Interesting rumor to say the least. Who knows, maybe this is all a set up for Langsdorf the QB Whisperer to perform his magic. Hyperbole knows no bounds.

This is correct, however Damon Benning is speculating there could be 3 more departures. And there's been whispers of a LB and OT coming in from JUCO and playing this Fall. Sounds like there is still some things in flux in terms of the final Fall roster. i know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a girl who says one will be Not sure if this was serious but I'm good friends with another Husker athlete (non-football player) who hangs out with Stanton. He said a week ago that Stanton is frustrated but not down. Didn't think he was giving much (if any) thought to transferring. How would he feel about a switch to LB'er? He looks more built to be a LB than a QB https://instagram.com/johnnystanton/

I fixed your quote.

I'll say it. These helmets are all abominations.

Brett Favre is in a league all his own, throwing 336 all time interceptions (or 59 more than anyone else in history).

Yeah, I can't wait for Smiling Mike to proffer that to the media. Even Eichorst's propaganda team couldn't spin that turd.

Ryker Fyfe earned a scholarship. It is not Ryker Fyfe's fault that Shawn Eichorst fired Pelini and hired Mike Riley who happens to run a different offensive system.

Jim Delany disagrees with you. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/29/sports/colleges-shift-on-four-year-scholarships-reflects-players-growing-power.html "Earlier this month, the Big Ten announced that it would become the first conference to guarantee its athletic scholarships for four years, a change from the widely followed practice of offering a single-year scholarship that can be renewed. Effective immediately, the Big Ten will ensure that none of its recruited athletes — in any sport — can lose their financial aid because of injury, poor play or coaches’ judgment. Jim Delany, the league’s commissioner, said, “To make a four-year commitment and give student-athletes the security, it’s the right thing to do.”

Ha ha! I think hell would freeze over before that happens. Why? MR didn't put him on scholly. He is going to probably be 5th string.... Because "nice" guys don't pull scholarships awarded to former Nebraska high school walk-ons. Period. If Riley's staff need to trim the roster, then they need to continue to work with LPD to raid the apartments of more players they want to run out of Lincoln.

Bummer, I think. I'm hoping Fyfe isn't on scholarship at the very least. If they pull Fyfe's scholarship, the Riley honeymoon is officially over. At least in Grand Island.

Mike Riley is "a breath of fresh air" Sounds like a commercial tag line for a feminine hygiene product. Or, "from WHYY in Philadelphia, I'm Terry Gross and this is..."

I'd like to think this staff realizes the need to win now, and has recognized that they will need to tailor the offense to maximize the current QB talent on the roster. But based on the QB prospects being recruited, I think it's also safe to say Riley and Langsdorf are looking for dropback pocket passers consistent with their offensive history.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Johnny Stanton in his horsehead and showing everyone his transfer papers at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

No thank you. I don't want Tim Beck's influence back in Lincoln.

We're ready to ride the breath of fresh air to the championships to which we have always been entitled. http://bit.ly/1Nw8jim

You can't be serious, especially in the 2013 game in Lincoln. Tommy was a f*cking turnover machine that day.

The Stanton band wagon has officially crashed into the ditch.

Through these gates...

Speculation or know something? He doesn't know. Frick. After a coaching change, the saying "it's gotta get worse before it gets better" usually holds true. Good riddance. Can we maybe see if he is actually leaving before telling him off? Gosh, with such pleasant fans why wouldnt he want to stay? On the other side of that is a guy sending out these ambiguous tweets that get people speculating. It would be better if he said nothing at all. Interesting. The player wearing the horsehead in your signature deleted his Twitter account a few weeks ago. What do you think that means?

http://dataomaha.com/huskers/player/johnny-stanton I think the Johnny Tebow moniker probably stems from personality more than anything. He seems like the kind of kid who was a BMOC/apple polisher at an Orange County private school, but might be challenged in being seen as a leader of a more diverse set of teammates. I think he'll be the odd man out and looking to transfer after spring ball. Not a lot of FCS scholarship options on the West Coast anymore, though. Maybe if Riley likes him he'll find him a spot somewhere in the Big Sky.

Does anyone think Eichorst started his coaching search after the Iowa game? I figured he was given that assignment when Harvey interviewed him. Probably after the Wisconsin game. Or maybe the Iowa game from the year before. Aha....yeah, that would make even more sense. I probably just wasn't following there. go further back... Perlman and Eichorst definitely wanted to fire Pelini during the Deadspin leak, but the 2 lawyers couldn't figure out a way to fire him for cause (because why did they wait until Wednesday to comment?).

I remember an AD who publicly stated that the reason for a coaching change was a failure to win "games that matter" That should be the standard to which this new staff should be held. The talent is there, let's see them develop a system that makes the best use of it -- not the other way around! They are certainly being paid more than the last staff -- let's see them earn it.
