Lost to Eastern Washington tonight not a good start for a coach under the gun.

Riley is under contract through 2019, and is coming off of a nine win season. Despite losing to a div 2 team today, he won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Mike Reily? 

 

For a second there I thought we had our eye on a Quarterback, who could also Head Coach.

Yeah, Mike Reilly is the qb & Mike Riley is the head coach just to clarify. Eastern Washington isn't a D2 school but D1 FCS. So, while it is an upset, it's not one for the ages. Friday night, Kansas State the Big 10 Champion lost to North Dakota State another D1 FCS team so it happens. And he ain't coming back even if he's fired. We can't afford him. 

For anyone that's familiar with the history of Oregon State, the team was a complete joke before Riley turned them around. It's a tough loss for the program, but the guy is the main reason the team has been turned around. Sure they aren't a Pac 12 power house, but they aren't the laughing stock they once were. The day Riley doesn't coach there is the day Riley decides he no longer wants to coach.

quiet, let us all dream of a triumphant return to Winnipeg to lead the Bombers out of the wilderness and to glory. 

Haha, if that's what we're doing, not to take away from Riley's outstanding career here, but I'm wanting Dave the Bear. Still think it's a damn shame how Lyle screwed him over.

Why not go after Tom  Clements? He's a Bomber alumni.

If you were in Green Bay, coaching one of the best teams in the league, and easily the best QB in the league, I'm not sure I'd be so eager to leave for the joke of the CFL.

I shoulda put a winky smiley after what I said because I wasn't serious. I'll do it now.
