    You have to beat them first.

    But I mean real garbage. Like my first 2 years of ever caring about pac football when I was a freshman and soph in 07 we beat them by like 35 each time.

    Garbage, like, 60% of their team injured and playing the 2nd string janitor two years ago or practicing in the Denny's parking lot on short notice and still pushing in our shit? Like that kind of garbage?

    We don't want to see the squad, we just dont.....

    Yes. A playoff caliber team, good enough to win too, beats the sum total of all of Riley's against-all-odds mediicrity.

    From an objective view point, he didn't accomplish anything. But I'll give you this: Riley's worst year in 14 years at Oregon St. is better than all but 2 years since he's left.

    He wasn't a great coach, but in their history, he was a great hire.

    There's been lots of "good" hires over the years. This where I put Shaw, Whittingham, Pete, Riley, Toledo, Snyder, Tedford, etc.

    The point of the OP though is that there have really only been like 2, maybe 3, gland slam hires in the recent history of this league. They mostly always end up in failure with some occasional good ones.
    That's every conference.
