I'd a hired Mangino still.
Shocked. Always thought Riley would retire at Oregon St.
Let's not forget Mike Riley once turned down a job offer from Alabama, the team he played for.
Total anti Pelini move. Can't get any farther away from that type of coach.
I have always had major respect for Riley as a coach and human being. Can't think of a guy I'd be more at ease right away entrusting with my kid.
Only thing that made me scratch my head is his age. At 61 is he going to be around long enough to really have a chance to rebuild?

It'll make it look more like a retirement decison when they ask him to leave five years from now
One Nebraska fan in this entire thread.
Are they down in their room trying to agree on if this was a good hire and come out all unified or something???
I hear he drinks unicorn blood so he has at least 30 more years in him.I am happy that MR get's his chance with talent now...upgrade in pay as well.
Braska done good...their fans will learn soon enough.
Yeah MR could coach easily for another ten years...healthy 61 yr old for sure.
