Red Five

Well "some" of the  Nebraska fans are about to get a "case study" of what happens when a coach is fired before 2 seasons are over...

I'm really starting to dislike college football...

Fans/schools want quick turn-arounds, but don't want to pay the athletes.  The NFL takes at least three years of perfect drafts and free agency (and a lot of luck) to turn a team around.  How is a coach supposed to do that in college?  A sport that depends on relationships in recruiting and building traditions on the field?  Riley got fired because he was "ruining" the few positives left by Pelini; plain and simple.  The program didn't need "turned around"....YET.
