Well with Colrado being humbled a bit and Riley knowing how awful Corvalis is, we should have a decent shot here.

I don't think he must be very high on our board, no one has visited him and haven't heard anything about him from any of the insiders.

ND is overly optimistic that they get Graham.

They also think their farts don't stink

Exactly, we aren't going to agree on this.

 

I think it's not over.

You think it's over.

 

End of story.

You must be a witch!

New update says not only are we not out of it but we are top 3 with Ohio st and USC.

Coaches will be in home soon and he will be visiting

 

 

 

 

And there's the difference, he is willing to pubicly throw the old staff under the bus to further his agenda. Where MR has never said a negative thing about the previous staff, even though the same conversation could be had.

The would be a cool story, except Pelini didn't say anything about the former staff. That was an opinion thrown out by the sportswriter.

Hmmm

"All along, Pelini has spoken of the process of changing the programs culture from the previous five-year regime of former head coach Eric Wolford. "

 

Its a work in progress, he said. Its my job and the staffs job to improve the level of consistency, improve the culture, the toughness, the physicality, the effort all the things and details of whats going to allow us to be good, not just over the next four weeks, but over a long period of time.

 

So he is saying the old staff had a no culture of physicality, toughness, or effort...no not throwing them under the bus at all

The part you have in quotes was not spoken by Pelini. And your last sentence is completely wrong. All he said was that it was his job to improve those things. He didn't say they didn't exist. All good coaches are constantly trying to improve everything.

So your stance is the writer saying "All along, Pelini has spoken of the process of changing the programs culture from the previous five-year regime of former head coach Eric Wolford"

And Bo being quoted as saying he has to "improve the culture, the toughness, the physicality, the effort..." Isn't throwing the old staff under the bus? Saying they have to improve them IS saying they weren't good enough under the old staff.

Be rational for once man. I don't care how much you want MR fired. The constant hate naritave, making the same points and blowing up every thread with your nonsense is tiresome.

Where, in his actual quotes, did he throw the previous staff under the bus?

He didn't. That's just what Amac wants to believe.

Seriously don't let your blind hatred of MR and love affair with Bo blind you to the point of stupidity

We have officially reached a new level of rediculous nonsense!

Big gulps huh...welp see you later

 

3) Yeah, it was Eichorst No, nothing concrete. Could have been BS too.

Any rumors at all? I find it pretty interesting in this social media age that I have not seen ANYTHING on it.

 

Another question, and I know this has probably been asked, but is Riley looking at around a 25 player class this year?

Nate clouse said yesterday on 1620 that depending on the amount of guys that early enroll he would expect enough room for high 20's 25-28

 

 

It's just rare for a guy's first HC gig to be at a major program.

 

 

Stoops at OU

Weis at Notre Dame

Malzahn at Auburn

Helfricht at Oregon

Kelly at Oregon

Osborne at Nebraska

Solich at Nebraska

Petersen at Boise

Switzer at OU

Coker at Miami

Muschamp at Florida

Pelini at Nebraska

Shaw at Stanford

Richt at Georgia

O'Brien at Penn State

Bielema at Wisconsin

Swinney at Clemson

Fisher at Florida State

 

These are just the ones off the top of my head

 

 

Also, I've been saying for three years now, the risk of missing out on Scott because we didn't think he was ready yet, is greater than the risk of hiring him with a lack of head coaching experience and having it be bad.

The problem with this list is you have Fisher, Swinney, Bielema, Shaw, Coker, Switzer, Peterson, Solich, Osborne, Kelly, Helfrich and Malzan (basically) that were all at the program and were internal promotions, everyone in the program mind of knew what they were getting.

Then you had 2 schools try to recreate the Belichick magic.

So really there was Richt, Stoops, Muschamp, and Pelini where nobody really knew what they were getting. (But TO had a pretty good idea)

 

 

 

Didn't Banker say he was, and loosely quoting " turn him into a first round pick once I fix his hips" this staff is all talk

That was the strength coach Phillip that said that

But he hadn't worked with Banker yet when he said that. It's understandable that he would have no idea of the damage Banker could do.

I saw that, but does that really affect his visit plans? He's got an official scheduled; may as well use it.

I read we weren't showing much interest and since his teammate (Hamilcar Rashed) committed to Ore St and isn't coming he decided not to.

Sidenote, I was at their game on Friday night, he is a talented kid, no way he could be a RB IMO he is very slightly built but he is shifty and quick as lightning. He will be an awesome slot WR. His teammate Hamilcar Rashed was the best D player on the field, (Garret Rand was on the other D, I wasn't super impressed by him) they were playing him as a 3-4 OLB I actually think he is going to be really good, made me bummed we didn't get him even though he is under the radar.

Doesn't sound like Chase Lucas is coming and he is committing next Monday

 

 

 

You are correct. The talent is not bad. The coaching is horrible. Seventeen starters return. There is no excuse for this. MR says he prepares his game plan in a chair by the fire. Where is the PhD in analytics that is supposed to analyzing tendencies, and doing other high tech stuff. MR is in the stone age.

I've seen this 17 number thrown out there a few times where are you getting it from?

 

Offense

A. Lewis

C. Carter

J. Westercamp

T. Armstrong

A. Janovich

 

Defense

G. McMullen

V. Valentine

M. Collins

J. Bandares

N. Gerry

D. Davie

 

That's only 11 even if you include ST it's 13.

I'm not sure but I would assume that's "17 guys who have started". That would include Sterup and Moore on offense along with Gangwish and Cockrell for sure. Also might be including Rose-Ivey who started two years ago and Kevin Williams (I think he started at least one game). Also Jamal Turner if he started before he got hurt.

Makes sense, seems like a lot of nonsense to include guys who have started even if they have since been beaten out or they started only due to injury.

 

 

 

 

 

In 2004 I posted on Huskerpedia that Pedey was risking two decades of wandering in the wilderness and our program turining into Kansas.

 

11 years later we have nearly arrived...losing to Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, BYU with 10-11 win talent.

 

Either we fire/hire our way out of this NOW, or this program risks irrelevancy forever.

I don't think anyone would argue if you said that we are underachieving. But 10-11 win talent? Really? I would've thought we fell off just a bit, talent wise, from last year's nine win team. And that was before the rash of injuries. Have you looked at this thread lately? LINK

The "fire everyone" crowd doesn't care about facts. "9 wins"!!!@!@?@<>#!@#?! is all they care about. just like their hero Bo.

I care about facts. I care about 9 wins. Apparently you're happy with 3 wins.

If you care about 9 wins you haven't been a fan for very long. When did 9 wins become the barometer for success? Its an arbitrary number that the old staff used as a measuring tool and didn't think they had to worry about their jobs as long as they hit it. 9 wins is irrelevant.

 

 

Why limit this to a single player? It seems several of our better players have had a tough year. Collins? Valentine? Banderas? Lewis? Newby?

A lot of players are having a tough year. Seventeen returning starters, and we are 3-6. It is the coaching. Even Billy C. took the Raiders to the super bowl the first year after Gruden left. It takes major ineptness and ego to screw up like MR and staff have this year.

13 returning starters if you include ST, big difference

Man do you do this as a full time job?

That looks about right. But are there 4 coaches we would actually want? Let me rephrase that, 4 coaches who would WANT to come here? We are inbetween a rock and a hard place.

Exactly my point
