Expectations over the next 5 years

[RADAR]

 

 

 

 

 

Win 70%+ of games and graduate good student athletes. Hopefully that includes some 10 to 12 win regular seasons.

 

Run a clean program.

Doing that didnt work well for the last guy. Thankfully Bo's focus on making good students is helping this coach get to a bowl game on 5 wins. Maybe MR should split his $150,000 bonus with Bo since that's the reason we qualify.

They can say what ever they want about why BP was fired, he was fired because of the way he acted on the sideline, towards his bosses, towards the fan base and media. I was fine with his coaching and was very happy with the academic standards he set as a HC, but that type of personality is exhausting. If you have neve worked with or for someone like that you will never know. I have had a boss like that, it was like walking on egg shells all the time. One minute he was great and the next he would blow up about some stupid insignificant thing.

 

If BP would have won 70+% of his games and had that type of academic record and a better additude about things, he would still be at Nebraska. He doesn't have to be the nicest guy in the world, he just needs to not be a big dick.

True, Nick Saban is not the nicest guy in the world, neither is Mark Dantonio with the media, and they do show some displeasure on the sidelines, but it's not the over the top stuff we saw from Bo. I loved the Bo hire eight years ago, and I thought he was doing a good job in the first two or three years. It seems the move to the B1G didn't do so well, but then maybe after three years, that coincided with the less than stellar recruiting. But, how bad were those guys because he won nine games with them and Riley could only eek out 5......help I'm going in circles again.

Harbaugh and Kelly are far worse than Bo. So is Saban if one actually watches their games.

 

Personally, I'd rather see that than the "hands in pockets, stare at the ground and wait for it to be over" stuff that we see from other coaches.

 

Kelly maybe Harbaugh no. Saban meh .I don't think any of these 3 cost their team a game due to tantrums like Bo did his this year. the difference is these guys win games that matter while Bo got his ass kicked repeatedly in the games that mattered and looked like a tool doing it. as for Riley, hes a f'ing zombie on the sideline and what looks to me des little as far as play calls or in game coaching. but there isn't a camera fixed on him like there was on Bo during games so I could be wrong.

 

That was said about Oz for years when he stood on the sideling so if you are taking a shot at Riley, you are taking shot at Oz.

So, it's not about sideline stuff. It's about wins and losses. At least you're honest about unrealistic expectations and consequences for not meeting them.

False. If for no other reason that Coach Osborne called his own plays.

 

You have to stop just making things up, please.

Oz was actually very intense and, compared to Riley, was like the Energizer Bunny. Oz could get in a ref's or player's face. Riley makes vanilla seem interesting. Not that I dislike the guy, just can't see any mojo coming from him..

We had a nice winner with Frank and ran him out of town, too.

 

Nebraska fans need to fix themselves.

I agree fans need to fix themselves but didn't Franks uh little Frankie .. get him fired? or have a lot to do with it??

Unsubstantiated rumor based on a smear campaign engineered after the Peder royally screwed up the search and hire.

Banging coeds and not recruiting gets you fired anywhere.

Solich was a great recruiter.

 

 

Joe Daily and Santino Panico say hi.

Panico was recruited by and committed to Callahan.

 

This is basic stuff.

[cm husker]

Can you imagine Riley staring down that stupid buffalo?

 

Not a knock on Riley, but few coaches in the history of the game have matched TO's intensity and focus.

[Husker67]

The biggest expectation is having Eichorst, Riley, and friends removed from the program. There is a massive derth in leadership down there that unfortunately will not be removed for a few years. The only thing worse then watching talent and resources being wasted is watching time being wasted. Can't get time back.

