SouthLincoln Husker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Oh no, whats he gonna do his 1st year. Win 9 games and get beat by ranked teams? Wow, really worse than Bo. I agree this is a left field, which makes me wonder what we dont know. He has the talent, but it will take time to establish his offense & defense. On the other hand, the B1G West is not great. 1 Link to comment
craigsker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I just don't understand why the rush to hire someone so fast? Why couldn't the AD take a little more time? I hope I'm wrong, but I think we'll be seeing this again in 3 years. 2 Link to comment

chamrocck Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I was surprised as anyone else. I did like that SE said in his statement that he expects Riley to win BIG championships and compete for national championships. Both plural by the way. That is probably my main concern with Riley is does he know expectations because in the Pac 12 he had the reputation of playing spoiler against some of the consistently higher ranked teams and he pulled it off at times. But now he is the big dog and wondering if he is ready for that? Sure play your spoiler role but you have to win all the rest of the games you are supposed to. I sure hope he is ready to get after it. I'd say he needs to win a BIG championship in next 3 years. Link to comment
Landlord Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 He'll be gone after the first year, so let's start the new coaching search now. In that case he'll last a hell of a lot longer than you likely will on this board. 3 Link to comment
olddominionhusker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 One lingering regret I have is I really really wanted an excuse to wear a sweater vest. I wish Riley would go Hank Stram and start wearing a blazer on the sidelines Link to comment

I hope I'm wrong, but I think we'll be seeing this again in 3 years. I believe the hire was made quickly in order for Riley to begin recruiting as early as possible. Also, we know that Eichorst doesn't speak in public a lot. This gives him time to think and plan. I'm guessing Riley has been on his radar now for quite sometime. Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Wonder what Pelini's first thought was when we announced Riley.this is a completely different thread on its own complete with gifs and all. Start it! Link to comment

SE probably decided after the Wisky debacle that he was going to move now and put the wheels into motion. guys at this level don't make decisions this big without a lot due diligence and making sure things are sealed and done before moving...i'll bet he's been talking to potential hires for weeks.....highly calculated with the firing being step 1 in a plan that was finalized last week.

hskrfan4life Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I didn't like it when I first saw it, but I have to give him a chance. So far so good with what he has said. Link to comment
Redreign22 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Fine, Welcome coach Mike. Go Big Red. Lets hope for some seriously qualified assistants. As for all the insiders here is a little Mark Twain quote- It aint what you don't know that gets you into trouble, Its what you know for sure that just aint so- Link to comment

SouthLincoln Husker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Getting there is a step a head of Bo who has no been able to get there in 7. Link to comment
