I feel sorry for Mike Riley who has to clean up this "mess." He'll have to initiate further damage control with the returning players on the team. However, I think he's the right guy to do it from all that I've heard/read about him. I think we should feel lucky to have him in our corner at a time like this.

Mike Riley just secured the commitments of 3 players tonight. Eric Lee Avery Anderson Stanley Morgan But yeah, he sucks.

Is this for real? Your grading his "performance" with less than a week on the job? The guy won't coach a game for Nebraska for another 8+ months. But yeah, let's throw dirt on him right now. Unbelievable.

Sean Callahan is saying that Banker is the new DC. Sean Callahan (@Sean_Callahan) tweeted at 9:41 PM on Mon, Dec 08, 2014: Those questioning the Mark Banker DC hire...he held Wisconsin 2012 offense to 7 points and 207 yards - 35 total rushing yards.

Thanks very much for your insight, RileyMan. It is much appreciated on this board. Quick question...and I apologize if it has been asked already. Did John Garrett (and Langsdorf before him) call any plays or did Riley call them all? I don't understand naming an OC if that person isn't going to call any plays. That person is just a glorified position coach.

I like this hire more than any of the position coaches so far. Incredible experience. Love his style of coaching from what I saw in the video. Definitely an upgrade.

Meh. He runs a pro-style offense. More meh. I was really, really hoping for Tressel. I'll hold out judgement, but I'm kinda bummed right now.

What if they announce JT tomorrow today and wait until Sunday for Frost? That's a possibility, sure.

If it's being announced tomorrow, it's not Frost. SE would have waited until after the PAC12 championship game to name Frost.

Re-watched the "Youngstown Boys" 30 for 30 documentary last night (it's on Netflix for those who have it), and it re-emphasized my feeling that Tressel would be a great hire for NU. Proven winner. Great recruiter. Terrific sideline demeanor. And he's a teacher...not some hot head who acts like a child when he doesn't get his way. Sure, he has some skeletons in his closet, but so do a lot of other coaches. Having said that, I don't think he's interested in coaching again. I think he's where he wants to be right now (in Youngstown). But I hope I'm wrong.

Tressel isn't on that plane. He just tweeted this a few minutes ago: https://twitter.com/JimTressel5/status/540308923753168896

Agreed. He's always been my #1 choice as well, but so far I haven't heard his name mentioned much. His offensive philosophy (old school, power football) would fit in just perfect at NU. He'd recruit great out of California as well.
