Think back to when Riley was hired...

[teachercd]

What were you first two or three thoughts, be honest.

Mine were...

1.  I don't think this tweet is accurate

2.  Wow, seems like an odd hire

First thought: WTF???

Second thought:  Callahan 2.0

I bet my reaction was like the majority's ... "Who?"

 

[brophog]

I was literally pissed off.

First thought: where's Google when you need it

 

[Redux]

I was kinda pissed.  I thought to myself "You fire Bo after not firing him last year and THIS is who you hire immediately?".  I came around though, I knew who he was and was familiar with his OSU tenure.  I thought "Okay, this hire makes sense if they are assembling a super staff".  Then they didnt........and my optimism went into remission.

I actually had that sinking feeling in my stomach, I was extremely disappointed. I had to spend the next week convincing myself he was a diamond in the rough

My third was: Harvey strikes again!

1: Sad it wasn't Tressel or Frost

2: Kind of hopeful because Oregon State beat some good USC teams

Tressel is damaged goods and no P5 conference can hire him due to his handling of OSU issues.  Frost, when asked was not interested in the NU job at the time.

I know, but hiring Tressel still would have been very exciting. Didn't know Frost said these things.
