How long does Riley have?

IF 99% of your posts are negative in telling us how poorly the coaching regime is doing...you are a sourpuss. It ain't that hard to understand.

If 99% of your posts are telling us what a great job the coaching regime is doing...you are gleeful. If you can't have some balance, what do you expect people to say?

And you're still not looking anything up. Prove my glee over a 6 win season. You can't. So you generalize and say things like 99% of my posts are telling what a great job the coaching regime is doing (once again avoiding your statement of glee), I have no respect for you. You know the routine... 87.6 percent of all stats are made up on the spot. Just stop with the nonsense and admit people aren't happy with 6-7. They can be happy with a coaching change, they can see optimism for the future, but no one is happy, or gleeful, with 6-7. Either prove it or admit you applied your statement wrong.

If 99% of your posts are trolling, you are a troll. It's not that hard to understand.

Red Rover was gleeful Cool

I'm judging Riley and his staff on what they had to deal with this year and what they accomplished. But some of you are too ignorant or are full on Botards causing trouble. Either way i have little patience dealing with any of you idiots.

I don't think the result that people expect are going to be achieved in 3-4 years -- I think those type of expectations aren't realistic in that time frame
Rileys first full full class will just turn upperclassmen in that time frame. My hope is that we have paved the road to begin to meet those expectations in years 4-8

I'm surprised that you think it's up to an 8 year project? I'm not saying he has 3-4 to win a national championship, but if we aren't winning the division and playing in league championship games by 3-4 years, then things aren't looking very good. I doubt he will be coaching at 70yrs old, but who knows. Personally, I think this whole thing will last <5 years.

What are you talking about? These coaches are great! I'm downright gleeful! Don't doubt these coaches, they have done everything right! Well, at least 99% of the time...



Like this Tulsa? Still waiting for the proof, not the generalities. Gonna be a long wait, I fear...

+1 Even Callahan won the division by Year 3. Pelini did the same. If Riley can't win the division in the next couple years, I'll be disappointed.

I will admit that better recruiting would ease my expectations. If Riley could pull in Top 15 recruiting classes the next couple years, and doesn't have another losing season, I'd be all for giving him more time.

I think people's expectations stretch beyond winning the division ... winning the division is what I would consider paving the way toward bigger results
