But does it help to be the first team to have an opening if you don't even have an AD yet? Quote Link to comment

So they'd be paying everyone the same amount, and Riley would just start getting his buyout earlier. They are also paying Eichorst. I think he is here through next year, but his asst. are another story. Quote Link to comment

We're not in dire straits financially. If they see it's worth it in the long run, they're not going to worry about that. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Like it or not. First comes the AD, next comes the review. This is a program change, just not football. Quote Link to comment

huskerfan74 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The fact that Eichorst made it a point to give an interview shows a man desperate for his job. I am betting good money that both Eichorst and Riley are gone after this season. We will lose ugly to Penn State, Wisky, and Ohio State. There will be no bowl game this year. Quote Link to comment

It's business, you budget & save to fix. The fastest fix is the asst. that are not pulling their weight. Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I think they need to put some feelers out and see if they people they want would be interested at all. If you don't think you are gonna get a guy all these recruits are gonna love then keep Riley. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 This the same problem we have had in the past. Coaches bringing in friends who are terrible coaches. Quote Link to comment

I think he's done a good job on the defensive side but he hasn't made the right moves on offense. It's not like he is the hands on coach teaching these kids techniques. It's not his fault we can't block.. it's his fault he hired someone who can't teach kids to block. Quote Link to comment

These specific recruits are important, don't get me wrong, but in the overall scheme of things it's not important to bring someone that Riley's '18 recruits love. They need someone who can recruit well and coach well in the long term. Quote Link to comment

Small class which is half full. What is the ranking by average star rating. You need to look at the whole picture. Quote Link to comment

Well if it isn't a splash hire that everyone is looking for then what's the point because if you lose the top recruits we have they need to be replaced with other top recruits or you are looking at another year at least we won't be very good Quote Link to comment
Jarhead In Red Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I don't know, but I'm thinking they wouldn't fire Riley until a new AD is hired. I do think losing to Rutgers and/or Illinois would seal his fate, but I'm thinking the AD would wait until season's end to pull the trigger. But, I could end up being the Village idiot and be completely off base...... Quote Link to comment
