I was thinking the same thing. Maybe I should go to the Penn State site and start stirring up things. Plenty of stuff that could be brought up there. I'm sorry I'm tired of programs in this conference accepting bullsh#t mediocrity. Coaches are the number one reason why we are behind other conferences, yet certain teams like to either hang on to conservative coaches hanging on to play books from the 80s or hire crap coaches that no other major P5 team would have even considered. I want to play against the best so we can be the best. I don't know wtf happened to Nebraska fans to make them accept this crap, but these are not the Nebraska fans I know. The Nebraska fans I know would be demanding excellence. Not rolling over and going "Oh well" I have to admit that I was crapping bricks when I first heard the news about Mike Riley, but at that time, I knew nothing about him other than his win-loss record for the past few years. After reading up about the man, I'm optimistic. I'll give SE the benefit of the doubt and assume that he knows what he's doing. I'm not accepting "crap" by thinking that this might be a good hire. I've seen several "splash hires" go to other schools and fail miserably. I don't think a fan base that is unhappy with 9-3 seasons is one that accepts mediocrity. We do demand excellence. 9-3 doesn't sound bad, but there was no indication that it was ever going to be any better. You can't win championships every year, but it's nice to have a good shot and win a few. He hasn't shown what it takes to do better than what Bo did

The Nebraska fans I know would be demanding excellence. Not rolling over and going "Oh well" bullsh#t mediocrity, like say, going 6-6 this year. And losing to Northwestern. And Illinois. And probably the worst Michigan team in half a century. You mean bullsh#t mediocrity like that? Your credibility is mighty thin, sir. Good day! I'm sure when Nick Saban went 6-6 in his first year at Alabama and lost to ULM it meant they weren't trying either.

Given the uniform support for Mike Riley from across the college football community, this would make us look like the stupidest rubes on Earth. June Jones was uniformly respected too... Also other coaches aren't going to put down Riley because he's a good guy. ESPN is monetarily invested in seeing the B1G fail. Of course people are saying good things about him.

Thanks man. It's going to take some time and hard work, but we will get there. My only concern is our offensive staff, but our DC is a genius.

I don't understand I guess. It's like voluntarily asking for crippling sanctions.

Something so incredibly idiotic that it was almost beyond comprehension. "Hey, Pearlman, you need to fire your AD and the brand new coach he just hired because a message board doesnt like it and we want you to go hire a coach who didnt have any interest in this role" Arizona State has performed better because they did that.

Uh. If it's so easy, why don't unranked crappy schools rattle off upset wins all the time? Oregon State did it a bit too consistently to be considered a fluke... Little bit more to that soup than just broth if ya get what I'm sayin'. 8 top 25 wins in the past 8 years? They were known as giant killers for a reason. Indiana beat Missouri... Should you hire Kevin Wilson? Florida best Georgia, how about Muschamp? There's a reason on any given Saturday a team can win. Mike Riley had some upsets. That's fine. What the sunshine pumpers fail to discuss is what about losing to FCS Eastern Washington last year? Or FCS Sacramento State the year before? He even struggled against Portland State this year. The point being that Mike Riley is not an improvement over Bo. At BEST you're going to see the same results. More likely you're going to be 7-5 with a few upsets and a few horrendous losses.

Auburn hired Chisik after a horrible record at ISU didnt they? Then he won an NC. Was Malzhan a big hire? I dont remember on himMalzahn was the OC at Auburn when they won the NC. He left right after that and they progressively got much worse. He gets hired as head coach and they immediately became much better.So, what you are saying is that coordinators are just as important if not more important than the head coach? Why don't you just sit back and relax for a while until the staff is announced. Hasn't it been said he's probably bringing his awful DC?

Exactly this. This hire is pretty much ensuring embarrassing results for the conference. Edited, we're not going to be bringing up this crap again-BRI If this is your attitude then you guys deserve the losing records you're about to get.

All I see is "he's such a nice guy" and "he's such a great guy" If that's what you want, then congrats because you have a Ty Willingham and Brady Hoke redux

Everyone said Ty Willingham was a great hire because he was such a nice guy too. We beat Oregon State 45-14 a few years ago. If you think the B1G teams are scared of playing him, then you're kidding yourself. And this year you lost to Northwestern and Illinois... We are making the effort to become much better. Nebraska is not making the effort to become better with this hire.

This attitude just doesn't make sense to me. All of the signs are there that this is a horrible hire. Yes he's a nice guy and it would suck to pull his offer, but Shawn Eichorst is the one who put everyone into this mess, not Riley.
