They have yet to hire someone who has come close to having what they already had in Solich.

I have a feeling if you can win in Corvallis, OR (which is a very remote location from what I have heard) and develop NFL players there, then you can pretty much do it anywhere. Maybe, just maybe, Nebraska will have a QB who can actually throw an accurate forward pass for once. The guy has done about as much as you can do with the talent and resources given to him.

Corvallis. Just off I-5, about 90 minutes south of Portland and 40 minutes north of Eugene. Not nearly as isolated as some other schools including Ohio, Virginia Tech, Washington State (Pullman is REALLY isolated), etc. Oregon State just doesn't have the same level of private support that Oregon has in Eugene with generous backing from one Phil Knight who got his undergrad at Oregon - and MBA at Stanford which also benefits from Knight's largesse. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top GoCats105 General User Member Since: 1/31/2006 Location: Seattle, WA Post Count: 7,677 Status: Offline     RE: TOS to Oregon State    Posted: 12/4/2014 3:10:26 PM  Mike Johnson wrote: GoCats105 wrote: I've been saying for years that someone should have hired Riley away from Oregon State.

PULLMAN! That's the city I was thinking of, not Corvallis. Thanks MJ. Back to Top L.C.

It should be interesting, anyway. He may or may not win more games than Pelini, but his demeanor will fit the state better than the prior coach's did. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Old Man General User Member Since: 12/27/2004 Location: Estero, FL Post Count: 22 Status: Offline     RE: TOS to Oregon State    Posted: 12/4/2014 10:07:16 PM  I'm certain it will never happen but it can be fun to dream - wouldn't it be terrific if Pelini rejoined Solich to become the Bobcat's DC??? Holy buckets!!! What he did in Frankie's last year as NU's head coach with the defense was nothing short of miraculous!! (For what it's worth, I wish Pelini had paid more attention to defense at NU and had hired himself a first-rate, grooming-to-soon-be-HC, Offensive Coordinator. I may go to my grave believing the defensive lapses leading to blow-out losses to the likes of Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan, et al. had more to do with his ouster than any other single thing he said or did during his years as Head Coach.) My "football heart" will now be in three places on gameday: with the Huskers, with the Bobcats, and with whoever hires Bo Pelini (unless it's Tejas - I just can't do that!!!)

Like Callahan, Pelini needs to get back to the NFL. He will always wear out his welcome at the college level. There is "More Than Winning." Read the book. "Do not pray for easy lives.

Personally I think Pelini would fare better as a defensive coordinator than as a head coach. That way he could be out of the limelight, and avoid most of the press interactions. Callahan, similarly, fares better without those, but for a different reason.

They have yet to hire someone who has come close to having what they already had in Solich. As I read about Riley, he does seem to have a lot in common with Solich. He's a nice guy, hard working, highly respected by his players, keeps himself physically fit, is good at evaluating talent, and his emphasis is on playing fundamentally solid football, not the latest gadgets. He stays competitive in games, and wins the ones he should, plus some that he shouldn't. If he goes 59-18 over the next few years, he'll probably be fired about the time Solich is ready to retire, and he's about 10 years younger than Frank. ;) Last Edited: 12/5/2014 8:33:09 AM by L.C. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top L.C.

They have an all-time record of 520-555-50, compared to Ohio at 531-535-48. Since 1971 they have 11 winning seasons, of which Riley had 8 of them. So, how do Oregon State fans feel about him being gone? Continuing the parallel, it seems that many Oregon State fans are happy to have Riley gone. It seems he's never won a MACC, er, Pac-12 Championship, and his Pac-12 record is actually under .500 for the last four years, and this year they won't be going to a bowl. Fans also criticize him for his Offensive scheme, and for time management: https://oregonstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1712236 In the end, they thank him for his time there, and for leading them back to respectability, but feel that his time is past, and they need new energy, and a more exciting offense. It will be interesting to see how it goes. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 15,348 Status: Offline     RE: TOS to Oregon State    Posted: 12/5/2014 1:45:28 PM  L.C. wrote: . . .

I'm guessing Oregon State fans want a more wide open offense, perhaps a spread. ;) “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 15  of 15 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 303 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 301 Guests 2 Registered Users:   boydhallbobcat, Kinggeorge4 There are no other users looking at this page.
