Welcome, Mike Riley! I think we'll be OK, you guys. He sounds like exactly what we want off the field, and this'll be his chance at the helm of a much better program. Also probably not a long term hire, but the guy we need right now.
Q, why don't you give him a chance before jumping to conclusions. Nobody here is a fortune teller, but we all are Husker fans. I know he not Tressel like most of us wanted but he could end up being just as good or better for us. Give it time.
I think we'll be MUCH BETTER off as a program. Riley is going to heal wounds and represent NU well. If he can win championships, great. If he can't, he'll probably retire and hand off a program in better shape to the next guy.
