Decision is likely already made, don't think there will be an announcement until after the Iowa game.

It's over, let it go man.

Did he tell Rivals that Riley isn't getting fired after visiting this week?

Yeah but it doesn't mean anything. Wouldn't expect the coaches to say anything different until they've officially been let go.

And where is it stated he has to take the highest offer?   I would not offer Urban Meyer or Saban ten years.  Some of you are going to curl up and die if he stays at UCF.  

 

In honesty last nights UCF game was not that impressive.  Not worth 7 million a year or a ten year deal.  

 

And this having a baby deal is way over hyped.   
There are young men all over the world facing grave danger that have wives having babies.  It does show his priorities though.  His immediate family will have a strong word in what happens.

His agent can leverage the current highest offer to get more from another school. These things have nothing to do with "deserve".  Tom Herman got paid over 5 mil per year bc LSU and Texas wanted him. Is he as accomplished as some HCs that get paid less? Of course not. 

Guys UF is going after Frost and so are we, right now.  You don't have to fire your coach publicly to conduct a search.

That same O lineman is usually standing behind the defender that just tackled the RB in the backfield.

King of the lookout block

Decker played pretty well this year, anybody have any doubt he should've started last year? #cav

Only 19 days left no need to get nasty. I'm excited about going in a different direction.

The guy next to him has been allowed to coast as well.

If it is the same OL that has the arms of a kicker then he has been allowed to do this by the coaches. It's pretty clear he put in minimal effort in the weight room since Riley arrived and was not held accountable. Lack of accountability has been a huge problem under Riley.

For the love of Pete just find a way to beat Iowa, Mike. That's your only task from here on out. 

19 days and we'll have our blood. I agree with Vector,  if you fire him now all the speculation and questions become about the coaching search. 

The coaching search is most certainly happening and probably started before Moos even got here.

Development is a bigger issue currently. That said we need more talent too, I think the last two coaches have hamstrung themselves with numbers at certain positions.  Giving out 8 walk on scholarships in fall camp is too many for example.

I did receive a text from a guy in Oregon that hasn't been wrong in quite some time about coaching hires. At least the ones we talk about. 

 

He said that from his source in Oregon that Scott Frost has already agreed to be the coach at NU.

5 years 24 million

"Appears that Frost has accepted this offer. Expect a smooth transition after this season as Riley steps down and Frost takes over"

FWIW

Not that I'm ready to buy it hook, line, and sinker but the numbers look right.

Decision probably has been made but that is more speculation/common sense than a rumor from me.

They don't appear to have told Riley yet as he has continued recruiting and is bringing in players for OVs this weekend.

Brian Kelly led ND to the NC game in year 3. There have been some ups and downs since but Mike has never shown that type of upside.

I sure hope Nebraska has reached out to Frost and talked to him because from what media sources on Twitter are saying there is a real good chance of Frost going to the Gators.

If you are going to jump on every rumor/speculation Twitter spits out, you'll be on a heck of a roller coaster over the next month or so.

Lee's been impressive of late especially considering he's getting such little help. OL stinks, he's under frequent pressure. Non-existent running game at times. WR/TE/RBs drop 4-5 balls a week.

After being skittish early in the year under pressure, he steps up into the pocket or steps away much better now and delivers. His improvement has been one of the few bright spots.

Nebraska can do everything behind the scenes that Florida can regarding a coaching search.

Jimbo Fisher's buyout is almost 40 million dollars. He's not going anywhere this year. 

In fairness, nor should he. He's 80-22 with a NC and a playoff appearance. 

Probably going to be some AC changes which seems fair.

There just isn't much belief that Mike is going to be the guy to turn it around. We haven't seen it here, and we didn't see it at Oregon State.*

Plus he'll be 65 next year, even if he does turn it around what kind of future does Nebraska have with Mike Riley? Vs what kind of future does Nebraska have with Frost or Campbell etc.? Thus the short leash.

*Would like to say Riley had a really good run from 2003-2009 by Oregon State standards. Didn't want to completely diminish his coaching career.

I like us at -6 if Diaco does what he's supposed to do.

I'm not at all confident in that. 

Just now, famoustitles said:

Why TF is land of 10 reaching out to current players parents asking what they’d do if the coach is fired 

literally no good answer to those questions 

Yeah I don't like it either. 

I think Calibraska is drying up if Riley stays.  Nebraska has to do what's best for Nebraska, it won't be held hostage by some 7 on 7 coach.

Will be relatively painless financially to let go of Riley at the end of the year at least.
