Mike Riley stays.... why..? Because admin and boosters want Scott Frost and Scott Frost is staying put for right now. Why chase a coach now only to watch the prodigal child slip through our hands in 2-3 years when he does decide to move up. Riley stays... Langsdorf, Cavanaugh and Donte Williams gone.... JMHO!

cavanaugh and his "offensive" line are the main reason Riley will be jobless next month..

It's not the players fault that they are not being coached up and motivated... Cavanaugh and langsdorf on the other hand can kick rocks...... SEE YA' !!!

LOL... change the bar a bit..?? you obviously just want to argue...have a good day...

First, no one over here is "crying" Second, you obviously are not "gambler" a gambler will not continue to make the same bet and expect a different outcome.. The element of risk you speak of is the university paying for an up and coming coach and committing to it for the long haul..

well we can't keep offering 5 yr contracts with extensions and firing after 3... i'll take the gamble that frost will be here long term and willing to give him 5 yrs to bring it around.. if after 4 yrs its not working, that 5th year class wont matter anyways..

offer Frost 5m plus huge achievement bonuses on a 5 year contract.... and let the world know that Frost will be our coach for 5 yrs... rain or shine... period... no talk of firing or extension until that 5th year eval

Or maybe Riley has seen what we all have seen in cavanaugh and is now making the right changes..?

But even when Diaco was NOT blitzing or applying pressure the extra help for the secondary was not effective at all..... so why not blitz and shake it up..??

I think cav is the weak link in this formula. We have talent on the O-line squad but it amazes me sometime when I see guys that don't hold their blocks or are out of position for their assignment. almost looks like practice sometimes. I think the D-line has came a long way in this new system. I think they got winded in the 4th against a relentless wisconsin run attack. Adam C said it best in his gut reaction... "it was like getting beat by your evil twin" the way Nebraska used to tear down opponents with long run drives.

Tanner Lee is not a general on the field, you can't have a pocket passer with a line that can't hold the pocket, no sense in running a zone read play when tanner cant/wont run and to top that all off... most on this team doesnt have the will to fight for a win.

Well if he continues to ride the horse called tanner, I believe it will take him right out of Lincoln.

cavanough's seat should not exist.... If Riley was smart he would be the sacrificial lamb this week and rightfully so...

1) Fire Cavanough...! pay up for a real o-line coach... We haven't had a decent offensive line in years 2) O-line will not be fixed over night and tanner cant or will not move from the pocket.... POB.... 3) This... " "Step 1: Order Diaco to incorporate some press zone coverage and some kind of nickel package. Have the DBs press at the LOS before backing into their assigned zones. This should hopefully disrupt the QBs rythm by delaying the recievers for a half second, and shifting that into a zone coverage will hopefully lead to some confusing reads. Use this scheme as a foundation for blitzes. That is, rush 4 on every play, from random directions, and rush more on occasion (maybe even bring the house every once in a while!). OLB, MLB, S, CB, doesn't matter. Add the LBs showing pressure close to the LOS and some twists by the DL to disrupt the OLs blocking assignments and throw off their pre-snap reads can hopefully get someone to the QB unblocked. Include some rolling coverage to, again, disrupt presnap reads and cover areas left vacant by a DB blitzing from the edge " "

Nebraskans love smash mouth football.... it's what we do... or at least should be doing. And for that we need a well taught offensive line... which we dont. without an o-line, you can have the best west coast QB and he will look horrible, without an o-line the best running back will fail.. I thought the line would improve after cotton but cavanough has proven a bigger disappointment.. spend some money nebraska and get a REAL O-Line coach.

I'm still not sold on Tanner Lee but with that cast of clowns that we call an O-Line, I don't think we have seen his true potential. If Riley is a smart man he would fire Cavanough tomorrow..
