“He said, ‘What exactly do you do?’ ”

 

Van De Riet broke out a 3-inch binder he had been working on that detailed his job and what the previous staff had been working on, recruiting philosophy, etc. Riley said, “Very cool. I like this stuff. Can we keep using it?”

 

Then Riley told Van De Riet he could stay if he wanted to, but not before one final question.

 

“Can you be loyal to me?” Riley asked.

 

“Absolutely,” Van De Riet said.

Nice article.

If a person is paying attention, there is a pretty good explanation in there as to how a career .500 coach can reasonably be expected to get the job done at Nebraska. Also between the line answers for why he brought some of the guys with him that he did and has been making adjustments ever since.

“I remember the first time we drove into town and saw the stadium,” Van De Riet said. “It was like, ‘Holy crap.’ It was pretty neat.

 

“They pulled into the stadium and walked us in. It was like the ‘Rudy’ line, this is the most beautiful sight these eyes have seen. I’m not trying to be corny, no pun intended. I was like, ‘Wow.’ ”

Merry Christmas and Happy Spring Game. Van De Riet said when he saw 70,000 Husker fans at the spring game, he said, “What the heck did we get ourselves into?”
