Hate to say it, but I agree. We are what we appear to be. Fired Pelini and a chance to swing for the fences. We get this.....This hire was/is never gonna work. He doesn't have the cache to give any leash to. He needs to win immediately.It's premature but that's how I'm feeling right now. I'm not seeing any improvement from years past, at all.Clean house. This was a sh#t hire anyways. Riley is a great face for the program but will never be relevant. Stop being pussies and buy a big name coach
I'm afraid to say this staff is experienced at losing.U new here? The last staff was dumb, blind, stupid, incompetent, and inexperienced. A high school staff.So that's a wash with the prior staff?Rileys teams have a history of being highly penalized.7 flags in the first half.
Well coached teams usually aren't.

This staff is experienced.
Yet the last staff never started the season 1 and 2.
And you know what? Our sellout streak will not endure another coaching change. This is our coach get ready to accept that.Just not a good team. No real talent and bad recruiting. Going to take many seasons to get back on top. It for sure won't be this coaching staff, that will need to change as well.
Mike Riley's entire career has been lean....These are the lean years gentlemen. Sit back and weather the long winter.
