He took his share of heat for a lot of years before he was as beloved as he is by the Husker fan base today. The former Nebraska defensive coordinator is also full of positivity about this new staff despite NU's 2-3 start. McBride talks about how it takes time to cultivate relationships with a new team, and his praise for the new staff abounds. Said McBride: "He is the only coach that came in, period, that asked any of the former coaches, not for advice about what they're playing, but about people in the state. They wanted to learn as much about it as they could. There's nobody that's ever done that before." He asks Husker fans to "give them a chance". Hear, hear! 12 Quote Link to comment

No wonder Riley looked pale as a ghost after losing to Illinois. 3 Quote Link to comment

huskerfan92 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Man that picture of Riley looks like he didn't sleep the whole weekend. Honestly I wouldn't either. Quote Link to comment

In fact, the first person Callahan spoke with Friday morning after he signed a six-year contract with Nebraska was McBride. "Billy's as good a fit for Nebraska that I can ever imagine," McBride said. . . . . "I told my wife that if Bill didn't make it at Oakland, I hope Steve looks at him," McBride said. "He would be my first choice." 2 Quote Link to comment

But after 3 losses, 4 bad games, including a game that was thrown away, MR is out of chances. My initial reaction of "why was this guy hired" sees to have been the correct reaction. 1 Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Callahan was a good hire. So was Bo. They both got their chances...a chance you don't want to give at all to Riley. Really hard to understand. 4 Quote Link to comment

Really hard to understand. Callahan was bad from day 1. Bo was a question mark, turned out ok, but u ultimately not the right guy. Riley will get his time, and his record will be his legacy. Most hope it's great. But there are many reasons to be skeptical. 2 Quote Link to comment

Most hope it's great. But there are many reasons to be skeptical. agree, Cally showed up with a phone book of plays and shifts......way too much for college kids and the deception before the snaps were hardest on our kids, not the opposing team, we fooled no one except ourselves! Bo was a defensive guy and his complex schemes went to hell, his offense was directed by a paranoid OC.......Beck was goofy, "basketball on grass my ass"......... they are both gone for good reasons......it is early, but Riley has not displayed his experience as of yet.....some painfully obvious mistakes by him and 'dorf.....so far.

BoNeyard Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 id like to give Riley time, really would...but at 62 his time was running out the moment he was hired. 1 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 What's he supposed to say??? Of course he's not going to talk badly about a new Nebraska coach regardless of who it is. He's not going to dog any new coach even if it's Mike Riley or someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment
commando Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Keyshawn Johnson also has positive feelings about Riley...not so much for the negative fans. http://www.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/recruiting-keyshawn-says-husker-fans-should-show-patience-with-riley/article_ad205426-6dfe-11e5-9023-03405f8a5ff3.html 1 Quote Link to comment
