brophog Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yes. I have no idea why. Then again, I have no idea why he was here for the first three years, so maybe it makes sense. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I feel sad for the Riley lovers...This must hurt even more. You invested a lot and tricked your heart...just like Beaver fans did for years. How lame is it that Riley might actually "retire" with a better winning % at OSU than NU. Quote Link to comment

They were the first to say the "whiners" weren't true fans and we should all fall in line. Opposing opinions aren't welcomed. You know the whole saying about "those that cast the first stone..."

Also if grown adults hurt (whatever that means) over the failings of a football coach they probably need to get some perspective on things. IMO Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I hated the hire but I wanted to believe it would work. I love it when the huskers great awesome. Also, when I say "hurt" that is relative. Like...if you are posting on a message board you clearly "care" about the team and even though you are "hurt" about the loss and or coach it clearly not some great hole in your life. Who are the Riley lovers? Like, by name? I guess I don't know for sure but there are a lot. Most of them are probably Bo-haters. Quote Link to comment

Bret Bielema was rumored as was a (highly unlikely) Saban conference call (ya right) that the Dark Lord turned down. Then there was the Tressel nonsense... Quote Link to comment
NoKoolAidForME Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The only thing worse than a lame duck coach is a lame duck AD. Unles they are are both gone a coaching search would be tough. Quote Link to comment

On the otherside though I personally know a ton of folks that disliked Bo. Quote Link to comment

Gotta love the media and their timing of announcement. It's not the media's fault. Riley's contract was extended in January. Shawn Eichorst just didn't release that information to the public until recently. The guy is a recluse and flip flopper. Quote Link to comment

There is an end to the gravy train. You keep saying we have a history of knee jerk reactions but if you look at the top 25 programs they average about 2.5 coaches in the last 7 years. Most programs don't have the same coach for 20 years like Nebraska pre - 1997. This is the new college football landscape. Need to be quick to adapt and prove results if you want to survive. 1 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I think the BOR will be okay with the Winning-Vampire going. Quote Link to comment

Is 5 good, stable years reasonable enough? Quote Link to comment

The only issue we all have to remember about Eichorst going to Wisconsin is the fact it looks like they already have their successor in ex-Badger great Chris McIntosh who is the Deputy Athletic Director and Barry Alvarez's right hand man. If Eichorst is no more, it won't be because he is leaving as Wisconsin's new AD. Personally I think Riley "retires" after this year or next. 7-5 or worst and he is gone. Quote Link to comment