 

None of this leadership has shown any signs of actual leadership or quality decision making. We had or worst loss in fifty years and our athletic director writes a fricken letter. A letter violating his own policy of commenting on coaches during the year, which he had already violated once before. He sends the coaches to take all the flack while sending out a letter. That's not leadership. He also makes the decision to bring in a 62 year old coach who is going to completely change the offense and defense. To accommodate this we have to wait 2-4 years for 'his guys to get down here.' Great, so we will now have 64-68 year old head coach with a couple of years before he needs to retire or watch football pass him by if it hasn't already. Thats a lot of time and money wasted when time is the one thing that hurts the most to lose.

 

This team is exactly what a poorly coached team is: highly penalized and turnover prone. He has a .536 winning record over a career. I would love to be optimistic but the decisions that have been made during the season give little hope of anything better then .536. Look at the teams and coaches we beat this year:

 

South Alabama - 5-6 Not much needs said here

Southern Miss - 0-12 in 2013, 3-9 in 2014, with improvement in 2015.

Minnesota - 5-7 coach retires weeks later

MSU - Will tip my hat to this, except the said fact shows out talent is close to the big boys. Msu came to play.

Rutgers - 4-8 Whole athletic department canned.

 

This is embarrassing.

 

Now the teams we lost included an interim coach. a coach fired mid season, Purdue, a first year coach (one year removed from another first year coach). There is little to look forward to with this coaching staff except for quotes such as 'we have to pass the ball better to run the ball,' 'I was spooked because our one short yardage run play was already stopped for no loss,' paying 450,000 for a special teams coordinator (his sole responsibility) that constantly looks worse then the other teams special teams. It is evident they don't want to run the ball or adjust their schemes which means the program is going to be at the mercy of one single 18 year old kid from California. None of it makes sense.

There are two teams on that list of wins that are playing for their conference championships today. I wonder if any other team can say this. No one in the B1G can.

theres a big difference is Riley on a sideline and Tom on a sideline. Tom is engaged in the game. Riley doesn't seem to be. but thanks for clearing my thoughts....

I should have said that two of the five teams we beat are playing in their respective conference championships today. LSU only beat Florida, but lost to Alabama. I think that's it for them.

 

Riley knows how to beat the good teams, it's the Purdue's and Illinois's of the world that we need to beat.

Doing that didnt work well for the last guy. Thankfully Bo's focus on making good students is helping this coach get to a bowl game on 5 wins. Maybe MR should split his $150,000 bonus with Bo since that's the reason we qualify.

They can say what ever they want about why BP was fired, he was fired because of the way he acted on the sideline, towards his bosses, towards the fan base and media. I was fine with his coaching and was very happy with the academic standards he set as a HC, but that type of personality is exhausting. If you have neve worked with or for someone like that you will never know. I have had a boss like that, it was like walking on egg shells all the time. One minute he was great and the next he would blow up about some stupid insignificant thing.

 

If BP would have won 70+% of his games and had that type of academic record and a better additude about things, he would still be at Nebraska. He doesn't have to be the nicest guy in the world, he just needs to not be a big dick.

==========================

 

As for expectations, I expect that our recruiting will improve. I expect that Mike Riley and staff will go back to the film room in the offseason and figure out how to win the close games, and dominate weaker opponents.

Why would this still be an expectation for this coach in year +15? Some people act like this is MR's first year coaching. Bunch of excuse makers.

[74Hunter]

Can you imagine Riley staring down that stupid buffalo?

 

Not a knock on Riley, but few coaches in the history of the game have matched TO's intensity and focus.

It's an insult to Dr. Tom to compare Riley to him.

If BP would have won 70+% of his games and had that type of academic record and a better additude about things, he would still be at Nebraska. He doesn't have to be the nicest guy in the world, he just needs to not be a big dick.

 

 

==========================

 

As for expectations, I expect that our recruiting will improve. I expect that Mike Riley and staff will go back to the film room in the offseason and figure out how to win the close games, and dominate weaker opponents.

Why would this still be an expectation for this coach in year +15? Some people act like this is MR's first year coaching. Bunch of excuse makers.

Even if Riley does get lucky enough to win some games, hiring him at his age was a huge mistake. It'll set the program back years.
