Thank you. I would do a great below average job. My hat is now in the ring.

I humbly accept the position

After some initial growing pains he turned out to be pretty dang good

RockyBalboa

Agree. Thought he did a great job.

Here comes Jake Heaps coming in to replace Riley.

pinolero

1/27/23 11:27am

I vote John Beck, but he'd be really good to

RockyBalboa

1/27/23 11:28am

I'd like to hear Jake Kuresa

fan_byu

1/27/23 11:31am

He'd also be real good. Some real good alumni to choose from

RockyBalboa

I miss him on 960

NacoCoug

As an alumni who attended from 2010-2014 this made me laugh hard than it should

finally learning when to quit in his old age, nice to see

Digital Gangsta

1/27/23 11:28am

His refusal to quit is why he’s one of my favorite BYU players ever. Yes ever.

YOHONOMOTO

1/27/23 11:53am

and one reason he's one of my least favorites ever. Yes ever.

Digital Gangsta

1/27/23 12:06pm

That’s it. Teach the kids to be soft little quitters.

YOHONOMOTO

1/27/23 1:09pm

or teach them self awareness, humility, and what's best for team

Digital Gangsta

1/27/23 1:37pm

Or… play your heart out every day and let the coaches coach.

YOHONOMOTO

1/27/23 2:05pm

That's not his problem. If there was any problem at all, it was on the coaches.

Indy Coug

1/27/23 1:14pm

both the coaches and Riley deserve blame for this

Digital Gangsta

1/27/23 4:27pm

People who were vehement to blame Riley at that time

SinkingQuffa

1/27/23 9:50pm

It is clear based on this thread that you haven't learned to quit despite sounding like a complete ignoramus

kimdaddy35

1/28/23 3:10am

that's not on me, that's on the mods, mama didn't raise no quitter

Digital Gangsta

1/28/23 5:44pm

As that was a side gig, what is his real job?

1/27/23 12:01pm

Odd there’s only 12 games a year, mostly weekends

I'mBatman

1/27/23 11:31am

Who’s got time to watch byu football games and get paid for it?

buckeyecougarguy

1/27/23 11:32am

Maybe he has a good job opportunity that makes him move away from Utah

Indy Coug

1/27/23 11:34am

Sounds like he's going to be around the area

fan_byu

1/27/23 11:35am

There's travel 6 of those weekends plus all the prep-time. That sounds pretty

mudpupper

1/27/23 11:39am

Probably coaching kids sports that take Saturdays

NotRelated

1/27/23 11:44am

There's a lot of prep that goes into these games so I'm sure that's weighing

VACOUGFAN

1/27/23 1:11pm

I’ll bet he spends a lot more time doing prep than than actual game time.

Soy Celeste

1/27/23 3:53pm

With BYUtv out of the picture for Football does Blaine F shift to radio?

TripleCrownCoug

1/27/23 11:32am

He and Wrubell wouldn't co-exist well in my opinion.

mudpupper

1/27/23 11:38am

I think that would be a mistake.

kimdaddy35

1/27/23 11:42am

Please no, over explaining every play

pegushin

1/27/23 11:58am

Wrubell would go bonkers in that situation.

mudpupper

1/27/23 12:36pm

BYUtv will still do pregame and postgame shows. Right?

Ham

1/27/23 8:39pm

Bummer, I liked listening to him. He was really good.

byusage

1/27/23 11:33am

I liked Riley, I think he did a really good job. Hopefully he is replaced by someone good as well.

kimdaddy35

1/27/23 11:35am

I loved his analysis. He was really good at that job. I'm sad, and hope someone

Geldir

1/27/23 11:45am

He did a really good job especially for his short tenure.

CSoul

1/27/23 11:46am

Can Marc Lyons come back?

Jeffacka

Might just be me but I barely considered Riley a real cougar. I just have mixed

LaserCoug

1/27/23 12:23pm

He played at BYU for 4 years. Ended up with 41 touchdowns. He's absolutely

Rise Against

1/27/23 12:26pm

BYU blue through and through.

Soy Celeste

1/28/23 2:10am

32 games played is a short tenure as QB?

fan_byu

1/27/23 12:28pm

This will always be the Riley game for me. Glad I was there #aggietears

SWKTDweller

1/27/23 12:37pm

Appeared in more games at BYU than

BYU Statsman

Plus, he'll forever be a Cougar thanks to this moment:

Rise Against

1/27/23 12:54pm

I still love how the ref didn't even react.

VACOUGFAN

1/27/23 2:29pm

Wow what a terrible post. Not a real Cougar? Honestly you should delete this post.

kimdaddy35

1/27/23 1:04pm

Definitely just you

YOHONOMOTO

1/27/23 1:12pm

Wouldn't that mean Taysom's not a real cougar? The Nacua bros aren't real

Corn Pop

1/27/23 2:37pm

This up there with the worst takes I’ve ever read on CB. You should delete it.

WillsPitStop

1/27/23 2:40pm

Kudos for not deleting this terrible take

cruiserhead

1/27/23 11:28pm

Tell me you cheer for both BYU and USU and a little more for USU without actually saying it.

What a great dude. He went from passable to pretty dang awesome. I wonder if

1/27/23 12:46pm

My favorite part of Riley’s calls was how early he would see stuff as a play was developing and would react. He was

cheezedawg

1/27/23 12:47pm

Seems like it's a thing with former QBs (see Tony Romo). I wouldn't mind if

ldssdl

1/27/23 1:06pm

I didn't get the impression that was Wrubbell's favorite part

Clark Addison

1/27/23 1:12pm

Greg isn't much for sharing the mic

Corn Pop

1/27/23 5:04pm

Former QB’s have an advantage at color. But I think JKuresa would also be great

Big Daddy D

That's too bad. He did a good job

Brandon Doman would be great

mcnasty

Linehan!!

Refugee

1/27/23 4:55pm

Over/under on how many references he would make to 4th and 19?

kirty

1/27/23 4:58pm

LOL, it would be like someone on CB trying to explain what was happening. I love Linehan, but is football IQ is only

kimdaddy35

1/27/23 5:00pm

Brady Poppinga and Derik Stevenson! Let's pump the airwaves with testosterone.

germm

1/28/23 10:08am

You all know you would be turning down Beth Mowins to listen to Brady and Derik.

germm

1/28/23 10:11am

Hans Olsen would be a good pick.

dodgersjazzcougs

1/28/23 10:17am

Hans would be so good. That would be fun

MaxxPower

1/28/23 10:37am

Riley is q of the best analysts I've ever listened to for Y football

Coug Dude

1/28/23 12:42pm

Probably a good career move for Riley if he is looking to increase his income.
