I’m seriously worried sellout steak ends at Iowa game don't deem him a fool at all.. only those with their own agenda and not the best interest of NU as a whole, would call him that. 7 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Moos is hired, says he doesn't fire coaches mid season. Now we sit 4-5, why go back on your word? Probably because we have become the school that fires the crap out of people for not delivering on what they promise. 1 Quote Link to comment

I respectfully disagree. There is no reason NOT to fire him. Letting Riley stay accomplishes nothing. Some say neither does firing him. Yet inability to act when your house is on fire in my opinion makes you a fool. You do Something!!! You say Riley will not be back. Inability to make a decision gives most Husker fans pause that once again they will make another horribly spectacular bad decision. Once again my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment

ladyhawke Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I predict the stadium will be packed for the Iowa game simply because it will be the last football game of the season, it is the dying swan song of this staff (Parella excepted) and Iowa fans will buy up every ticket possible just so they can gloat. You know how they are 1 Quote Link to comment

He has to cut out the cancer...now. I’m seriously worried sellout steak ends at Iowa game I wouldn't put much value in the opinion of anyone who'd deem him a fool for going against his beliefs as an experienced AD to appease our impatient fan base. I'm all for calling the Riley experiment over, but I see no reason to make a change to the program with two games left in the season when there's very little chance that we'd win either game, regardless of who's coaching. People need to understand that Moos has been doing this for awhile, and if he intends to let Riley finish the year, it's probably for good reason. As for the sellout streak, it won't be ending this year. The boosters have that locked down already. 1 Quote Link to comment
jauken Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Our fan base is Not impatient. It’s embattled. It’s embarrassed and rightfully so pretty pissed off. I have no doubt he will let Riley finish the year. Is that a mistake? I think so Quote Link to comment
jauken Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Parella. It’s addition by subtraction. You get rid of Riley and it shows fan base you care. Right now it appears that moos will wait irregardless of how this team or coach performs. It screams apathy. They don’t care so why should we??? Quote Link to comment

I think so Those who can't wait until the end of the season despite there being almost zero chance that we'll beat Penn State or Iowa (let alone both) are absolutely impatient. I understand that this season has been a nightmare for our entire fanbase, but whether we fire Riley today or at the end of the season, we still have two more games to play, and they're games that we'll almost certainly lose. Unless Moos has Frost, Chip Kelly, or someone else ready to step in and the negotiations are at the point where all that has to happen is one signature and it's a done deal, I don't see what we stand to gain by making the move now. Obviously Moos isn't perfect, but like I said, he's been doing this for awhile. Until I see a reason not to, I'm willing to trust that he'll do what's right for the program. 3 Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I would be mildly surprised if Riley isn't fired in a short, tasteful press conference tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment
The Strain Is Real Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I agree Hammerhead. In 12 days and 2 games there will be some kind of statement from Moos. Make an advent calendar to pass the time! 2 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Moos said he didn't fire coaches mid season. Which was a relevant statement in the middle of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment

When you have a game like yesterday, from the Minnesota touchdown on the opening kickoff, to the two time outs and two humiliating sacks that ended it, you are witnessing a thoroughly demoralized team and coaching staff. At that point it's not about patience, or not having a better interim coach in place. You actually have people in misery and the change is good for everyone. For the players, for Moos, for the fans and even for Riley. None of it affect negotiations with future coaches an iota. Stopping the charade lets everyone move their energies to more productive places. 3 Quote Link to comment
