I dont understand

Seriously? You would abandon everything you know in favor of coaching a scheme you know very little about? People that think coaches are capable of installing new systems is easy obviously have no experiencing coaching.

So why would an AD hire a coach that is going to run the WCO at Nebraska? We tried this with BC and look how that worked out. I think in the BIG this may work out worse than the BC hire.

Probably for all the reasons you don't earn a paycheck to understand. Off the top of my head, it makes the university more marketable to higher end offensive talent looking to get to the next level. The pro-style offensive approach increases the ceiling of obtainable talent. There is a difference between BC and Mike Riley. BC is an NFL guy. Outside of Nebraska, his entire career has resided in the NFL. If success would've been achieved here, he'd have bolted to a HC job in the league. It's exactly the opposite for Mike Riley.

BC's hire was under similar circumstances however, but the level of experience is starkly different. Riley has far more than BC did during his tenure.

What's really weird is who is still starting on the O-Line. Thought Cavanaugh would be good but starting to look bleak. B/c if he is right and there's a pretty big gap between who's starting and the 2nd teamers then I have zero hope for the future of the line. Smfh.

I think I read the same thing you did. He did say that he likes the looks of a couple young guys, won't name names but says they need to keep growing and getting better.

I hate to feed the monster but what if the OL starters are better pass blockers and the 2nd string are better run blockers?

What if our guys ran North and South more instead of East and West? In some instances it works but run someone over. Ask Newby.
