Yeah, Riley struggled the last few years at Oregon State. But the fact that he set a standard that would make the last few seasons seem like a disappointment is an accomplishment. ANY "winning" at Oregon State is MAJOR.
Orgeron could have gotten a lot of quality kids to move from Cali to Nebraska.
And from the south/south east. He doesn't get near enough credit for re-tooling Ole Miss. His record there as head coach sucked, but he did a great job recruiting at a high level against the likes of Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Florida, and Georgia.
I think @RoadDawg55 is right, Nebraska went for the anti-Pelini. Orgeron would have been a great hire IMO, but he wears his emotions on his sleeve, not quite the type I think they were shooting for.

Ogeron is not a good coach. Ron zook could recruit too.
