I saw that he was spotted packing yesterday. Which I can only assume means he is moving back to Oregon. He has also been quoted as saying he doesn't feel like he is done coaching. If that is the case, where does he end up? I don't see any Power 5 taking a shot on a 65 yr old .500, fired coach. Does he end up at some local smaller college or high school? Maybe get back into Oregon St in some way or another, maybe admin even. Does he just call it quits and retire with his Nebraska millions? Whatever he ends up doing. I do wish him the best.
Where does Riley end up?
- Thread starter Ewooc
- Start date
A few years down the road... some husker player that Riley recruited will make a huge play leading the huskers to victory... and ol' Riley will be out there somewhere... he'll be out there smiling.
I'm sure someone is looking for a horrible, losing HC but is a "nice guy".
Hip hip hooray, he'll say. He just may. Seriously I hope he does what will make him happy and give him fulfillment
Maybe a school in crisis mode trying to avoid the death penalty.
Back in Oregon, with his feet propped up on a tackle box....at the end of his dock...on the lake house that he bought for cash....all while pulling 2.5% in safe yielding CD's on about 6.3 million.
...enjoying life.
I thought our fans were better than UCF board, contributing nothing but low level statements and insults. Guess not. You should go take a peak over on their board you would fit right in.
2 questions. 1. How old are you? guessing 12 or 13. 2 How many user names have you created Newbie? Due to being kicked off I assume for low intellectual comments .
We should encourage him to retire in Lincoln to help Nebraska's tax situation. The income tax he'll pay isn't chump change.
Why the hell does NE need more tax revenue???? As I posted on another thread, was thinking of moving back to Nebraska but between fully taxing Social Security, pensions and investments (at a fairly high rate), sales tax and some of the highest property tax in the nation, forget it. Not to mention death tax. What does Nebraska do with all that money????
social programs are a HUGE drain....I don't live in Nebraska largely because of their income tax. I had one business deal in Nebraska years ago where I had a short term capital gain of about 70K in a deal that took about 3 weeks to complete and they took about a third of my profit basing the tax on my 1040 gross income. Nebraska is just as bad as the people's republic of MInnesota. You can live right across the border in South Dakota or Wyoming and have a much lower tax burden. Lewis and Clark Lake area near Yankton SD is beautiful.
Talk about a guy that blew the opportunity of a life-time....Mike Riley.
Although it doesn't seem to bother him that he was a complete disaster at Nebraska.

We want to be near family in Omaha so are looking across the river in Mills Co IA. Iowa doesn't tax Social Security, gives you a break on the first $12K of pensions for married filing joint, sales tax is 1% less than Bellevue and property tax is .07% less. Iowa does have a higher income tax rate than NE though.
I had to file Iowa income tax for a while for one of my kids. What a pain in the ***. Dakota Dunes, SD just north of Sioux City is just 90 minutes from the big O all interstate. ZERO state income tax.
Yeah, I have a detailed spreadsheet of projected monthly after tax retirement income for CA, NV, SD, NE and IA. The Iowa sheet was a nightmare to figure the income tax burden, but Nebraska's wasn't much better. CA is pretty straight forward.
We looked at the Dakota Dunes area and liked it, be we expect to be providing free day care and such, so a 90 minute drive will not be practical.
Depending on how many miles you live from the daycaree, it might make more sense to pay the NE income tax and live closer. It's amazing how much the actual cost, with depreciation etc, is to commute even 5-6 miles a day. You can blow through a $1000 pretty quickly.
No, I mean they are dropping the kids off with us, not every day, but for weekends, vacations, etc. In that case, driving over to Mills Co and paying the bridge toll is their headache.
