RunRedRun Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I like the group. Love RB -- Reggie Davis WR -- Keith Williams OL -- Mike Cavanaugh LB -- Trent Bray DB -- Charlton Warren All the support staff -- especially Ryan Gunderson and Andy Vaughn. HC -- Mike Riley. Maybe most importantly. Pressure's on OC -- Danny Langsdorf Playcalling, recruiting. Good resume, but much will be asked of him. Beck was solid and does leave some shoes to fill, especially in recruiting. Question marks DC -- Mark Banker Biggest question marks by far. Let's see how he does with the defense, and with recruiting. And, hugely, if he doesn't cut it, would Riley be willing to make a change? DL -- Hank Hughes Banker believes in him and has DC experience. Recruiting? ST -- Read Has to show value in all phases of special teams play, not just kickers/punters (which I think is what he's known for). Is out on the trail recruiting but will he be an asset there? Still, you figure his job security is probably going to be very good. not sure what this means (bold) but agree with the rest.. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 NEBRASKA @huslinhusker405 This is the New #Justiceleague #HuskerLeague powers in recruiting and teaching #ChildrenOfAtom That's a lot of negativity there in that atom. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 This staff is like the football equivalent of searching craigslist and putting in a $250 max filter hoping you find some steals that you get good use out of instead of paying full sticker price at a furniture store. 1 Quote Link to comment

Are you saying this because it lacks the "star power" of an Ed Orgeron or Kevin Steele? To me, it looks like Riley is bringing in a mix of guys he is familiar with, along with other guys with strong experience/background. It's way too early to say if the staff is great, or it's going to be a bust. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Where exactly did we come up short ? You guys act like we penny pinched while looking for a coach. We went out and got the coach we wanted. It only took a few days. Quote Link to comment

It's way too early to say if the staff is great, or it's going to be a bust. We've had coaches that bring in guys with experience and that they are familiar with before. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I'm not saying that as a critique - I'm the guy that shops craigslist for everything. It's just an observation. Quote Link to comment

We went out and got the coach we wanted. It only took a few days. it's because we're only paying Riley 2.7 mill, down roughly .6 mil from Bo's final salary. But poeple who bitch about that dont wanna point out the list of incentives, or the overall massive uprgrade in pay for the assistants. but they will. Once the first game rolls around and this staff clearly coaches circles around anything we've seen the past 11 years. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guy has done an absolutely amazing job up to this point. He hired a staff that on paper is solid. Let him coach and after that bring your pitchforks. Hell most of us didn't start bitching about our last HC until he was 4-5 years deep as HC here. Support our current staff and let them show you what they have 3 Quote Link to comment

TheSker Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Guy has done an absolutely amazing job up to this point. Well, true.....he reportedly did say aw shucks to the media with a big smile. Of course we'll see what Riley can do.....but it's rare for a program like Nebraska to hire a coach who had 3 losing seasons out of his last 5. Quote Link to comment

You were negative about Pelini and now negative about Riley. Life must be miserable 3 Quote Link to comment
