brophog Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If he loses to Rutgers, he may as well retire to his place of choice. You can't lose to a team as horrible as Rutgers following the start of this season and survive. Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Here's a question I don't know the answer to. Why do schools fire coaches before the end of the season? Seems like it is becoming more common but I don't see the advantage for the school. Do they believe the team would do better without the HC while putting an assistant as interim HC? Is this a way to advertise early that they are looking for a new coach? Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Not sure, I'm guessing if he loses the next two, that's all she wrote. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 No, we need an new AD first! Quote Link to comment

Not only that, but the recruiting periods and bowls make the end of the season messy and hectic. 1 Quote Link to comment

AD will get hired and use next several weeks to make decision on Riley. I anticipate he's canned Saturday after Thanksgiving. is it required to have an AD to fire a coach? if we lose to rutgers, riley has no business finishing the rest of the year as coach.

Why does it matter if he finishes the rest of the year (or until the new AD has time to find someone) as a coach? If you think he has no business, why would his assistants have business doing it? And if not them, who's going to step in as the temp coach? Quote Link to comment

To hire somebody as soon as possible so that they can recruit before players have made their decisions for one. Quote Link to comment

We are still paying BO & gave Riley a extension. Are you paying the extra salaries? Quote Link to comment

Apathy Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If he loses to Rutgers this Saturday, I would think that would be the final nail on the coffin because Rutgers since joining the B1G have been atrocious Quote Link to comment

That thought entered my head but I'm not sure it matters - because they wouldn't necessarily need to give the interim head coach a raise. So they'd be paying everyone the same amount, and Riley would just start getting his buyout earlier. Quote Link to comment
