Riley could resurrect Bob Devany on the 50 yard line against Iowa and he’s still getting fired in 14 days.

I disagree. we may new the SE wasn't fostering a good environment for coaches to be their best, but I doubt anybody outside of North Stadium knew that it was to this extent. Getting these details for me as a fan helps me understand why things have been so toxic since SE came in. It's one thing to get the vibe that things just aren't working but when you hear that they spent 100k to bring in people to teach our coaches how to implement a defensive philosophy that they don't agree with is mind bogglingly reckless as an athletic director.

I think it's less of a commentary on the current state of our Defense/Team and more on how out of whack the management was from the top. If true, an AD that micromanages so much as to dictate what style of tackling our coaches implement is insane.

That would contradict Benning's side of the story then if true.

Man it seems like people are missing the bigger story here. Our coaches were being forced by people above HCMR on how and what to coach, even though the coaches themselves hadn't bought into it. The chain of command was in complete disarray. How can we expect the players to buy in to philosophy when our own coaches were against it?

To be fair, you could go through these boards 2 years ago and people would say the same about RIley

Is there a way to tag people after posts like this to just ignore everything they say in future threads?

From what I have heard he didn't actually make the Chip Kelly hire. Not 100% on this though.

Nebraska fans refuse to learn from their past hype train derailments. Scott Frost is not the one and only option for Nebraska, and as you build it up as the only option that will make you happy you are setting yourself for disappointment. Let the process play out, and pump the brakes on this "Frost is the next TO" stuff. It just makes us look bad.

If we lose to Rutgers, we are looking at the worst season since 1957, when we went 1-9. Not only will Riley be fired, he will be locked out of he stadium once the clock ticks 00:00.

True, it sucks to watch everybody build and innovate and we keep plummeting into complete irrelevance. Really hopping a new staff and turn things around.

I'm not saying that the power run game can't make a comeback but TG, it's a different time man. I just had a post about this but we had the secret sauce when it come to strength and conditioning for a very long time. It let us transform farm boys into juggernaughts for a long time, and it was so above and beyond what everybody else was doing, it led to a ton of success. Now that science, health and tech has transformed sports, you can't expect us to just turn to the run and have it be as successful as it was in the 90's.

I don't really care about Nebraska ties anymore. Things had changed since the 90's. Our strength and conditioning in the 90's and earlier were so above and beyond the rest of the country we could take Nebraska farm boys and turn them into blocking powerhouses. It's different now. Nebraska ties would be a small cherry no top. I want a proven coach, and I want to shell out an insane amount of money for him. I want a proven winner. I know people LOVE to think about Frost, but we need consistency and a proven record. Scott hasn't had a chance to prove those things yet, not because he is incapable, but because he hasn't had enough time. I feel so much better today.

You keep saying we have a history of knee jerk reactions but if you look at the top 25 programs they average about 2.5 coaches in the last 7 years. Most programs don't have the same coach for 20 years like Nebraska pre - 1997. This is the new college football landscape. Need to be quick to adapt and prove results if you want to survive.

Brain fart? They hiked the ball before he got set. That's not his fault. Shouldn't have called a play with lots of motion in the first place. The blame is on Lee and Langsdorf.

I didn't listen to the post game presser, but I'm assuming nobody asked coach "they were gashing you with the screens all night, why did you continue to play so far off the ball?" Not looking forward to next week. Anybody that says we kept it vanilla on defense to mask our game plan for the Ducks, needs to take off the red tinted glasses because we almost pissed this game away. I love Riley, but I also don't want to hang on to a losing coach for too long because he's a nice guy.

Any reason we haven't gotten an LoT yet?

Folks that have no nuance in their thinking see this and are offended for our troops. The identity of this country, the flag and our anthem extends far beyond our troops. True Patriots aren't afraid to express their dissatisfaction instead of blind loyalty. So whatever reason these players did this, it's well within their right, and it doesn't make them any less patriotic.

Word is that Power Mizzou is reporting that they are no longer visiting Missouri.

There were three names on SE's list. Riley was one of them and Frost was not. This was the first and only offer to go out for a HC. He got the man he wanted, people need to start dealing with this.

Frost isn't coming guys, I'm sorry but its the truth. I LOVE that we have a legit shot at coach O though. Yes please!

Can i just end the speculation in this thread before it gets silly and say, Scott Frost will not be coming to Nebraska in any way during this coaching change.
