Chryst ahead of Riley is laughable. Pitt before Chryst 2008 9-4 2009 10-3 2010 8-5 2011 6-7 Pitt with Chryst 2012 7-6 2013 6-7 2014 6-7

Huh? Who retweeted and who did KB tweet at? Morrow? Love?

I do to, but it'd be awfully tough to turn down an offer from one top 2 teams in the country. I try hard never to screw up too/to and your/you're. I failed myself.

http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2015/01/top_te_target_chris_clark_talk.html And Marrow ended up staying at UK. So, let me get this straight. Morrow, talked to this kid over Twitter while he is still employed at Kentucky and talked to him about possibly going to Michigan if he goes there to coach. So, recruiting for Michigan while employed at Kentucky. If true, this guy is the slime ball I thought he was. Just got a raise and a 3 year extension from Kentucky so........That's fine. That's how coaches get raises. But, you contact recruits for your next job while you are still employed and getting paid by your current job?That's slime ball right there. Didn't he do the same thing when he didn't get offered a full time position at Nebraska? Ditching one our lame duck coaches for Marrow a few years ago would have resulted in much more depth on our roster He also told a couple kids to stick with NU. And come to think of it, off thread topic sorry, but what does this mean for Love and Hart? That he'll be at UK with them?

six to midnight

Some of the staff is joining him, but I don't know how many. A friend of mine was a Offensive GA at Mizzou for the past three years and was named the Special Teams Coordinator and TE Coach at Missouri State. GAs make sense.

Mizzou just lost their DC though and I believe he is planning bringing a large portion, if not all, of his staff to his next location. Would leave me to believe they are in a similar boat as NU and need to establish new relationships. Mizzou's DC is going down a level to be a HC at Missouri State. I can't beleive that most of the D assistants would voluntarily follow him there.

Hmmm.... So he's staying?

Vince Marrow, ladies and gentlemen! http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2015/01/top_te_target_chris_clark_talk.html And Marrow ended up staying at UK.

Totally forgot the Lupoi was in some NCAA hot water last year (ended up being cleared) and wasn't hired by anyone as a full time coach. I wonder why we have not heard his name for another job this year? Seems someone would take a run at him?

LBs will improve because they actually have a D-1 coach. I also expect to see our TO margin improve. It's amazing we won as many games as we did with our TO margin the last few years.

Illegitimate son?

He was rumored to be following Harbaugh to Michigan.

I think we can all agree on the above!

It's not that we had a chance, many wanted the new HC hiring to be a "WOW", not a "meh"... This. A hire that had people talking about the bold move or move towards getting NU back. Not a quick check of Wikipedia, not hearing how nice he is etc.... When Callahan was hired, I was livid, because I knew, after seeing what he'd done to my Raiders, he'd hurt the program. Bo was hired, almost everyone was excited because he'd been here before, and he wasn't Clownahan. Now they hire Riley, who most of us, when he was hired almost immediately said, "who?"... This almost seems like a hire that was based on the fact that they didn't know who else they could get, so they got Riley. And if this guy falls flat on his ass, which I hope he doesn't, everyone can say "at least he was nicer than Bo"... That's what I wonder. How did Reilly even get on the radar. Was it another, sh!t, we fired a guy and my short list all said no? ADSE had him on a list from 2005 when he was at South Carolina and they were looking for a coach. Where do people get this crap that "everyone turned us down so we ended up with Riley"? He was SE's #1 target. Do you think SE could have named a coach in 4 days if he was being turned down left and right? http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/12009292/behind-scenes-quiet-search-brought-mike-riley-nebraska-cornhuskers I have no idea what you're arguing against. It was asked where ADSE came up with Riley. I responeded with exactly what you quoted. So I guess we agree. Sorry. Probably shouldn't have quoted your post as my response wasn't meant for you.

I love that this is what recruiting has come to.

Pretty sure we can call/text/tweet/facebook him now, the dead period just prohibits in person contact and limits phone calls IIRC.

Anyways, all the "wow" hire discussion would have been moot if SE had fired Bo after the 2013 Iowa game. Then we would have got Chris Peterson and and everyone would have been happy (at least thats what my mind tells me).

Many here wanted McElwain so I'd say he was higher on our collective list. Sark was a bigger name available. Pretty sure most here would have preferred Narduzzi so yes to him. Frost definitely but SE wasn't interested. We should have at least checked with Patterson. So hiring CSU's coach or MSU's DC would have been a wow because they were mentioned on HB? Did Sark ever win more than 8 games at UW? I think most would have considered Narduzzi a wow hire. Pretty much the biggest-name coordinator. He went to Pitt so surely he would have come here if we offered. McElwain isn't really a wow but was high on a lot of people's lists. Sark was 5-7 his first year followed by three 7-6 years and was 9-4 his last year. But, you know, he didn't have as many resources there. If we had hired Narduzzi people would be pissed off that we hired another coordinator who had never been a HC and would be "learning on the job". Picking nits, Sark was 8-4 his last year at UW. He didn't coach the bowl game...

Did Sark ever win more than 8 games at UW? But some of us are wrong for feeling apathetic about the newly frocked HC who's best is 10 wins and a victory in the Sun Bowl??? You have every right to feel apathetic. Hell, this program has turned many apathetic over the past 15 years. I just don't understand the whole "wow" hire thing. I want the "right" hire, not the "wow" hire. Is Riley that guy? I don't know, but time will tell.

Harry Phillips just recorded a TFL. Just sayin...
