Florida fired McElwain because he was caught in a lie that embarrassed the university. I don't know why Tennessee decided to fire Jones now, but I don't see why we should be looking at them as a shining example of how to operate a football program. Quote Link to comment

Florida fired McElwain because his offenses sucked. They timed the firing of him after his comment about death threats so they could negotiate down his $12M buyout. Quote Link to comment

UT appeared to quit on Butch yesterday vs Missouri. Similar to Nebraska quitting on Riley yesterday. Quote Link to comment

My point is that that's why he was fired during the season rather than after. Quote Link to comment

Correct, so if Riley gives us a potential reason to fire him for cause, which allows us to negotiate the buy out, then by all means, take advantage of situation to benefit the University. Barring that opening by Riley, there is no good reason to fire Riley now as opposed to the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment

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??? Your premise is wrong from the jump. Moos is doing exactly what he said he would do when he was hired, and the fans who heard that understand why he is waiting. Irregardless is not a word. 3 Quote Link to comment

Wooo yeah, that would ruin his season and cause many people to lose respect for him. Only the mentally challenged think HCMR will e retained for another year. Coaching changes happen when the season is over. Except for those two coaches in major conferences fired already. Yeah. Doesn’t happen Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 You need to keep Riley on for the next couple weeks because it fits the narrative. If Riley is still the HC he's the guy at the front of the pack getting the slings and arrows and taking the brunt of the criticism. The second you fire Riley the narrative shifts to Moos and things turn into overdrive (even moreso than they are now) where Nebraska fans start tracking flights and go 100% volcano level crazy. Keeping Riley on buys Moos cover to do his thing. Nebraska is paying Riley a lot of money to essentially be a punching bag right now. Let him take the hits. 3 Quote Link to comment

He has to cut out the cancer...now. I’m seriously worried sellout steak ends at Iowa game Those tickets i'm sure have already been sold - streak will not end. There is NOT a single thing that NU isn't doing behind the scenes that Tenn or Florida are doing - unless you are talking about making the fans happy in the short run....
