Riley not taking ASU job

Well, I would have been VERY surprised is Coach Riley took the ASU job. I don't think he was really ever a serious candidate for that job, but it was something to keep the beat writers busy.

Turns out Dennis Erickson will be coaching the Sun Devils for the next few years. That could be a big get for ASU, but I don't think it means ASU can dial in a trip to the National Championship in the next few years.

The job I was always concerned about was the Alabama job. Since Coach Riley went to 'Bama, I figured he'd take a serious look at that position. But since he turned them down a few years ago, maybe he burned his bridges at that school. My guess is Mike will be at OSU a long time.

Go Beavs!
