Ziebol, Are you in some way suggesting that Jessica and The Sock Puppet are lovers, and that they are sharing inside information, and posting it to the board?

Jessica, I just want us to get this thing right, that's all I ask...that's all that so many of us ask. I don't want A long time loyal assistant who has no HC experience or a A fired NFL coach who's players wanted to kill him the season before or A mediocre DC and certified nutball or A nice guy in his 60s with barely a .500 record and clear weak talent assessment skills. We are up against a history of incompetence that is staggering. Maybe the better question here, is in spite of all the above, beyond a "feeling", what makes you think we will not bungle this situation like we have done with EVERY previous coach?

I don't know what to think at this point. I was poking around a few different places, and came across some interesting information, none of which is necessarily credible, but appropriate for this area of HB.

Color me jaded... Hate to say it, but I've seen nothing which makes me think we are going to right the ship. the Moos hire has eery shade of the Riley hire, in that it was completely out of left field. For whatever reason, the leadership at our school continuously chooses to make head scratching hires at multiple levels. Instead of making moves to hire individuals that Conventional Wisdom says would have a good chance of succeeding, we make these oddball hires, and then the media machine that is the OWH, LJS, Et al. cranks up, and begins to construct a narrative to convince us all why Coach "X" or AD "Y" was a good hire despite many of us knowing in our gut that something smells. They use buzz words/phrases like "sneaky good hire", "under the radar", etc., etc This is a pattern which repeats itself over, and over, and over. Rinse and repeat. I don't know what to think about this whole coaching situation. I do know that in the absence of any verifiable detail, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, which makes me think that if Riley were going to fired, it would have happened already. I also don't believe that Eichorst was fired SOLELY because of Riley. Eichorst had many issues, Riley was just one of them, and the blowout loss was the straw that broke the Camels back. Whether you want Frost, Campbell, Patterson, Fuentes, whoever your dream candidate is. If Moos truly does intend to hire a new coach, and is playing a figurative Chess game right now, then he made a colossal stupid opening move by Painting himself into a corner and saying no mid season coaching changes. IMO, he should have been decisive, fired Riley, and given his program the one month lead that Florida now has. If I had to guess at this point, I think Riley is retained for another year. Like i said, I expect us to go full "Nebraska", and figure out a way to screw this up. We will either retain Riley, or hire some candidate out of left field that no one saw coming. It will be interesting to see what the narrative is this time...

Hahahaha

This. Move on OP, he's not the right man for the job, and never was. Acceptance.

What do you all think is the more impressive coaching job between what Frost has accomplished in year 2 at UCF vs. what Campbell has accomplished in year 2 at Iowa State?

Savage. lol

Will you offer discounts to Huskerboard members? =)

Yeah, to my way of thinking, this is the million dollar question. Have the leadership of our University gotten to the point where they understand that righting this ship is potentially going to require a serious investment way beyond what we've spent collectively up to this point? If so, and perhaps more importantly, are they comfortable with ACTUALLY doing so? Expecting substantial success from a coach who you are only willing to pay 2-3 million dollars is just not going to work. If they are serious about this thing, then they are going to have to be willing to at least double that figure and possibly go beyond.

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/frost-vacancy-sec-coveted-herman-2017/ This is a good read, and the author makes a good poInt about Frosts' experience on both sides of the ball. If the opportunity is there, and assuming Frost is interested, I really hope we don't let Frost be the one that got away so to speak.

The notion is laughable, and I don't see any remote chance of it happening, but if we do beat Ohio State, it would be classic Riley. At Oregon State, he had this strange pattern of leading a string of clunkers, and bookending it with an inexplocable head scratching win against. Ranked team he had no business beating. He did this at USC's expense several times.

I really hope you're right.

He needs to resign, that's what he needs to do. That will improve things.

Is this guy for real? The D didn't get mauled, really?? Hahahahaha lol

It's hard for me to believe the part about Riley's dismissal being a foregone conclusion, mainly because we haven't hired an AD yet. I can't see the administration hiring an AD with the condition that he dismiss a coach. That just sounds strange, buy maybe not.

Good looking out, I was going to post something about this as well. This joker (Riley), is absolutely clueless. Spewing the garbage he did yesterday is an absolute joke, he is in over his head and needs to gtfo so that we can get a coach who can give our program some actual hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The sooner we jettison this perennially average coach, the better. At at this point, many of us are simply tolerating Grandpa, and counting the days. Also, it would be nice if he released us from our contractual obligation(s) ala Andersen at OSU.

I have only heard it from the individual I referenced in my previous post, someone who works in the University of Nebraska system. I am curious to know if there has been any similar talk/suggestions about Del Conte in the last 24-48 hours, that's why I posted the topic.

True (about this being in the Rumors section). Can any Mod's out there move it for me? Thx.

I'm not sure how far back you go in the Pedia days, but for what it's worth, the individual who told me this is the same individual who told me about the imminent firing on Callahan. If you recall, I posted that to the board about 4 days before TO made the announcement. I had actually known for a couple of days prior to that but went back and forth about whether or not to post anything on it before ultimately deciding to do so. In this instance, I feel like we could all use some good news.

There are rumblings afoot that Chris Del Conte has accepted the AD gig in principle. If this is true; in so far as AD's are concerned, this would be a home run hire. Here is his bio: http://www.gofrogs.com/genrel/delconte_chris00.html Anyone else seeing/hearing talk of this anywhere?
