Of course Riley inherited a better situation. And? I never said he didn’t. But I sure as fuck would argue that he took a aggy reject and turned him into a fucking Heisman candidate. That is coaching bubba, whether you want to acknowledge it or not. And he moved quickly when he had to dump the baggage of his predecessor in Mike Stoops. And if what we saw yesterday is any indication, those fuckers are getting better.
And what does “getting credit” even mean? You do understand that coaching is a results based occupation, don’t you? You don’t become part of the top 5% of earning occupations by getting better. You turn it around, now. If we lose the bowl game we will basically have lost as many games as we did last year. That is not much of anything to write home about.
It has been 10 years since the University of Texas won what many on this site call a shitty conference. 10 years is a long dam time. Herman is in year two of a five year contract. He still has time, the question CDC will have is asking if Herman is on schedule. It doesn’t matter what I think.
