Treand3 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Teach - Not really. Maybe early struggles and with the game opener. But I think the offense has speed and good enough athletic ability to score points. By conference we should be experienced and ready to go. The key is if we do improve from week to week, instead of hitting an early season peak and declining or becoming inconsistent. Preach. This always pissed me off and I saw it coming this past season. 1 Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Since Riley was hired, I've heard he is a master developer of quarterbacks. Let's see it....... Link? I've never seen that said before. Since Bo Pelini was hired, I've heard he is a "defensive guru". Still haven't seen it. Here's a link. Unfortunately, there's no hearsay in the article about whether or not Pelini is a defensive guru....but since Pelini is not coaching Nebraska, I think concern about Banker might be more relevant at this time. http://www.omaha.com/huskers/many-hand-it-to-riley-he-can-develop-quarterbacks/article_b2dfc5ea-1502-5b02-97a1-34fa3351642c.html From the article- "In the latter stages of the Bo Pelini era, some Husker fans clamored for a quarterbacks coach. Nebraska appears to have found one — in its head coach." So....that ^ comment there is basically the same as calling him a "master QB developer"? Hmmm...seems to me you may have embellished your side of the argument a bit to fit your objective. I love how you claim Bo's time here irrelevant to the discussion since he no longer coaches here, yet you've been bashing Riley's time at Oregon St. for months now. I provided a link specific to the quarterback development reputation of Riley. I'm very hopeful about that. In my opinion, the play of the QB, OL, and LB are where we need the most improvement. Oh, and Riley's background is currently more relevant than Pelni's because Riley is the current coach of the Nebraska Cornhusker football team. Pelini is not. You're making progress.... You are finally admitting that Riley is the Head Coach of your "supposed" favorite football team. The first step is always "admitting that you have a problem". The way you phrased it, it sounds like Riley as the HC is the problem. Ah, grammar. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt39 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Meh I'm not worried. Rome wasn't built in a day and a football team can't be built in one month in the spring. Riley's doing things the right way. Hey let's pick a selective group of plays that we can execute well, run them out of multiple formations, and build on that. That's called an identity, which this offense hasn't had in a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment
Husker from Kansas Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I know in the past the complexity of our offense was a problem, however I think maybe it was how complex the offense was as much as it was our coaches inability to teach the offense. I'm hopeful that this won't be a problem with Riley and his staff Quote Link to comment

NebraskaShellback Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Progress? Like we are on the 4th coach in a decade, and a 3rd AD but we still have Harvey as chancellor and his circus show. All the fluff from AD on up, they better hope things work out or Husker Nation will question the higher up ability to get the job done hiring a good HC, not a splash hire but a solid HC. Maybe Riley and crew will prove me wrong the next 3 to 4 years. I cooled off some since the Hire of these coaches but I still reserve the right to wait at least two years and form my opinion of Riley but with those above him, fair game! I was never impressed with Harvey as chancellor, remember the Black Shirts tradition was lost under his watch! I feel that we lost so much in the last 20 years, beginning with not playing Oklahoma every year - Texa$$ rules. Quote Link to comment

Hedley Lamarr Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Harvey is the chancellor of the university...a university that is making massive strides during his watch. Quote Link to comment
Husker from Kansas Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Harvey is the chancellor of the university...a university that is making massive strides during his watch. Exactly! Harvey has a lot bigger fish to fry then the football teams head coach. Like making sure the university is providing quality education for the students! I understand that football is a big deal to the university but it nowhere near as important as providing a quality education for students. The football team has to be down the priority list a little ways, keep it in perspective! Quote Link to comment

I understand that football is a big deal to the university but it nowhere near as important as providing a quality education for students. The football team has to be down the priority list a little ways, keep it in perspective! I agree here but the football team is what puts the university in the national spotlight. One example is those commercials that the university runs during games to tout their academic side. If we had a nationally irrelevant team year in and year out, those commercials fall on deaf ears or don't exist at all. So while Harvey should be focused on the university as a whole, Husker football is like 1a in his list of priorities. There is no denying that. 1 Quote Link to comment

They're going to make $1 million dollars off a spring practice here in a few weeks. Everyone knows what the bread and butter of this program is. Still, this is an academic institution devoted to educating young minds for the betterment of our state and country......money is not the most important thing. ^haha.....of course it is.
