think he needed a change of scenery. This is a big test for him. Completely going to overlook his Charger stint, pretend it didn't happen.

This
As a beaver alum im shocked. I think Riley made choice in best interest of OSU program. He knew they couldnt fire him and he also knew the program needed a change.
Not sure what Nebraska was thinking TBH. I really thought Scott Frost would be the no brainer hire, especially if he could bring that Oregon spread to the Big Ten.
VERY interested to see where Beavs go from here. If they promote Banker from DC to HC I'll have lost all faith. We need a coach who can sell because its really hard to recruit big time talent to OSU. We need Dennis Erickson back

I'm from MS. Been Duke (bball) and Miami (football) fans since I've started watching the sports. I knew I wasn't going there but that didn't stop me from being a fan. Graduated from MS State in '08. Can't remember the year, may have been in 05, but Duke played State in the tourney. My boys that played for State knew I was going for Duke. *mj shrug
Braska fans,
Mike Riley's the big name yall hoped for?

Well he did turn down USC twice and Alabama. So how is it not a homerun? They wanted him badly too if I recall

And he was 5-7 this year. I like Riley as a coach and person, but I don't know how this is a "Homerun"

You have no idea what you are getting yourselves into with that bum. He can't recruit for jack, his offense is HORRIBLE. But, he is a good guy 
He will be fired there within 3 years, book it.
So glad he is gone from Oregon State.

CORVALLIS -- Mike Riley was named the nation's second-most underrated college football coach Saturday in ESPN's weekly college football poll of FBS head coaches.
Duke's David Cutcliffe (13 percent) edged out Riley (11 percent) for the top honor. East Carolina's Ruffin McNeill was third (8 percent), followed by Mark Dantonio (7 percent) and Minnesota's Jerry Kill and Kansas State's Bill Snyder (5 percent each).
Riley and Dantonio tied for the most votes from Power 5 conference coaches at 14 percent. Riley, the Pac-12's longest-tenured headman, is 90-73 with the Beavers. He has led OSU to eight bowl appearances in his 14-year Corvallis career.
Of the 128 FBS coaches polled by ESPN's Brett McMurphy, 97 participated. Thirty-nine coaches received votes.
He's a homerun imo because he fits ours needs. He also flourishes where we are weak in

Not someone on staff, that would be a ******* disaster. We need someone who can recruit. At this point the Beavers aren't even mediocre, we are bottom feeders. I think someone maybe like Ed Orgeron, or look at assistants on big time programs who are ready to move up as a HC.
I also think our AD Bob Decarolis should be fired but highly doubt that will happen.
Who would you like to see the Beavers hire?

100% agree with Decarolis
Agree though too, no way they can promote within after the year they had. I love Banker as a person, but this year was so ugly on defense when it looked semi promising before the season
. I'm not sure thought to be honest. You make a good point with Orgeron. We need a coach who can recruit big time athletes to corvallis which isn't easy, which will probably drive alot of good coaches away. The good thing is that there is no where to go but up.
