Mike Riley was officially introduced Thursday afternoon as the head coach of a new professional football team in San Antonio.
Riley, the former Nebraska head coach, will helm a team in the newly created Alliance of American Football, a eight-team professional league that is running its season in the spring.
The longtime Corvallis, Ore. resident is leaving his home in one sense, but he's plenty familiar with football in San Antonio. In 1991-92, he coached the San Antonio Riders of the World League of American Football. It was there that he met some of his college football contemporaries, including now-Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst, and also coached quarterback Jason Garrett, now the Dallas Cowboys head coach.
