TJ Alum Husker Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I wish him well. He is taking a big risk given Fedora's standing and record. I feel for the kids thougo. 5 coaches in 6 years really stunts their development Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Wonder what Minter is doing these days. Doesn't he have a Head Coaching gig down south......? Otherwise, he'd be a great candidate...... Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 We can't hate on Warren we all loved and raved about him since he has been here. Let's face it UNC beat out Nebraska. We have indirectly been impacted by mediocrity. That's who we are now we can't even keep a good secondary coach for more than a year. Speaks volumes. Step away from the ledge. Let him jump!

NUance Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Well I guess if the other coaches on the staff and the players Charlton recruited aren't upset by this, then it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for me to get too worked up about it. Glad to see the players and coaches handling this with class and maturity. ^^ Yeah, this. But it is a perplexing move. I mean, it's definitely a downgrade to a lesser program. I'll bet there is a story behind the story that isn't public knowledge. There usually is. / adjusts tin foil hat Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Honestly, I have no idea if the db coaches we have had are just good or amazing. A). We had a control freak head coach that this was his specialty. So, who ever came in, they were going to teach what ever he said. B). We played a scheme where we had more guys in pass coverage than the normal defense. So, we look at stats of bad passing by our opponent but, was that because our db coach was amazing or because we had 5-6 guys back in pass coverage while the other team is racking up rushing yards? Riley will find someone good and we will move on. Looking forward to a new defense. 1 Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Riley said it, Warren made a decision about family for once and not football. He did this for his family to be closer to home. Can't blame a man for that. He probably told Riley he might be looking to get back home but he would stay on long enough to help with the transition and lock in the signing class. If he did that, he did a noble thing by sticking around to help Riley with the transition and to help him understand the old system. I think it was a great benefit that Riley and Banker were able to watch practice before the bowl, watch the bowl game live, and to get to talk with some of the old staff to learn about what they had on the team and what the team did. It gives them a lot to go off of without having to come in with absolutely nothing. I think this should help them in spring ball. 3 Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 “I think it is an issue,” Riley said Friday. “I think it is unfortunate for the student-athletes. I think they feel somewhat deceived, and I think that’s bad for our game in general.” http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/115739/mike-riley-on-post-signing-day-coaching-moves-i-think-its-bad-for-our-game The press release is more politically correct, but these comments I would say are more of his true feelings on the matter, 2 Quote Link to comment

Hayseed Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The good news is there is no one left to bail. Sounds like he didn't care for living in Nebraska and Papuchis got him the opportunity to go home. Everything has happened so suddenly that I can't say that I blame him for doing what he thinks is best for his family even though it's not fair to the players he coached and recruited. This is what instability gets you. I'm sure Riley has met a few other DB coaches who wouldn't mind moving up to the big leagues. Quote Link to comment
Ric Flair Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 3m3 minutes ago Eric Lee Sr says CW great guy. "As a father and businessman, I completely understand when opportunity knocks, you have to answer the door." Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 2m2 minutes ago Lee Sr.: "My son will be fine. ... I spoke to Eric briefly and he seemed happy & excited about the opportunity still ahead of him." #Huskers That's awesome. Maybe we can find a coach for Eric that will stay around a while. I understand opportunity and all of that, but when did loyalty and appreciation go out the window? I'm not going to miss a guy that only hung around for a year and then left after being the only guy retained by the new staff. I'm glad he left now. Being a NU coach obviously meant nothing to him. JMO. I know we had a decent secondary, but very few interceptions that I recall (Nate Gerry seems like our best ball hawk). I'd like to get back to the days of the Bullocks twins -When defenders turned around and looked for the ball instead of letting it hit them in the back of the head. I don't think it's legal to have defensive backs turn around and try to make a play for the ball. A defense scores points as members of the secondary are clocked in the back of the head by footballs. It's one point for a glancing blow, two for a direct hit, and three for getting hit hard enough to require concussion testing. Football is a complicated game, and as a mere fan I wouldn't expect you to understand that. Sincerely, Phil Elmassian 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 No mention of any co-DC title in the press release about his hiring or on the coaches page. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm sure Riley has met a few other DB coaches who wouldn't mind moving up to the big leagues. This was my first thought. Didn't expect a slamrun homedunk splish hire like Coach Stew this late in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment
