There has been a lot written this week about Mike Riley, the former Corvallis High School quarterback and Oregon State coach now in charge of the football program at tradition-rich Nebraska.
The piece today by The O's Andrew Greif is the best I've read.
Greif captures a lot of what I feel about Riley, the winningest coach in OSU history.
My first contact with Riley came when he briefly was a candidate for Portland State's head coaching job after Pokey Allen left for Boise State in the early 90s.
Riley withdrew from consideration before things got serious.
