Mike Riley's Staff

76 in total D, 96 in scoring D, why bring him with?

I'm starting a fire Riley thread

Why, because of a tweet made by a SI reporter. This is typical media BS. It may happen or it may not! Lets see what happens.

If Riley brings the OSU DC to NU as DC, I start a fire Riley thread. SE made it clear that NU has resources. We might as well keep Paps. I also question the judgement of someone that is encouraged to hire the best but chooses to hire homers.

As bad as many of Bo's staff decisions were . i can understand where a first time head coach would surround himself with people he trusts and people who he thinks understand his systems and philosophies.

 

But for the new guy, for a long as he's been in the business and for the supposed open checkbook be has. For him not to go outside his inner circle is probable career suicide.

 

And I hope the suicide is fast. I support Riley with a top staff. With OSU and Husker retreads I want him fired as soon as possible.

I will give him the benefit of thd doubt for now. Would love to see all stars, but these guys know what he wants. Gotta give some trust at this point

Good post, Trostifarian.

 

Bit of an angsty time right now, with rumors and no announcements. That's an interesting perspective on Banker. Per his wiki, his coaching career is a well-traveled one.

 

 

I hope by the time the dust settles, we're going to be able to see a few heavy-hitting recruiters assembled.

he sucks

Let's be a little less ridiculous.

Yes, after over a decade of subpar-at-best coordinators that were kept around because they were buddies of the head coach, I am hoping for different.

That whole apathy thingy is starting to come back... MUST... REMAIN... OPTIMISTIC....

Especially when he has people asking to join his staff.

I'm ok with the position coaches, they seem like great recruiters, but i'm really apprehensive about Banker.

Yes getting the WR coach is huge. As many have stated he coached brandin cooks who went to the saints. Stanley Morgan is from Nola get these two in touch now!

That is the problem right there. Coach Mike said that he wants to surround himself with people smarter than he is, there is a list of DC to pick from. I am really starting to dislike this whole "loyalty" thing with our past 2 coaches, and it seems that I am only going to continue to dislike it with this new staff...

 

 

 

 

REMAIN OPTIMISTIC!!! REMAIN OPTIMISTIC!!! REMAIN OPTIMISTIC!!! REMAIN OPTIMISTIC!!! REMAIN OPTIMISTIC!!! REMAIN OPTIMISTIC!!! REMAIN OPTIMISTIC!!!

The same SI source who said Banker was coming to Nebraska also tweeted, "Who said he was coming as a DC?". Everyone just relax

[SouthLincoln Husker]

I would not be thrilled with Barker, but he was with Riley when they won 2 grey cups. He has a lot of experience and had very little talent at Oregon St. I still go back to Mike's comment at the press conference, saying there would be a mix of current & new coaches. I defiantly would be more happy with Steele.

[HuskerJax]

If he can maintain most of this recruiting class, with the talent on the roster, next year should be ok.

Good lord, this post season is giving me ulcers.

[Redmusky]

I was ok with this hire but hell this looks bad if we keep half osu staff and few of BO's we will be back to the middle of the pack again
