Many people across various boards are down on Riley this morning. Somewhat understandable. That was not a powerhouse Irish team we played, Who would have been the better hire if you had the pick? And would we be better than 17-4 ? Of the names I recall:
A) Brian Kelly
B) Luke Fickell
C) Dave Aranda
D) Matt Campbell
E) who did I forget
As im sure you can guess I would still take Riley but who would you pick?
Riley scurried when the SEC came calling. Wait until the Big10 next year. LOL. That's going to be savage.
I'd say whoever brought Caleb with him. Without Caleb, I seriously doubt we would be anything close to 17-4 with Riley or anyone else.
I'd rather have Riley
Meyer!
Luke Fickell, but he wasn't going anywhere outside of the upper mid-west. The rest are a pass. Would Fickell be 17-4 at this time? Maybe not but I would have taken him for the long game.
I know Aranda and Campbell were the hot names here two years ago but wasn't I impressed with either.
Who would you have liked at that time (besides Riley)?
Urban Meyer
Kyle Whittingham
Either of those would have a better choice than Riley or the rest of your list.
Where have you gone Marv Goux? Per SC-ND, "Big man on big man".
Why is this even a question? lol....Riley is a good coach. Just needs a DC with a pulse.
Some of you Trojans are so reactionary it's crazy.
