Yeah he's going to resign and give up millions
Just a guess obviously, but I"m thinking he could pick up one last paycheck and never worry about money at this point.
Maybe he would resign and accept a buyout for less than his full contract?
would you do that? just give up?
-
Perhaps, but disregarding the negative affects of a petition, it at least forces Eichorst from straight up lying. Anyone with a brain could tell he was lying about having 90% positive emails, but there was no way to factually call him out. This is something he can't lie about.There is nothing that will be effective. We have no vote and the sooner you realize that...the better.
He'll just ignore it... but still.
Can you back your lying about his lying up?

Leave the stadium half empty next week.
Yes that will show them.

So we all know that pressure from boosters usually helps to put heat on the administration, but how do we fans (the little guys) let the board know we are not happy? I'm thinking of a social media petition, an organized protest, or something along those lines, but not really sure what is most effective. And the frustration of NU fans goes well beyond just this season.

If Scott Frost wasn't a former Husker almost no one would be talking about him on this board. I don't see what substantiates him as a sincere head coaching candidate at Nebraska other than he "knows the program." His résumé is good enough to get a head coaching spot at a mid-to-lower tier football program at best and that's impossible to debate.
If any of you really want a coach that can take Nebraska to level the fans clearly want then Scott Frost is probably not the right answer as he is a massive gamble.
Riley is a massive gamble, take a number.
An unproven coordinator with zero head coaching experience is a substantially bigger gamble than Mike Riley no matter how you slice it. That's a ridiculous and foolish response.
The original point still stands, as well - if he hadn't gone to Nebraska, almost no one would be talking about him here.
Agreed. I'd much rather see us pursue someone like Pat Fitzgerald - he'd be an excellent fit to lead our program.
I thought you said you wanted a proven winner? what championships has he won? and what makes you think he'll leave the school that he played at.
-
Ok, he strongly suggested Pederson and people like you, who think he's a god, followed his wishes. Pederson was hired because Osborne said so. Just because he was a great coach doesn't mean he's good at choosing/judging other people.
Wrong again.
Which part?
BOOOOMMMMM goes the dynamite.

Nebraska is a ho hum state with crappy weather. The population of the entire state is less than 1.75 million people. There are few 5 star, blue chip in state prospects
With reduced scholarships nation wide, recruits will get more playing time much as freshman and sophomores,
They is reduced tendency for really good out of state blue chip players to come to frozen wastelands of Nebraska
I think we may have to accept we are destined to be about what we currently are
Oh ya, another great first post.

I said this in another thread, but what qualifies Trev Alberts to be AD at Nebraska? And "he played at Nebraska" doesn't count.
The same reason posters want Scott Frost as HC. "He understands NU ways"
-
Is this based on recruiting rankings of the incoming class when they sign?
Or is it based upon the number of guys that are actually still on the team or panned out?
I mean, if they're just including committed classes, is that really an accurate way to do things? We have a lot of guys that were Pelini recruits that never made an impact when Pelini was here, and haven't been impact players in Riley's tenure yet. A bunch of them aren't even on the team anymore.
Obviously though, if we're talking about Riley doing less with more in THIS SEASON then it's only fair to judge him on what he actually has? Or is this just another one of those things we come up with to dump on Mike Riley....?

I mean.....that's a lot of names. Those are all committed players from 2011-2014 that have not really been impactful here at Nebraska. Riley's only been here 10 months.
Are all those let downs Rileys fault too?
Get f'ing' real.
Holy crap! Never knew we lost that many players.

Miami fired Golden mid-season and George O'Leary retired mid-season at UCF. Maybe somebody should drop some hints . . .
Didn't realize Golden was in his first year as HC at MU

June 30, 2016....mark that date down when Perlman finally retires. I'm not sure who his replacement will be, but one would hope he won't take long to get rid of Eichorst and start making the right moves.
Is a new chancellor's first priority really going to be to fire/hire a new AD and football coach?
No!
don't be so sure, their will be boosters and big money guys making appointments to see the new boss.......if not, there are many ways these guys can apply pressure, the last thing a new Chancellor wants is an uprising or an AD on the run and a phone that never stops ringing.

Realistically, Riley will need to a Connor Cook/Matthew Stafford type if we're gonna throw so much. I just don't see that kid coming to Lincoln.Patrick O'Brien doesn't fit that mold? Or is he not coming to Lincoln?
Could be. We've just had too many misfires with the Harrison Becks and even Sam Kellers of the world. I hope he's every bit as good as everyone says he his.
You do realize that Riley didn't recruit any of those so called QB's and not every kid that's signed will work out. you roll the dice.

