I feel really good about this. In fact, I think that this was the best combination of hires I could have imagined after the way our last 2 seasons unfolded, our desirability to other coaches, and the way the last coach ended his tenure.

Wasn't going to start a thread on this, but a friend of mine was at a home basketball game in the past two weeks and had an opportunity to talk with MR and Mrs. Riley in the parking lot. This interview pretty much was the same story he told my buddy (my buddy actually knows Mike, Mike called him by name when he saw him). The only tidbit that I had garnered from the one on one conversation my friend had with Mike was a couple of Big10 programs that had reached out to him, either for HC or position coach. He pretty much said he missed being at home (Corvallis), that they hadn't even packed up all of their things in the Corvallis house to move to Lincoln, and they were thrilled to get back home. As he said in the interview, kids and grandkids are here, etc. He didn't care where he could help, he was just glad to be back. Welcome home, Mike!  |
