grandpasknee Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Does this make everyone else think that Moos has already had the talk with Riley in private? I can't imagine him saying it like this unless they'd had a frank discussion already. 1 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I think so, yeah. I think that is the right thing to do actually. If I was in Riley's shoes I would rather know and I am sure the asst coaches would want to know too. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 "I applaud this fan base," Moos said, "because they've been patient and they haven't had the product -- at least from my observation in the short time I've been here -- that I feel that they deserve. It's why we're taking a real hard look at this and one of the reasons I am out to hear their disgruntled thoughts on the state of the program." 2 Quote Link to comment

He's a leader, that's completely obvious at this point. I agree with the decision as long as it doesn't cause us to lose SF or some other big name coach. My guess is he's not firing him for a few reasons: 1. He's a man of his word, he means what he says and is going to stick by that, that takes guts. 2. He's in negotiations with SF's agent and they are trying to come to an agreement so he doesn't have a replacement at this point to make him comfortable firing Riley. 3. He's come to an agreement with SF so he's comfortable knowing Riley is gone after Black Friday and he can announce SF after that. 4. Worse case scenario: He's scrambling behind the scenes to get a coach in place to be able to fire Riley. Of course it could be a completely different coach at this point too........... Personally, I think it's a hiring benefit to be able to say look I stick to my word. That means if Moos makes a commitment to give our next coach x amount of time, they know they'll have it. If you go back on your word in a public place, it doesn't instill hope in our next coach. It seems like the AD department has more damage control to do than anything. This is a good first step. 3 Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Quote The AD said he thinks he's "on schedule" after watching three games to form an analysis on Riley's program. Edited November 13, 2017 by QMany Quote Link to comment

That's a great quote, and I appreciate you putting it in this thread. It's buried in the middle of the article, but that shows that Moos is going to fire Riley, he's just not doing it right now.

Riley was asked about speaking with Moos last week and he said “I have talked to Bill somewhat in depth – not a lot – a couple different times and the topics will be between us at this point” So Maybe.

Hell patching the holes so it doesn't sink is going to take plenty of time before we can even turn the ship to where we need to go. Quote Link to comment

As long as he doesn't say "Mike Riley deserves to return for the 2018 season," I really don't care at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So no John Parrella as interim HC? Those rumors seemed so credible though. 3 Quote Link to comment
Caven Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 http://bigrednation.com/2017/11/adam-rittenberg-espn-nebraska-informed-ucf-want-scott-frost/ Might not be before end of season but this would indicate he is definitely gone. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hilltop Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 For the sake of the seniors and for Mike, I really hope we kick the crap out of Iowa so they all get a great send off. I like Mike and would love to see him leave on a bright note and of course our seniors deserve a little feel good on the way out. 2 Quote Link to comment

We have had very few issues, except for the games. Kind of important Riley. I didn't think it was possible for one of they coaches to say something as dumb as the stuff Diaco says but Riley topped him with this one.
