These two made me

Seriously, what is with the media's love of Mike Riley? He's had one really good season (2006, 10-4), a couple of good seasons, and been okay otherwise, and his resume is basically a bunch of Sun and Las Vegas Bowls, yet he's always bandied about as this phenomenal coach. And spare me the "it's Oregon State" stuff - Dennis Erickson won 11 games and a Fiesta Bowl there.

And Cutcliffe? Lulz. That's a prisoner of the moment nod if I've ever seen one. He had Eli Manning and all he got out of it was a Cotton Bowl, and he's had a losing record every single year at Duke with the exception of last year.
