Of course he missed that part.

Did you see where Ex said he made an "educated guess"? Educated? Ex? :pound:

I never missed that part you bonehead, It was more educated than your childish bragging about being at different Mom's locations. That's a grade school thing. :L

Here is a link that says some sort of meeting happened with Riley and OSU admins on Monday, December 1.

The meeting did not go well for Mike Riley.

'Shocked' Beaver Nation tries to make sense of Riley's decision

On Monday, before he left to recruit in California, Riley had a meeting with De Carolis. One source said it was just the two of them. A second source said President Ed Ray was also on hand.

"Something happened in that meeting," the first OSU staffer says. "That's when it changed."

A third source -- who had not talked directly to Riley, but had spoken with someone who had -- says while De Carolis had no intention of firing Riley, the athletic director pulled back on his support in some way. It may have been that De Carolis wanted more control and influence on what Riley felt should be his decisions. It may have been De Carolis wanted Riley to give back some of the seven years left on his contract. It may have been De Carolis didn't want to extend the contracts of assistant coaches beyond next year.

So Riley left for California with mixed emotions about his future at Oregon State.

"Maybe Mike realized," the third source says, "that he can't run a program without the administration's support, no matter how long his contract is."

I took an educated guess about Riley possibly being on the hot seat a few days ago because of his ?stellar? record especially his last five years there, and one jerk here scrutinized me. Thanks Eichorst, for hiring a leftover!


Boy I'll say. We did end up with a leftover.

In fairness, I think Riley should see the season out. He has a chance in four of five games, and people always said he wins a game he is supposed to lose.

Streaks I did not want to see end, but we get a big old OOPS

2015 BYU first year of Mike Riley

2007 Last losing season 2007
2015 last losing season 2015 6-7 first year of Mike Riley

2008 Worst five game start 3-2 2008 Bo Pelini's first year
2015 Worst five game start 2-3 Mike Riley's first year, actually went 2-4 and then 3-6
2017 Worst five game start 3-2 currently at 3-4
