I’ve thought about that from time to time.
Eichorst never sticks his freckled nose in places it didn’t belong and Banker stays. Does Riley get a Frost like runway with seasons like he had at Oregon State? He had a stretch there where he won 10, 9, 9, 8, and then it fell off a bit. I’d say it’s pretty likely he coaches at least five total, if not more. Eichorst forcing the hiring of Diaco was the push that ended up in the proverbial broken hip, hip, hoorah!
I’d say that would have been preferable to being Frosted, but who knows.
