It would have been a mistake either way

Maybe. Riley didn't quite tho.....so I kind of disagree.

I think the jury is still out on Riley. While I expected him to do better at USC than he has, it’s not a Herman situation.

And Riley at least works and puts in effort unlike Kelly.

We can definitively say we dodged a bullet by missing out on Herman. Not sure we can say the same about Riley…. Yet.

Wasn’t Elko also in that hiring class?

Riley is garbage. We could have had Kiffen

Riley is still a good coach. USC just sucks now it’s not a desirable spot
