All of you people want to wait three or four years to figure this guy out, look at his last 17 years the head coach. I'm sorry but the man has been nothing but a dismal failure his whole head coaching career. How anybody thinks after the play calling skills in the last five games we will eventually see better results from this so-called experienced coach is soft in the head. The only experience this guy has is losing, and till Nebraska gets rid of him and Eikhorst we should just get used to losing.

The loss to IL yesterday is just business as usual for Mike Riley. I am sorry what did everybody expect was going to happen with this program with his hiring? His first year at San Diego he was 8-8 and the next two years he went 1-15 and 5-11. After being fired he went to Oregon St. and out of 14 years he had only 8 winning seasons, last year going only 5-7. Somehow Shawn Eichorst thought if we uproot the guy who can't win anywhere else, spread some pixy dust and unicorn farts around, he is going to make us a powerhouse team again. I have tried to stay positive and overlook his past coaching career and hope for the best. Unfortunately Husker Nation is finding out the hard way that moving this guy and his assistants 1400 miles didn't do a damn thing for his coaching ability. I won't sit here and say that Bo was going to ever advance this program more then what he had, but if you are going to fire him at least replace him with somebody who is not a total failure as a coach. The Cornhusker Athletic Dept. is one of if not the wealthiest in the nation. Why can't we spend the money and get somebody worth a damn who will bring us back to our glory days. I know that did not work out real well in 2004, but we had an athletic director problem then also. By looking at Eichorst's investment in Mike Riley, I'm not too sure we don't have the same problem today. With the money Nebraska has and the right leadership at athletic director, there is no reason why we should't be a top 25 team each and every year. To sum it up Mike Riley, his crew, and Shawn Eichorst need to go ASAP, till that happens buckle up Husker Nation we are in for some hard times. Big Red till I'm dead
