"Putting this staff together is really a balance. I have to get the right people. To get that through knowledge of working with people over time, is the best way to do that. When I have a known, I go with it. Quote Link to comment
hskrNmo Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That's really disappointing. Quote Link to comment
hskrNmo Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Especially considering the lack of actual Running Back experience his rb coach hire has. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hate to be the guy that says…… I have said that all along…… there was ZERO chance of keeping RB….. too bad, egos control things…. This one isn't on MR Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Wow! That's not what we've been hearing! We were hearing that Riley DID offer him a spot but he turned him down. How disappointing! Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Must be something more to it. Ron brown is a guy you keep. Whichever position he had coached in the past that unit always thrived. Hell he could have been the WR coach and would have done just fine. Really disappointing. 3 Quote Link to comment

So he does have one season on RB. I stand corrected. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I have never seen so many people care about one assistant coach like NU fans with Brown. I understand he is a great leader of men and a link to the Osborne days, but it's ok that he's not a part of Riley's staff. It's not a big deal, and Brown will be just fine in semi-retirement. 3 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Link to the Osborne days. Thats why hes not coming back. WE HAVE TO MOVE ON. EMBRACE THE PAST. QUIT LIVING IN IT. 3 Quote Link to comment

Bingo...This staff needs to be full of guys that are willing to bust their butts on the trail and Brown is not one of those guys. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Link to the Osborne days. Thats why hes not coming back. WE HAVE TO MOVE ON. EMBRACE THE PAST. QUIT LIVING IN IT. If this was a remark directed at my comments…… that's fine…….. Just stating that I am NOT living in the past, have moved on…. supported Bo , will support MR, and hell, even supported BC, until he gave us reason's not too... I don't think that presenting information should be construed as "living in the past", just because it doesn't quite "conform" with what some want to hear on the board. I am beginning to get excited for the fresh start, but it will not change the fact that the past has happened for a reason. When people are asking questions, you tend to give answers. When your "answers" don't match what some think, then you are called under the carpet. If some only knew what they think they know…… I am too close to the situation that I keep referring too, so enough is enough….. It's official, RB is not coming back, a FEW us us know why….and if we try to state it, we are criticized…. So now that it is all done, ON TO BRIGHTER DAYS…. 2 Quote Link to comment

throwing bones Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just remember he did this in 2012 and was blasted for it by the university. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7863307/nebraska-cornhuskers-assistant-ron-brown-confusing-faith-rights To someone like Riley, who has never worked with Ron Brown, why would you keep him around?
