Why do you say he had to throw a staff together really fast? He was hired very, very early.My thought on the concern of firing 3 coaches in 2 years is this: when Riley was hired, he had to throw together a staff really fast so they could salvage the recruiting class that year. He hired people he knew and was comfortable with/had worked with for a long time. I don't find it all that surprising that some of his long time guys didn't work out. Maybe they weren't really 100% up for starting a new challenge, who knows. I'm just glad to see Riley sees the problem and has the ability to fire his friends. Here's hoping he's got someone great lined up.
Curious as to why you think this? I'd be more willing to be that it didn't come from the admin.Dollars to donuts, this 'decision' came from the administration.

Maybe my memory sucks (probably does), I was just thinking he was hired early December which would've given him less than 2 months till signing day. Not a ton of time to interview potential staff, IMO.Why do you say he had to throw a staff together really fast? He was hired very, very early.

You are correct Thill just needs to get his agenda on!Maybe my memory sucks (probably does), I was just thinking he was hired early December which would've given him less than 2 months till signing day. Not a ton of time to interview potential staff, IMO.
Because it's not in Riley's nature and he's had 20+ years prior to make a change.Curious as to why you think this? I'd be more willing to be that it didn't come from the admin.
You're right about the timing, but that's still early in the game. Interviewed and accepted the job on Tuesday following the end of tree regular season. Doesn't happen any earlier than that.Maybe my memory sucks (probably does), I was just thinking he was hired early December which would've given him less than 2 months till signing day.

Give it a rest.You are correct Thill just needs to get his agenda on!
