OK, I think we have spoken, Shoot half of memorial stadium cleared out before the end of the second quarter last Saturday. Believe me, this chump is gone

Timmybro.  I hope so.  But that isn’t assured until he is fired now.  What happens if he goes 6-6 and they bring him back.  

I’m old enough where 1 loss was a miserable experience.  Look how we have been trained to accept 4 losses as a good year.  now 6 losses should keep Riley for another year.  Come on guys. We deserve better

sorry  riles gets one more year. unless we  protest with signs  out side the stadium that we want him fired.

That’s my fear.  Unless we scream, make yourself heard.  You will get Nice “Milk Toast” Mike back for another miserable year. You also Probably lose out on Frost if that’s the popular choice.  

I’ll slink back into dark recesses of Husker board now.   I hurt seeing what has happened to our program and hope we get great judgment from our new AD leadership.  It was on my heart to say what I felt and thanks for participating 

I will gladly be Don Quixote and tilt at windmills because I fear what is to come.  If immediate Change is not made it will linger and fester into multiple recruiting cycles.  I respect if you disagree and hey I’ll freely admit if I’m wrong. 

The problem you ned to ask yourself is what if I’m right?? Hoping a problem goes away and ignoring it till later never works.  

For sake of Husker future.  I hope I’m wrong.  

Nebraska, as much as I love them, is a joke in college football.  A meme for people to laugh at, a paper tiger. 

We we will not, cannot get better without a strong accountable leadership guy in charge. 

Our choices are stay with what you have and HOPE it gets better.  But results say that isn’t expected   

You our go with up and coming coach and truly rebuild    

you throw saban type money at David Shaw and pray he makes our team into what it used to be. I know Shaw won’t leave Stanford and I know NU won’t pay ridiculous money but that is what is needed to happen to make us relevant again. 

No you don’t have to rebuild.  This team has talent.  This state and its players have heart.  Strong leadership and a desire to give max effort is what is needed.  And when it doesn’t happen you make immediate change.

You lose credibility saying that. When you say that, you're really saying you don't have the ability to substantiate because if you did, you would have said something other than "trust me". 

 

The fear is Moos is familiar with Riley and may be persuaded. I get that. That's balanced by the firing of the AD, the hiring of a new AD, and the surrounding talk of the football team's woes. Not a high probability you do all of that if you're looking for the status quo. Even in the scenario that Riley could talk his way out, it has to be backed up with results on the field. You, like everyone else, can click my name, see my previous posts, and see why I don't think that's going to happen.

I disagree.  Show me how this team will be better next year?  Show me how the schedule is easier next year than this one.  I have  tangible data (this year) and relational experience with Riley and his record hear and elsewhere of being a 500 coach.  Add the difficulty of next years schedule.  We are in for a long long year 

i respect your opinion just disagree with you

We don't need to do any of that stuff. They can see the scoreboard as easy as we can, they know things aren't working. I don't understand why you think this goes on past this season.

My fear is that this new Ad is familiar with Riley and some even said friends with him.  I fear he will be talked into giving him another year.  Trust me.  This year is a national championship year compared to the brutal schedule next year.  

If if he stays the disease grows and spreads.  Cut it out now.  

You may be right and he gets fired after this season.  But what happens if he stays??  I don’t want to take that chance

In all seriousness, midseason coaching changes generally don't do much. You do see an initial positive bump, but it neutralizes as the season goes on. The net effect will usually be near zero change. 

 

Regardless of what Moos said, or does, you're waiting until next season anyhow. Sorry.

I don’t disagree.  I don’t believe they will do anything at all to change situation, hence being apathetic to the situation.  I fully expect to have another year of this mess.  The only ones who can affect change are the fans.  Scream enough, stop showing up, stop subsidizing mediocrity... These are only tools available to us as fans. 

when is the right time to make a change ?   mediocrity is like a disease.  You have to cut it out and remove it as soon as possible.  Sure you can wait but how bad do we have to be to make that change?   It happens for me when I see a half  empty stadium and when Nebraska is mentioned on MSN as a joke because we let balloons go for an first down.  

I don’t  have all the answers.  I’m just a normal fan who is hurting 

I’m sorry but I’m disappointed that there will be no changes till end of season.  I really hope that is just words and not what Moos really means.  I see at least two more losses and possibly three if we lose to NW or Purdue.  

I am am a fan of 47 years and I am unashamed to tell you right now I’m apathetic on NU.  I love Nebraska with all my heart but something has to change with this staff. The wait and see, we are rebuilding, attitude is BS.  If you do not show progress and grow you are failing.  Right now we are a shell of a team.   No attitude, no passion.  Doesn’t mean I don’t love the kids.  But milk toast leadership with an aw shucks I’m not afraid my job is at risk attitude trickles down to players.  I’m not saying I want Mike Leach but listen to his PC after the game this week.  We were not good enough in any area and I blame myself and the coaches for not getting players ready.  I don’t see Riley being accountable and the kind of coach who you would run thru a brick wall for so that he wasn’t embarrassed 

a change is is needed today.   NOW.  I love Mike as a human being but not as the leader we need going forward.   Thank you for letting me vent

Read it differently sker

sunshine gonna return to grow corn and crystals

frost returns to Nebraska to win championships.  Maybe what I want it to mean though. 

Fyi.  First post just said sunshine.  Until he said middle sunshine I wasn’t sure he meant Frost 

I assume sunshine is frost. But not sure

Plus will hammer drop on Riley after this game?  

Sock.  You lost me.  Who is “sunshine”. Who is the guy returning?

I understand your hesitation.  And understand.  But just hoping he has something interesting to say

Well.  Least he posts interesting information.  Your choice to believe it or not.  

Sock.  Gotta be some rumors floating round on new ad and possibly a new coach.  If we get poleaxed by Ohio State this week (which I unfortunately think will happen) does Riley get fired immediately or will they wait for new AD?   

Sock. Any news from source on Riley getting canned soon or possible replacement? 

Sock.  There has to be some talk going on.  Especially with performance today so far.  Win or lose we are playing bad up till now.  17-14 Rutgers for reference 

I think Sock was right about diaco.  But to be fair.  If he is a vehicle for information.  It's only as good as what is being told to him.  

Me too.  But even his rumors give me HOPE that some action will be taken against Shawn and company.  Plus I miss Sock being around

In order

1. Will regents or chancellor/president fire Shawn "let's hang on to what we got" eichhorst?

2.  Will Riley retire mid year or be fired by Shawn to save his rodent skin?

This is an all points call for Sock puppet.  Need some info on what's gonna happen soon in Lincoln. We need info 

Join NU staff just to clarify

Now that Anderson is coach?
