What about Oregon State's HC Mike Riley. Isn't he a former Alabama player? Why his name was never mentioned as a possible HC?

his wife is from oregon and doen't like it in Alabama, to far from her family. she nixed that last deal.
I heard they were living close to LA and he wanted, was waiting on, the UCLA job? Even while he was coaching in New Orleans, his wife was still living in LA and she is still in LA while he is coaching in Oregon. Maybe that’s all wrong, but regardless, he’s about to get canned at Oregon St, so how would he possibly last at Bama?

I erased the memory of this guys very existance from my hard drive when he gave UA the original Rod. R. Rod may have invented the spread but Riley invented giving bama the shaft.

As someone who is a fan of Oregon State and lives in Oregon, let me tell you. Riley is Mike Dubose Jr. He occasionally wins big games and loses alot of the ones he shouldn't. I'm glad he didn't get to coach my favorite team, Alabama, a few years ago. If you thought Shula was bad, Shula is Bear Bryant compared to Riley. Personally, Riley is a great guy and I'd even invite him to dinner with my family, but no to coach my team.

I think having anything but the most remote ties to Bama is now a big negative for any potential candidate.
