    The Mike Riley Presser

    in Husker Football

    Posted

     

    I wasn't in favor of firing Pelini - still not sure about it. I dislike giving up a sure thing for the greener side of the hill. I wish Bo the best, and frankly think he'll do just fine. He's a good coach.

     

    I also think we'll be fine with Mike Riley. Is he the guy to end our championship drought? I'm dubious - but I am pretty confident that he won't drive us into the ditch. He kept a historically horrendous (seriously OSU pre-Riley = KSU pre-Snyder, this can't be repeated enough) more or less above water for a decade and a half. That's a damned good coaching job, and I'd be stunned if he's a disaster at Nebraska, where there are 5-6 wins built into the schedule pretty much no matter what. Hopefully his overachievement at Oregon State transfers to Lincoln and turns 8-9 win regular seasons into 10-11 win ones.

     

    I see Riley's doubled his Twitter followers overnight. Welcome to the madhouse coach. Good luck.

    I've seen the bold come up a lot recently. I just don't understand it...

     

    What exactly are we giving up?

     

    What is the sure thing? Scraping by mediocre opponents, and getting blown out on national tv? Playing in second rate bowl games?

     

    Where's the ambition at? I'd rather swing and miss trying to hit a home run, then settle for a bunt.

     

    Exactly how I feel. I'd rather try to get somewhere than just hope that what we had could eventually learn.

    Here is what I have figured out.

     

    Mike Reilly was probably going into his last season at OSU, then fired.

    Mike Reilly isn't known as a good recruiter, doesn't like to get out there.

    Mike Reilly is 61 years old, so not really a young whipper-snapper.

    Mike Reilly is a QB guru?

    Mike Reilly is well regarded as a coach and is "nice."

    WHAT HAPPENED?

     

    Give me a couple days, but as of right now I'm pissed.

     

    Definitely not happy about the hire, but I can tell you this is false.

     

    Besides, it's WIDELY reported that Riley is an excellent recruiter.

    Someone please convince me why this isn't a bad hire.

    Edit: RIP my inbox. I feel a little better about it now.

    I'll try. Riley has done yeoman's work in bringing any talent to Corvallis, so he knows how to recruit despite geographic disadvantages. He gets good results despite a talent and resource disadvantage (albeit with a drop-off over the past couple of years). He's widely known to be one of the nicest, most genuine guys in all of college football, which would definitely be a atmosphere change after Bo.

     

    From Reddit. UCLA Fan saying this. I found this very encouraging

     

    I posted this earlier. Unfortunately, no one wants to give Coach Riley enough of a chance to read why he could be big here.
