Mavric Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Quote This is the low moment in the past 10 years. It harkens back to 2007, when Nebraska had that disastrous final season under Bill Callahan, and Steve Pederson, the athletic director, was let go in the middle of the year after they got blown out at home by Oklahoma State. Tom Osborne had no choice by the end of the season but to fire Callahan and bring in Bo Pelini. Nothing that happened under Pelini on the field was as bad, when you consider the opponent, as what happened Saturday. From that point of view, it's pretty alarming because there have been a lot of bad things that have happened at Nebraska over the past decade. And it was illustrated by what happened after the game with Shawn Eichorst, who is normally under a shield of darkness, offering himself to the media and basically telling the state and the fan base that this is it, everyone has to take responsibility.

teachercd Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Riley basically dropped the lamp...he has some super-glue and is trying to put it back together. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Riley's press conference leads me to believe that he can't fix Nebraska. 1 Quote Link to comment

I AM FOOT FOOT Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm at the point that I think Riley has no idea how to fix a flailing team because he has had many many many opportunities to do so before he ever set foot in Lincoln and didn't do it.great person though. 1 Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I can think off two instances considering opponent that were almost worse than last Saturday 1 Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Bo was handed a 5 win team with 11 win talent. Riley was handed a 9 win team with 9 win talent. What's laughable is actually thinking Bo was leaps and bounds better on the field. Yeah, 7 years of stockpiling wins vs scrubs will make it look better in retrospect. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Just now, unlfan said: Spin it any way you want. Bo took a losing program and made it a consistent winner. Riley has taken a consistent winner and turned into a .500 club. Well just think, when the next guy comes in he can take a 5 win team with 10 win talent and do wonders with it! Just like Bo did! Part of me wishes Bo were still here to see his awful recruiting efforts come to fruition so we could put this argument to rest. Bo was on a major trend downward. Was it lose to Purdue and NIU bad? Honestly, maybe. He wasn't getting it done, and so far neither is Riley. But pretending Bo was actually doing anything worthwhile is just denial. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 3 minutes ago, unlfan said: Not being able to admit Bo far outperformed Riley to this point is also denial. Well considering Bo had 7 years and Riley has only had 2 1/3 it's a s#!tty comparison. But if you were hapoy with those awesome 9 win lackluster get blown out by top teams seasons under Bo, more power to ya. I'm not hapoy now, and I wasn't happy at the end of his tenure either. But good on you for staying so loyal to a guy who wouldn't be doing much better if he were still here. Quote Link to comment
