Hayseed Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 http://nebraska.247sports.com/Bolt/Riley-to-visit-Anderson-33699873 Â Â RILEY CHECKING IN ON TWO TOP HUSKER COMMITS!!!! Â YIPPEEEEE!!!! Quote Link to comment
FriendsForever Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'd rate his performance as fantastic with a side of poop. He's going out, talking to recruits, saying the right things, being a coach yada yada. And that's great because it's been awhile to see an actual coach for once. Â But he is being poopy in regards to hiring a staff. Nebraska being thrifty and cheap. Overall id rate his staff 4 out of 5 poops. 5 poops being very very poopy. 1 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thank you for this latest thread installment of "Criticizing everything the new coach does, doesn't do, says, and doesn't say before he unpacks his suitcase." 1 Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 just surprising how critical people are when we have little idea of what riley is up to, but so reluctant to criticize bo when we knew very much what he was and was not doing. Quote Link to comment
TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Maybe wait to judge after at least few games. the problem is that the anxiety to win a championship is through the roof, so people are scrutinizing his every move. Right now he is just settling in. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Â Mike Riley is undefeated as a Husker coach. A+ so far. Best post yet. Â Yes but he is still 9 wins away from making half of Husker Nation happy. Quote Link to comment
Yeti Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Mike Riley just secured the commitments of 3 players tonight.  Eric Lee Avery AndersonStanley Morgan  But yeah, he sucks. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Mike Riley just secured the commitments of 3 players tonight.  Eric Lee Avery Anderson Stanley Morgan  But yeah, he sucks.  You beat me to it. Riley is on a roll. For all of those worried about who all his assistants are, please realize that this is his last week he can make in home visits until January, and I would rather him spend his time/energy firming up our recruits, and then get to finalizing his staff next week.

zoogs Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 On a more serious note, Mike Riley was hired as the head coach of the University of Nebraska last Thursday. He's had to uproot his family on a short notice and move them to Lincoln and he has started to assemble the staff he feels will produce quality football here at NU. He has also started to contact recruits. All that in 5 days is pretty f'ing good if you ask me. Let's calm it down, okay? Pretty good if you ask me, too. It's interesting the amount of hand wringing that's happening with regards to contacting recruits (especially when they tend to be contacted within the next 24 or 48 hours).  Since meeting with the team and being introduced at his presser, in the five days that have elapsed since then, I don't know how many hours Mike Riley could possibly have slept.  He's gone back to Oregon State, secured staff members. He's interviewing more staff members. He's hit the recruiting trail, calling and visiting recruits. He's as of day 5, secured three key recruits 100% to Nebraska. This time last week he didn't even know he was going to be our head coach. What's he doing next, I wonder?  Mike Riley @Coach_Riley[/size] · 30m30 minutes ago  Had a great time in Colorado with @AveryAnderson1 and @elee22_21! Next stop, HUGE stop, Missouri x2!!! #GBR I wonder, when Bo Pelini was hired and still had to concentrate on LSU bowl prep through the month of December, how our recruiting follow-up was going then. Yet there ended up being plenty of time.  We're a few days away from a dead period and everything so far has been going at a sprint. These recruits are all going to get the new coaches' full attention before it's all said and done. I'd also hope that for every recruit, when they are called, the coaches actually have something substantive to say. 1 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Does anyone know yet if Riley wipes front to back? I mean, if uoure gonna be a good fit, it has to be front to back. 2 Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Don't hate me all at once...But I've been wondering how much he'll be able to see his grandson...Sounds like it's an important part of his daily routine and as much as his wife and kids seem to love the Corvallis area, I imagine it will always be "home" for his immediate and extended family...Is his Son and/or Daughter moving to Lincoln too? 2 Quote Link to comment
