I was one of the few people on HB, and probly in all of Husker nation, who was *not* in favor of firing Pelini. (Not a popular position to maintain this past month or so.) My biggest fear was that we'd get snubbed by our main target and then sit twisting in the wind for several weeks while our AD approached a laundry list of HC candidates. This is basically what happened the last time we got on the HC hiring carousel. But it didn't happen this time. Eichorst made the announcement posthaste after the last regular season game. Then promptly went out and landed his guy. IN FOUR FREAKING DAYS!! Eichorst got Mike Riley in place so fast that we likely won't miss a beat pulling in the 2015 recruiting class. And I have all confidence that Riley will be able to calm down the rebellious Husker football players, and bring them back into the fold. Instead of setting us back two years (like last time), we're poised to step up to the next level. Way to go Shawn Eichorst! Way to execute when it matters!!
