I might have missed this when he was hired, but I thought this was interesting. It's a quote from the Oregonian.
Riley on why he took the job:
"It all happened so fast, but it was really hard for me because I love Oregon State. I had a good friend in coaching, it was actually Mack Brown who said... "go do this job and have fun with it.
"Different challenge. Difference conference. A great place, that historically had been at the top... I really didn't look any further than that. That kind of attitude carried me through a very, very tough decision."
