SacBuzz is reporting that Hornet OL Coach Conor Riley has accepted an offer to join the staff at North Dakota State. This makes the second off-season in the last three that Sac State must fill the OL coaching slot.
This sucks for us, but it makes a lot of sense for Riley, as it gets him closer to his home of Omaha. He got his start at UN-Omaha before they abolished their program. Also can't begrudge a guy a step up in the world when we're in FCS-land.
Congrats to NDSU on picking up a guy who helped us greatly this year.

Re: Coaching Move Rumor
Riley is from Omaha and coached at UNO when they shut down the program. I think this has more to do with him wanting to move closer to home/family. He did a great job while at Sac, he will be missed.
