into it as well. It's likely not JUST the games since he said he'd still be going to the games with his kids. It's all the prep time and all the traveling to the road games that I'm sure factored into his decision.

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

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

Here comes Jake Heaps coming in to replace Riley.

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

RockyBalboa

I'd like to hear Jake Kuresa

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

I miss him on 960

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

kimdaddy35

YOHONOMOTO

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

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

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

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

Clark Addison

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

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

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

Hans Olsen would be a good pick.

dodgersjazzcougs

Hans would be so good. That would be fun

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

Coug Dude

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