He is coming in with Peterson.

The Gophers, with a few occasional hiccups, were truly dominant basically from their inception all the way through the end of Bierman's first tenure (1941). Other than the 1961 and 1967 seasons, they've been more or less the same every year since 1941 - mediocre-to-poor. Since 1967, the Gophers have finished 3rd in the Big Ten three times. Of course, they've never finished 1st or 2nd in that time frame.

Would be a great hire. Also heard more than a few times he's the most decent coach in college football, not a phony or corrupt bone in his body

I'd be surprised if Riley left Oregon State but I think it would be a good hire.

He's done a good job with the Beavers, especially considering they are little brother in their own state.

Is 45 the new 30?

Funny. I guess the Racine airport is a good place to conduct an interview.

I see a Riley as an hc for 5 years or so transitioning into an athletic director position. He's a cerebral guy, well- respected, and great offensive mind. I then see him followed by his protege as head coach. U

He only makes 1.4....

maybe we found a nitch here. The Pac 12 coaches are paid worse than the B1G coaches, who are paid worse than the SEC coaches.

Oregon State beat writer already disputing the report:

@LindsayRae19: Oregon State fans need to take a deep breath. Sources telling me reports about Riley interviewing at Wisconsin are false. Stay tuned.

Of course, at least the denials are coming in quicker now. We no longer have to sift and winnow through 40 posts; nice an convenient on the first page.

Maybe Riley is pulling a Bielema?

Barry will never pull a Jeff Long. Not after what just happened.

I have no inside sources in the UW athletic dept but my friend used to work in the Oregon State athletic dept. He says no way this is happening. Fwiw

I am interviewing after Riley next week. I will take the job if offered. I am the source for this report.

The Gophers, with a few occasional hiccups, were truly dominant basically from their inception all the way through the end of Bierman's first tenure (1941). Other than the 1961 and 1967 seasons, they've been more or less the same every year since 1941 - mediocre-to-poor. Since 1967, the Gophers have finished 3rd in the Big Ten three times.

Your athletic director just told me that you haven't asked for permission and that you're not leaving your job.
