drmathprog Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Not sure if this is valid, but I heard the list was 1. Riley 2. Navy's OC 3. Barry Alvarez 4. Bryant Gumbel Glad he went with Riley Wait a minute! I don't know who Navy's OC is at the moment, but my loyalties tell me he is BY DEFINITION a fabulous coach! 1 Quote Link to comment
Paul in WI Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Perlman is a liar.......i don't believe him.......once BB turned us down, they dropped way down the list so we wouldn't be shunned twice...we got a 5-7 coach no one else wanted. That doesn't even make sense. First, hasn't everyone with personal knowledge of the situation said that NO OFFER was made to that fat hog Bienema? Also, if, hypothetically speaking, Bienema was Eichorst's top target, then why would he go with a coach that was pretty much the antithesis of that fat slobbering underhanded Arkansas Hog? Is there anyone more opposite to Bret (fat f'ing hog) Bienema than Mike Riley? It seems like if Bret had been offered and refused, then we would have ended up with some slightly less successful version of him. Instead, we signed Mike Riley who everyone pretty much agrees is a decent guy who runs a clean program. I don't think our administrators at UNL are liars just because we didn't sign some coach who you seemingly have a weird sort of man-crush fat fetish on. Deal with it. But how do you feel about it, Nuance? 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I love it when people call for Perlman's head for how the football team is doing. Like that's the most important thing about his job. Believe it or not, the football team is not the most important thing at the University. 2 Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I know Riley was up for big time jobs when Bama and SC weren't good, but does anyone know of any jobs in recent years at Power Five schools that he was considered or rumoured to be a candidate? Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I love the hire. I hope Perlman is telling the truth. If Eichorst offered BB, I just lost a tremendous amount of respect for him. Quote Link to comment
Razor husker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Sad thing Nebraska has now offered 2 arkansas coaches jobs and they both turned it down Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 An official offer and a "Would you be interested" are different things. I guarantee you that SE reached out to Bielma to ask if there was interest.. He found out BB's price tag and realized it wasnt worth it. When it came to an official offer, i assumed that was only given to the one person who agreed to the principle of a "soft offer" That is normal. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 @Harvey_Perlman: To all you doubters. You don't hire a coach (Bielema) who just moved a year ago. If he came could you be confident he'd stay? YOLO Quote Link to comment

shyndy Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Mike Riley was Eichorst's #1. http://journalstar.com/news/local/education/perlman-no-other-offers-made/article_5198a6ba-b968-518d-aec7-354a67b45b27.html University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman said Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst had a list of "potential candidates" for the opening, like any athletic director would. "They do due diligence on a bunch of them as time goes on so they are prepared to act when it's necessary," Perlman said. "In these situations you don't have much time." Riley, who has coached Oregon State for 12 years, was the only coach offered the job, Perlman said. "There were no other offers made," he added, disputing national media reports that Arkansas coach Bret Bielema was offered the NU job on Wednesday. Perlman said he kept regents informed during the coaching search via email. Surprised there isn't some twitter outrage from the regents on this. Quote Link to comment

Hujan Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I don't believe Bielema was offered. It doesn't make you'd replace a polarizing figure like Bo with someone who shares many of the same character flaws. I've always regarded Bielema as a classless POS and wouldn't doubt it if he floated that to try and stick it to DONU. Quote Link to comment
