    Riley Says Defensive Plan was Fine, Execution Wasn't

    I will never know how Riley has coached for over 30 years making millions of dollars...

    I will...honestly, in college football there are a lot of schools where you can almost "hide", college baseball is the best for this but CFB is not far behind.

    "Hiding" at a D1 school requires only a few things...

     

    1.  Low expectations to begin with

    2.  Coach can't be HORRIBLE or AWESOME

    3.  Be NICE!  (don't give people a reason to can you)

     

    You do that and you are set at a lot of schools for a long time.  WSU, OSU, Miss St, Ole Miss, Vandy, NW, Purdue, Illinois, Indiana, Utah, Utah State, TT, ISU, KU, KSU, ASU, UA, UConn, UL, GT, UNC, NCST...then every Non-P5 school

    Realistic Coaching Hires with the AD

    I actually think Devaney was a great hire.  I really believe that it was Devaney that finally convinced Riley to fire Banker.  Doesn't make much sense that Riley did it on his own the way it happened.  Devaney probably had a hand in getting rid of Reed to.

     

    So basically I think it took Devaney to finally get Riley to do what he should have been doing on his own but couldn't/wouldn't.  I think there's a spot for a position like that, no matter who the coach is.  Just didn't get things to happen fast enough and the changes that were made haven't improved anything.

    But the fans already have the job of telling the HC what to do!

    Devaney has been on the job, a job no one has ever held at the university before, for less than 2 years.  But some people know what the results should be....

    The results are exactly what they should be...An NFL guy with NFL connections jocking up players that are still in college.  If he was in the NFL it would be the opposite...they would be tearing down players as the draft approached.

    Deveany needs to go, that position is pointless.  

     

    New system, yes I get that but honestly like I have said over and over, it doesn't take that long to get a new system in if you are not trying to make it the most complex thing in the world.  

     

    Recruits leaving...sure that will happen.

    Eh, I don't really agree with that.

     

    Bo's resume was coordinating good defenses with great or even elite talent.

     

    Frost took an 0-12 team that recruits in the 60-70 range, and got them to a bowl in year 1, and now is ranked and murdering teams in year 2. They lead the country in margin of victory.

     

    Let's put it this way. UCF beat Maryland, a Power 5 team, by 4 touchdowns.

     

    Nebraska hasn't beaten a single Power 5 opponent by that kind of margin in 3 years (45-14 vs Illinois in September of 2015).

    Saunders, you have not been listening to the new talk.  Sure Frost took over an 0-12 team BUT it was not REALLY an 0-12 team...it was more like a bowl team that just had some bad luck.

    I think that's a little low.  Brohm at Purdue is making $3.3mm/yr plus bonuses and Brohm has a reasonably close resume to Frost.  I echo the sentiments of alot of board members when I saw that Nebraska can't 'go cheap' with the next football coach hire.  I think if you want to make Frost 'feel the love' you come as close to the comp package that Texas gave Tom Herman which is $5.25mm/yr plus a $250k raise per year with bonuses on top.  Frost's UCF team this year is projecting to mirror Herman's first year Houston team which went 11-1 and played in a New Years 6 bowl.

    Works for me!

    I agree...pay what it will take.

    DB gave his new marriage as a reason he wouldn't come.  Not sure where his wife is from, but she loves Orlando.  Again, he may come, I don't know if money would make a difference.  I just want to lower the expectations, because if he doesn't come people will kill BMAD and I think he will have nothing to do with it.

    Hmm, interesting!

    I listen to Sharp and Benning on a regular basis.  DB has said for years, he is not really sure Scott would come back.  He gave several new reasons the other why he wouldn't.  Loves Orlando, newly married, and I can't remember the rest.  I am not saying he won't, I am saying it is not a slam dunk.  I think it has nothing to do with who the AD is.

    I think one of the bigger reasons was that he wasn't married at the time.  Could you imagine being a young, single, HC of NU?  It would be brutal.

     

    Now that he is married with a family I actually think there is more of a chance he comes back.  Plus...he is signing a winning lotto ticket.  What will it be?  6 years for 19 million?  I mean...he is set for life.

    Had the same thought.  Actually, my first thought was "In 3-4 years Alberts might be ready to take a crack at it" but then I thought Remington might be in front of him in line.

     

    I think Moos is about as close to a win-win situation as you can get.  He really doesn't have anything that needs "fixing" under his direct control - that is, in the athletic department admin side.  Facilities are good.  B1G money is going to be rolling in.  He had plenty of experience to keep things rolling fine on that side.  And he seems like a guy who will hit it off well with boosters to keep them engaged.

     

    He's going to have to fire a football coach but he will get almost no objections to that.  He will have the chance to bring a native son home or (possibly) shoot for the moon to try lure some big name with a blank check.  If he goes the Frost route, he will likely have at least 3--4 years where people will be willing to be patient.  By that time, he'll be close to retirement.

     

    Really the only "tough" thing he'll have to do is evaluate the basketball coach.  If there isn't marked improvement, he probably won't get much push-back if he decided to make a change there, given past results.  If there is improvement, people will quickly get back behind Miles because of his personality.  If he makes a change, he'll again have a least a 3-4 year window where people won't be expecting much from a historically bad program.

     

    Not a lot of down side for Moos for grabbing a quick 33% raise plus incentives.  Not a lot of risk by Brown/Green when they can truly grab a guy who they think is the best "fit" because he's not likely to have to make drastic changes that will be lacking in public support.

    Totally agree...this is a huge win for him and if it works out well he basically has a lifetime pass to come back and still shoot the s#!t at games.

    If you think Scott can turn around this mess in one yr, you are crazy, but what he can do is reverse the trend and get it going in the right direction in yr. one

    What mess?

     

    Beating teams like Purdue, NW, IL, Minny and 2-3 Non-conference chumps.  That is 7 wins right there.

    There are more wins than losses built into the Huskers schedule, Bo proved that, he was a terrible coach with a high school staff and they did it.

    That's just Leach and/or his agent using leverage on his employer to get a better deal. Doesn't matter if anyone is pursuing Leach or not.

    I agree.  I have a feeling he will come out of this with a contract that will extend to about 2027.
