Yummy crow! I'll say this, if he wins out, Riley should get another year.

Riley may very well get fired this year. When you compare value of major football programs (WSJ) to the state's GDP, Nebraska ranks highest (at ~.6%) compared to others such as Texas (.08%), OU (.2%) or Michigan (.3%). There will be pressure from all aspects of Nebraskan, from private, corporate and even government. NU lost approx 17% between 2011 and 2012. If you don't think this didn't play a major factor in estranging Pelini and his firing, you're kidding yourself. This is a money game, bottom line.

The fact that he blames the player for a poorly called game speaks volumes to his character.

Been a lurker long time, made an account, but don't post. This topic is making me: This is absurd. No one would be the HC at Nebraska if we fire Bo. He can still do 10-3, or even 11-2 or 12-2! Calm down. Remember 5-7 twice within a 4 year period? Any given saturday, any team can win, and it's the same in the SEC. You don't see call's for those HC's head when Ole Miss pulls out the fluke... Calm down folks, it's our first year in a new conference playing new schemes week in and week out. Losing sucks, but we're not getting blown out by KU or Texas Tech.
