knapplc Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Aaron Taylor @outland1997 Gut feeling that Mike Riley will be the Tim Miles for our football program. Congrats coach and welcome to the program. Tom Lemming @LemmingReport Only time will tell but my guess is Mike Riley will bring Nebraska back to national prominence. Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan Another interesting tidbit about Mike Riley is he opened all practices at Oregon State to media and fans. Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan Also the fact USC courted him in 2011, and Alabama offered him their job in 2002 intrigues me on what drew him to make this move now? Jack Gangwish @jackgangwish Starting to feel like my life is dictated completely through email. The attached pic with Gangwish's tweet: Damon Benning @damonbenning Amongst his peers, Mike Riley finished 2nd in an ESPN poll behind Cutcliffe as the most underrated coach in the country. Tommie Frazier @TouchdownTommie Good Hire by NU today. George Schroeder @GeorgeSchroeder · Just landed to news of Mike Riley to Nebraska. Truly stunning — but that is a GREAT hire. Scott Shanle @scottshanle After hearing from many people who know Mike Riley personally I am optimistic about the future of @Huskers football. Dan Hoppen @danhoppen Mike Riley was heavily rumored to replace Pete Carroll at USC in 2010, Dennis Franchione at Alabama in 2002. He must like NU’s prospects. Mike Farrell @rivalsmike I may be in the minority here but I like the Riley hire for #Huskers better than the McElwain hire for #Gators. Thoughts? Zach Hannon @_HannonZach72 I stand behind you @Coach_Riley ! I love Coach Bo and all my coaches, now it's a new era. I'm a husker through and through. #GBR Jay Glazer @JayGlazer "@CFBONFOX: NEWS: #Nebraska hires Oregon State's Mike Riley to replace Bo Pelini>>Good for Riley, one of the nicest guys I ever met in NFL Mark McMillian @MarkMcMillian29 If Mike Riley offered my son or any kid I coach I would send them in a heartbeat this man is all about the kids & families #GBR #Nebraska Rich Kaipust @RKaipustOWH I liked this poll back in September because it was a vote of coaching peers -- and Mike Riley scored high on it http://es.pn/1Dc1ACC Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Remember this when viewing Riley's record at OSU. MT @Hlas Oregon State had 28 straight losing football seasons, from '71 thru '98. Jay Foreman @foreman5655 A few things that will be different:player development and pro off!! That alone I'm cool with! Chips in!#HuskerNation Greg Sharpe @SharpeGreg Excited to meet and work with @Coach_Riley can't wait to begin the next chapter of Husker Football. GBR! Brock Huard @BrockESPN No one in CFB I'd trust more with my son in his program than new NEB Coach Mike Riley. Judge this hire after you see the staff he assembles John Bishop @JohnBishop71 #Huskers could double Riley's OSU salary and still be on budget with last year. Look for assistant salary pool to be strong. B. Reilly @brandonreilly01 Idk why everyone's being so negative, give the guy a chance. I mean he has a solid last name that should count for something. Let's get it! Jon Nyatawa @JonNyatawa “He has done more with less at Oregon St than almost any coach I know" -- former NU AD Bill Byrne Jeremy Crabtree @jeremycrabtree #Pac12 assistant on Mike Riley: “Our recruiting jobs just got a lot easier. He was the best talent evaluator in the conference by far.” MORE HERE 1 Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm beginning to think that HuskerBoard.com does not reflect society at large. We are more entertaining but far less grounded. 1 Quote Link to comment
Blackdeuce Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It's great to see some positive responses. I look forward to seeing the staff that he assembles. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Like this @jeremycrabtree: #Pac12 assistant on Mike Riley: Our recruiting jobs just got a lot easier. He was the best talent evaluator in the conference by far. Heck yeah. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The more I read about him, the more I am open to this hire. He seems like he is very well thought of through the coaching ranks and media. I will be interested to see who he brings in as assistants. Quote Link to comment
