Word around town is Mike Norvell is their top guy https://twitter.com/ajc/status/924424525009350656

Was very very wrong on the other three but basically nailed the last one

Arizona St beats USC Purdue beats us by 14+ Baylor gets their first win of the season over Texas Jim Mcelwain resigns amid off field pressure and losing to Georgia 45-10

California isn't in the 500 mile radius though

I could think of much more depressing hires. I'd be pretty happy to get Campbell. Was one of the guys I wanted after we fired Bo

Iowa-Northwestern double the over and combine for 94 points. Michigan upsets Penn St TCU-Kansas is a one possession game Tennessee ends their touchdown drought after 11 quarters sneaking in a TD before halftime at Alabama Texas beats Oklahoma St

I mean Dabo Swinney was a receivers coach before becoming the head coach at Clemson, Kirby Smart was never a head coach before taking the Georgia job-look at them now, Bob Stoops, Jimbo Fisher, heck even David Shaw at Stanford. There's no perfect formula for finding a great head coach, some guys just have "it". Scott Frost is a guy who has had success everywhere he's been, could he disappoint? Of course, there's a risk with every hire you make, but if I'm the AD I'm willing to bet on the guy who was able to take an 0-12 team to one of the best looking teams in football in just two years. Shaw makes 4.1 million a year and coaches for his alma mater, in a state he grew up in, why on God's green earth would he come here? Unless you're suggesting we go all out and double his salary which would put him over Saban, which I love Shaw and the program he runs but he's not worth Saban money.

Negotiate out of the Big 10 right when the big money starts coming in. Yeah, makes sense

We've struggled against Purdue the last two years with Darrell Hazell and whoever their interim was last year. Looking like we lose another night game on BTN

I mean we even let Callahan finish out the year, so I really wasn't expecting Riley to be let go midseason. Patience grasshopper

Alabama just hired an AD from Arizona this past offseason. Just because our last Athletic Director made a bad hire from that conference doesn't mean we should ignore the conference as a whole.

He'd get my vote....that bowl game against USC was fun to watch

Illinois in 2015 for me. The whole time I couldn't believe what a terrible gameplan they had, and then just the way it ended. I knew for sure after that game that Riley would never work out here

I don't think Nebraska is looking to Larry the Cable Guy when it comes to hiring and firing people. I've been tweeting that we should fire Mike Riley, but when we actually fire him it doesn't mean the Hank Bounds is basing his decision on my feelings. I feel the same way after I thought we were getting Tressel a few years ago and ended up with Riley. I really hope it's not Jeff Long

Texas takes down Oklahoma Kansas St. upsets TCU Georgia Tech beats Miami

This is one of the absolute dumbest things being thrown around on this board. The Luke Fickell situation is completely different he was taking over a program that was going through NCAA allegations. Having a lame duck coach for a full season? That's ludicrous, and would kill a full year of recruiting. Who cares what the schedule looks like, WIsconsin just last year had to play LSU, at Michigan and Ohio St. All they did was go out and make the Big 10 championship.

That's satire right? That has to be satire

2-4. Iowa is going to run all over us, Penn St and Ohio St are going to put up ridiculous numbers. Purdue, Minnesota and Northwestern are toss ups. What's sad is we can easily lose out a lot like Florida's 2013 season under Muschamp where they lost their last 7 games including a loss to Georgia Southern

Hiring Mike Riley was a bad move. Firing Bo wasn't. This has been discussed ad nauseam for the last three seasons

I feel like I got schizophrenia just by reading this. Also Clemson runs the spread and won the championship last year, the first year of the college football playoff had two spread teams in the championship, Auburn made it to the 2013 championship as a spread team, Notre Dame in 2012, Auburn-Oregon in 2011.......

Give the man another contract extension

Why are we still talking about Bo?

Well today I learned that Mike Riley has taken the Kevin Durant route making multiple accounts to say good things about himself. Very hip
