A common theme for keeping Mike Riley is "stability." They say that if you're constantly firing coaches your program will come off as unstable. They're right, well at least about the second part.
Let look at the stability of the Mike Riley era so far. "You can't have stability if you are constantly firing coaches." Year one, fires all of Bo's staff except one, defense backs coach Charlton Warren. Not much to complain about here as bringing in a new staff is common. Little known was how everybody in the football offices were also replaced. The once believed lifers were also removed. (Thanks Shawn.) It is also worth pointing out that those people also serve at the leasure of the football coach so what can you say, stability right?
Year two he fires his D line coach who was an expert D line coach who was unable to teach his players how to fight their way out of a wet paper bag and couldn't recruit anybody. Rightfully fired.
Then the next year we fired some more people in this super stable football department and hired some more people to replace them.
Here's my question. What is so stable about Mike Riley's football program that you use stability as a reason to give him another year?
Go Big Red
