Yeah, I draw the line at the Colorado loss. That's when bizzaro world started, being in the NC game right after getting your butt handed to you by 30 points. We fired Bohl after that,...member that guy? We really hated him after that game...

Green and Bounds met on Wednesday to discuss, and informed Eichorst Thursday morning.  Maybe they were busy with other things on those days, and couldn't meet until Wednesday to make the official decision.  I also think that waiting until Thursday takes some pressure off this being a "football decision" and a knee-jerk reaction to the NIU loss, even though it's still a football decision.

Excellent point, I hadn't considered that. Still a tough sell that it isn't a football thing.

You try not to fire someone on a Monday, it's always better to do it at the end of the week. The question isn't why not Monday, it's why not Friday. I have to imagine this will be less of a distraction for Riley and the team with a day to process the news.

"We fixed the glitch"

Former AD is out in a field some where punching a printer.

Who would fire him?  Interim AD? I think we let him finish season.

Yeah, that's something I asked in another thread, just what powers this interim guy will have. 

I think this was done with the timetable in mind of giving the new AD at least time to fire the HC if neccessary. I'll be honest I have no idea what is going on, we don't know who the new AD will be, what their expectations are, what their definition of "Competitiveness" is. 

I will say this, firing Riley after only one year with a revamped staff smells a bit of Solich's fire, I would have liked to see the d get another year but I really don't even know what I want anymore, I'll always be a fan though 12-0 or 0-12.

Pretty much just the football coach he might hire. 

 

Let's face it, even if much of the rest of the ath dept is having success it's considered a failure if the football program is struggling.

This is true but I can't help but wonder with all the resources put into the shiny new basketball complex and arena with 1 NCAA Tourney loss to show for it that might have an effect or the previous woman's coach abusing players or whatever got her in trouble. 

knapplc excellent explanaion as I expected but I have two unanswered questions after the press conference:

Why Thursday? Why not Monday? 

Will the interm AD have the power to hire and fire?

Can he bring the OL with him?

If it's up to me? Yes. 

Also, I'm currently unemployed, just wanna throw that out there. 

Any chance we get Alvarez to come back? I know he had dreams of coaching here. Maybe he'd settle for AD?

Football is obviously the bell cow at NU, but you can get a candidate's view on "other sports" and see successes they have had there.

Yes, the 2nd post of the thread talks about 4 coaches other than the FB coach who received honors during the TCU AD's reign. 

Not good at the gif thing but *raises hand*

I had always heard the score but never knew the story behind it. I laughed until I cried, some of this is pretty horrifying considering how the game is played now, but I believe this is totally worth a watch. 

I've been thinking about this, I can't come up with a good over/under. On the one hand with all the angst surely someone will spout something the sock would be interested in even if it's 100% bs. On the other hand I don't see much going down unless SE is fired first. 

Has anybody seen what Bob "Long Pause" Davie is doing at New Mexico? That option is fun to watch. Ran out of the gun instead of the flex like the service academies/GT so you can't key on which way the option is going. Lots of read option built in. 

I'm not saying we should do it here, I'm just saying for all of you option lovers give it a watch if you haven't already.

....I say MR needs to make a bowl game to keep his job.....

Really this is all I wanted out of this season. But apparently that's asking too much. Now we'd have to win 5 conference games just to get to 500 and I don't think we can do it.

I appreciate all the work put into this, but no thanks. 

Polls this early in the season are totally pointless imo. They shouldn't start until about week 5. I know they have to sell early season games like FSU/Alabama with #'s next to their names but preseason and early season polls are dumb. 

I've been sitting on this for about a year now. I've lost sleep over this but I just don't have the time or the guts to take this on.

My idea was to write an open letter to Faux about how the trophy was born of the internet and should stay that way. My idea is that their shouldn't be a physical trophy but a digital one shared between Minnesota and Nebraska fans, or lots of trophies traded back and forth between fans matched up somehow on the internet. It's a broken chair it can't cost that much. 

Have everyone post their creations on social media, get a retweet from Faux himself. The fans and their counterpart from the opposing fan base can meet up at tailgates and talk about what has transpired over the past year and the game to come. People could Photoshop their creations into their man cave, have fun with it the only way you can on the internet. That way both universities are not associated with it and the fans esp. those on the net can still have fun with it. I even created a twitter account to champion the cause, but like I said I just don't have the time, energy or guts to champion such a cause. 

Above 10 wins or below 5 are the only scenarios that would surprise me.

Split the different and went with 8-4

I sent it again through ESPN and then also forwarded you one from my email.

 

Let me know.

I don't know what you did different that time but I'm in.

I sent invites to RunMickeyRun and Branno at the email they have in their profile.  If you want me to send it to a different email, let me know.

 

I also sent invites (again) to the others who said they'd play but haven't signed up yet.

I'm not getting it. The email in my account setup is correct, I checked my spam folder, nada.

Dang it! Diaco will be in the booth. Maybe we will see him standing up and calling plays when ESPN/Fox/BTN does there zoom in on him.

What did he do at ND? Does anybody know?

I prefer my defensive coordinators to be absolute lunatics.

Agree'd you need at least one "yeller" on your staff. 

I'm down. Send me an invite and I'll join if their is still a spot.

Yesterday on Sharpe and Benning, DB mentioned there was a reason behind this when Sharpe made the same observation. DB wouldn't publicly share what or why though. Maybe there is a little bit of bad blood between BD and Kelly?

Those two level headed chill guys? Nah /s

He also didn't say UConn.  He just said the place before I was a HC.  I think bob is just a little weird 

I think the truth is closer to this. He is an interesting character. I Hope he works out at Nebraska not just for our success but because he'll be fun to watch.
