I respect it. If you love where you are why leave?

Become a folk hero and beloved by an entire state.

A few million more with insane expectations isn’t always worth it.

Maybe he’s the rare coach that isn’t a sociopath.

Nah at least some part of that makes sense because it's the Lions

The guy doesn't even currently have an agent. He's an interesting fellow. He also likes to talk about himself in the third person like he's Rickey Henderson.

Two observations ..first he must be making a ton at Iowa st and what is the fascination with him?

Personally..he is an average coach in a weak conference.

Completely possible. I have heard both side of the stories, one saying this, and one saying that. I don’t believe anyone will know 100 percent what went down.

Well, while I would have been happy with the Riley hire considering the names floating around I would rather have Kelly. And while I believe hire was in the works during all the Riley talk you are probably right..

Great coach but apparently not the brightest.


He likes his life and family. How much is he making? How much does he have to make to satisfy you?

Nah you’re right honestly. Problem is, Campbell is a 10x better coach than the fraud pussy you guys just hired. Congrats

He literally recently turned down an NFL offer.

Granted, it was the Lions, but still.

Makes sense to me. If you’re making millions and you’re happy, why leave?

Not everybody wants to be in that pressure cooker of the NFL or the top tier college jobs.

He's turned down USC and Washington. I think the guy just doesn't want anything to do the that bunch of liberal weirdos on the left coast.
