So confirmed Riley will retire then?

We could ask Diaco but the strain would be to much.

Why does this staff have a job.

Why was Kalu moved from CB if they needed help there?

Media people say Frost to UF: Media is fake news and wrong more often then they are right Media people say Frost to NU: The media really knows what they are talking about and are connected with their sources

Not what I wanted to read to start my day. If there is no coaching changes and Frost takes the Florida job or other P5 job then this program deserves to be only relevant in 1990s YouTube football clips.

Sellout streak would end.

Because this is the only exciting topic regarding Nebraska football this year.

Those that seem to only post in this thread to take pot shots at others are hereby welcomed to see yourself out of the thread. There is no need for this. National media are talking about it. Local media are talking about it. Big boosters are talking about it. And us lowly Husker fans on this here board are talking about it. It's going to happen. Either participate constructively or find a different thread in which to spend your time.

Then dont read it. Come back on November 25th and you will have actual information.

I can't stop laughing

Damon Benning’s comments about the inability of the staff to identify talent on their own roster makes so much sense... This is a clown show.

Jones and Kalu at corner and A. Williams and K. Williams at safety made too much sense for this staff. We also have to play L. Jackson at CB because he was highly rated by playing safety in HS. Boe Wilson was the next coming but is now 3rd/4th string. Decker looks 5x better than Conrad, but we only saw that because Conrad got injured. Took 8 games to know that JD might be good if the gets the ball on a jet sweep. It took 2.5 years to know you could throw to a tight end.

@jessica0 and @Red Five - I understand the reason for bringing in the political analogy, however, it's unwise to do so in the football forum. Please refrain from discussing or further referencing politics in this forum. Thanks!

I guess if nothing else, the Gates are open wide for another lineman to come in and outplay him. One thing about being a lineman is that you can't be afraid to jump in there and get Nicked up now and then.

Either way you will have information. Riley is gone that day or he is retained. We will know November 25th. So if this speculation and hope for the future (which by the way, Florida is doing also) pisses you off that much then dont read the thread. Its simple.

Evidence of .500 coaching

I don't think Moos waits regardless. His career and reputation is also being judged. I think MR is fried green tomatoes at the end of the season and we move on - wt or without Scott. If the season plays out at UCF as it has been trending, what else does Scott have to prove there? If he ends up undefeated and not get an invite to the playoffs, he won't ever get an invite at that school. I don't think his goal is to be a career coach at a G5 school. Today is his proving ground to both himself and college football. He will move on at the end of the year - moving while his commodity is the hottest it will ever be and we will move on not wanting our commodity to be any more cold - which would be dead cold.

I don't understand the 'let me finish what I started at UCF' argument. They're undefeated and their ceiling is probably a major bowl bid since most two loss P5 schools would be chosen over UCF for the CFP. I just don't see what unfinished business he'd have left to obtain unless he genuinely enjoyed the city, school, culture, lifestyle and didn't have P5 aspirations.

Kieron could play just as well at Safety, probably better than Kalu is

If Riley remains, without wholesale changes on both sides of the ball, NU football is doomed. I still find it hard to believe Moos would retain the most incompetent coach in NU history. I'm sure he is a great person, very nice and represents NU well, but he's not a winner nor a good coach..... Didnt mention Diaco staying....have seen nothing from Williams to make me thing he is doing a great job developing guys...... Glad he has committed. Welcome to the Huskers, but I'd love to see some 4* OL, DL and LB in this class. Skill positions are great, but we need to be dominant in the trenches...

A firing isn't a firing until it's a firing.

Stop derailing this thread.

It's a 67 page thread. How the hell am I derailing anything.

of this staff..... WHAT !!??

Can you list reasonable reasons for this happening? Do you not see the strain?

Just for the record, that happened last year. I guess, if a different coach does that next year, you will technically be correct that two year(s) ago that happened. 50 posts worth of "I don't think he's coming here because he's a loyal man of his word like Tom Osborne" also, similarly, doesn't make any difference. The only difference is that most of us seem to understand that, and are just having fun speculating because it is fun to speculate about things. You seem to think we're all taking ourselves very seriously - or that you're doing something different than the rest of us, which you're not. Enjoy the ride man. When there's not a lot of real things to be excited about, don't s#!t on people's goofy unrealistic fantasies that aren't really hurting anybody.

Am I reading about our coaching situation or about a bunch of 16 year girls worried about getting asked to a Homecoming dance. It is really hard to tell.

Quite frankly, if Frost doesn't wait until the end of the regular season to decide on what he's doing next, then he's an idiot. Florida has no leverage here - Frost has all the leverage and can make them wait if he wants. No reason for him to jump the gun when there's going to be 4+ offers from major programs waiting for him.

Wrong. He will have his chance to hire a coach. Frost isnt the only coach out there. If he doesnt hire Frost and the next coaches turns it around people will be saying, "Frost who?" I trust Moos. Hes been there done that.

This is all great info, but sometimes I wonder if these guys aren't making these claims because there is a decent chance they'll be right, henchforth be seen as someone with "sources".....

FIFY

I haven't bitched about them skipping a press conference. You must have me confused with others. The less I hear from these coaches the better IMO. I also am not bitching because the gibberish he said may have been interpreted to mean we aren't very good on defense right now. Anybody with two eyes and tickets or a television set can see that. But I will bitch when the DC at Nebraska basically says people should not expect them to be able to do what it takes to win a game, especially when those comments come after playing a lowly Northwestern team. It would be bad enough if said after a game with Ohio State or somebody who is obviously light years ahead of where this program is at currently. But if your system and attitude is such that you can't compete with the bottom teams in your division or conference, then GTFO and make room for somebody who can. It was a stupid, chickensh#t statement that absolved himself of all responsibility and threw the players under the bus for obvious shortcomings of this coaching staff. You bet I'll bitch about it. Every. Time. There wouldn't be a toxic culture to be concerned about if these coaches knew jack sh#t about the game of football. Think about it. They are struggling to compete with the bottom feeders of the B1G West.....and think they have legitimate excuses for that.

If you can't trust message boarders citing Twitter, who can you trust.

in both cases....the first guy having a gun is the problem

Harbaugh did fine with ‘Hokes Guys’ heck even Bo did well with ‘Bill’s Guys’ Hopefully our next coach does just fine with “Mike’s Guys”

This is potentially very good news. But it would add to an already crazy long list of people who have resigned from the Trump administration.

That guys who are expected to put on a bunch of weight don't necessarily have flat abs? Nope, I don't see a problem.

You can only play whose on your schedule, it's what it is. Maryland can't keep a QB healthy, Georgia Tech got wiped in the hurricane, Memphis is pretty good, though. The same could be said of Wisconsin, their schedule is really weak. If only a big time program qualifies for you, not much anybody can do about that in regards to some of these teams.

NW only scored 17 in regulation. The game went to 3 OTs.

If he doesn't flip out at press conferences or have any unseemly audio leaks he'll be fine. Bo could still be here if he didn't say we'd be kissing his happy ass out the door. A lot of Bo's loss of support was off the field stuff. Bo set the floor for on the field performance. (Minus the meltdowns and assaulting refs) Riley set a good example for off the field demeanor, fan and press interactions.

More like a MOOS point!!! Am I right!? anyone?

Fixed it for ya.

He's undefeated in 2017, and Diaco was an "Assistant of the Year" once as well, so.....yeah. Listen, I think Frost is the right hire. He's my #1 guy. But $7 million is too much, and 10 years seems unnecessarily long on a first contract.
