Moiraine Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 For a guy who is so well respected around coaching and media circles, he knows NOBODY on the staff? Does that speak to the obscurity of the coaching hires Pelini has made? That was my immediate thought. 3 Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 He said he's never seen these guys play. Oy vey.... Well...he was hired on tuesday. No my friend. He was CONTACTED on Tuesday. He was hired yesterday. Oh, thanks for making my point more! Quote Link to comment
onlyHskrfaninIL Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 seems like he will at least consider open practices...no firm commit to it Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Had water balloon fights and other fun things at Oregon State including having open practices to fans and media. Doesn't know if the open practice to fans will continue due to the base being bigger. Quote Link to comment
southernoregonhusker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 For a guy who is so well respected around coaching and media circles, he knows NOBODY on the staff? Does that speak to the obscurity of the coaching hires Pelini has made? Exactly right. Quote Link to comment
HuskerMerc44 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 He's got a good sense of humor. I like the guy. It's refreshing to have a HC who is comfy with presser questions. I hope he gets the assistants he needs. He does seem a bit overwhelmed, but I'm sure that changes. I guess open practices is "up in the air"; different circumstances at OSU vs DONU. I can understand that. His personality slightly reminds me of TO for some reason. Welcome to NU coach! Quote Link to comment

Does that speak to the obscurity of the coaching hires Pelini has made? You're missing the point, my friend. This guy has coached in the NFL. He coached in the Pac-12. The media all claim to know him personally. The coaching world is a pretty small world. I find it hard to believe his path hasn't crossed anybody on this staff at all in his almost 40 years of coaching. EDIT: Apparently, I may be missing the point. Are you saying it's more telling about the previous staff that a guy so well known doesn't know any of the outgoing staff? Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Says he talked to Eichorst on Tuesday / Monday / Tuesday. Met in person with the Chancellor on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 For a guy who is so well respected around coaching and media circles, he knows NOBODY on the staff? That struck me as odd, too. You'd think he'd have a pretty full Rolodex by now. Yeah...I think he has been pretty isolated...but it still something that kind of bugs me a bit... 1. Really well respected but might not know a lot of guys 2. Might be bringing most/all of his old staff 3. Offense is a hodgepodge/multiple Not the end of the world but just things that kind of made me go "hmmmm" He's been here a single day folks. Give him some time....he's got plenty of it. Thats just it...he doesn't have plenty of time. He is starting recruiting today, he said...time is up. Quote Link to comment
74Hunter Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Why should people have confidence that Riley can get it done here? The preparation for football, and the ability to recruit and fit in the talent of his team will give them a great opportunity to win. Always trying to prep yourself to win. They've been on the brink of doing that at OSU - going to the Rose Bowl, but fell just short. Really punting on this question. He implied that the increased history of this program and the ability to recruit here should allow him to push instead of falling short. Yeah, apparently he hasn't paid attention to our last 15 years Quote Link to comment
BigRedPowerWagon Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Wow he is very fidigety. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Local press seems to be the ones asking all the questions. Jernstrom twice, just got one from Dirk. Think one was from Mike Welch. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 @Rose_IveyNB15: Liking this more and more.... just excited to see who comes in with Coach Riley Quote Link to comment