With time on our side, and the win basically gift wrapped and HANDED to us, we dropped the proverbial ball, again……typical.With three runs plays dialed up that even my nine year old could predict, Wisconsin stuffs the ball back down the Huskers’ throats and forces another punt. I hate to sound like a broken record, but are-you-kidding?!
Ha ha! Last week when Langsdorf tried to be creative with a QB bootleg which went awry Husker fans almost strung him up at the nearest cottonwood. This week he calls three established running plays and Husker fans are again eyeing that cottonwood.
I would think someone named Nuance would be able to see the subtle differences between the two situations.
Somebody put it best last week: They ran the right plays in the in the wrong weeks!
Besides that, it's pretty sad that the coaches let fan reactions to a certain play call affect future play calls. Really? they wouldn't consider a pass at the wnd of the Wiscy game because fans were too upset with the pass against the Illini???
Do you know that's the reason they didn't call a pass? You must have some great insights. It's easy to sit here five days later second guessing the play calls, and spitballing about what they should have called instead. You remind me of a poster a few years back who said: "Why don't they just call plays that work?"
99.5% chance of winning that game. All they have to do is run the clock down. Easy. Illinois has no timeouts remaining. They could've taken a knee. And they call a play from the playbook which includes an option to pass. But they somehow supposedly communicated (smoke signals??) to Tommy that the pass option was off the table for this one time special case. And you're defending this idiocy?
In the Wiscy game, it's completely different. They know they need a first down to ice the game or give Wiscy the ball back with over a minute to play. They didn't even try for a 1st down. They did what they SHOULD have done the previous week (in a completely different situation.) They didn't need to pass, but three straight up the gut is pretty much guaranteed NOT to get a 1st down against Wiscy.
I can't believe I even need to explain this crap. 13 year old kids playing Madden would've called the correct plays in BOTH situations 99% of the time.
Are you a 13 year old who plays Madden? That certainly would explain your behavior. The way you prance around the board taking victory laps after our losses, relishing in our misery.
Ha LOL

I just checked...sacks through 6 games this year...13
Sacks through 6 games last year...12
That surprised me. with the loss of RG and the butt load of injury's we've had I expected to be behind last years sacks.

I love how fans enjoy spending other people's money.
Yep, just happened last December.
well no worry's, it will be a couple more years before we decide to do it again.
-
Like anyone would ever want to come here if we fire a guy after one season...
I hope you're being sarcastic. You show a guy enough $$$ and he could care less how long the last coach lasted.
Good luck selling to recruits and assistant coaches.
1 year firing does not happen.
I love how fans enjoy spending other people's money.

Steve Sarkisan. He's looking for work
He'd make a good OC. Better than Langsdoofus.
Great let's hire a drunk. I don't think he'll be looking for a job anytime soon. he needs to get himself taking care of.
plus, no one will be fired or let go.

Sorry, but I refuse to accept mediocrity. If that's being "selfish" or "pathetic" so be it.
Pathetic, Yes

I do think some comments and the people who offer them on this board (I don't know what is written elsewhere as I don't take the time but presumably there is a similar tone and content as this board exhibits) are fair or right and could be accurately described as shameful. I am not ashamed of our team or program or the coaches or administration.
I do, however, understand the strong questioning of how or why we selected Riley to be the future of the program. We needed as a Head Coach at Nebraska someone that has the following capabilities:
1. A great X & Os guy.
2. A person of great, demonstrated personal character for honesty, integrity, sincerity, intelligence, well spoken, with a desire to be the coach at Nebraska as a long term career.
3. A coach with considerable experience (at least 10 years IMO) as a head coach of a program of significance with large budgets, of a D-1 level program.
4. A coach with experience as a former player who can relate to the work, effort, trials and tribulations of being a collegiate and or pro athlete in today's world.
5. A coach with a national reputation and well known to most of the college football world.
6. A good judge of character who can relate to today's youth and be a good role model and leader of them (this is not easy certainly).
7. A person with extra thick skin who can handle criticism and responds well to challenges and believes fervently in his system.
8. Someone who is adaptable and can adjust to the changes that occur over time as things are always in a state of constant change.
9. Someone who will NOT embarrass the University through his personal actions or violate the rules or attempt to cover up the same.
The question is: How many of these basic descriptors do you feel Riley fits? Can we find someone who fits better?
I thiink Riley somewhat fits numbers 1, 3, 4, 6 (maybe?), and 7, and 9. I think he falls short of meeting 2, 5 and 8 and again 6 is ify at best.

So you define success as being fired as the HC at NU. nice. if they were so successful they would still be coaching at NU
Yeah, it's not like Nebraska has a history of 1st time head coaches having success:
Another first time head coach, brilliant!!!I've been saying it all along. Scott Frost is your answer!
Tom Osborne - 255-49-3 (.836) 1 of only two head coaches in D1 CFB history to never win fewer than 9 games per season
Frank Solich - 58-19 (.753) Never had a losing season
Bo Pelini - 67-27 (.713) The only other head coach in D1 CFB history to never win fewer than 9 games per season
I don't recall Dr. Tom being fired as HC. Now, he was pushed out as AD, not head coach.
I digress, I guess I'd take any of those 3 over what we currently have.
Sorry I should of said FS and BP.

So, winning over 70% of your games isn't successful? I guess you've never heard of Harvey Perlman or Steve Pederson? Nebraska is the only school in history to fire a 9 win coach without any losing seasons. In fact, they've done it twice!
and yet he got fired. Duh your right I've never herd of them.
What does steve have to do with you coach being sh#t canned.

here is the awesome thing. IF Riley brings in a new staff next year, and that is a huge IF because these are more than Riley's coaches, these are his career long friends from Corvallis, but Nebraska wins another 5-7 games next year and the excuses will be..."well his new assistants need time to recruit and time to get gelled with players and Riley". That buys him another year of excuses.
No new staff will be coming in next year.
