True2tRA Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I don't think it matters much what anyone has Riley rated this year. He came from a lower tier program that, while a bit inconsistent, had a reputation as a giant killer. Where do you rank a guy like that? I'll be interested to see where coach Riley falls in this same ranking in a couple or three years. It'll mean something then. Exactly. While his career so far is nothing to laugh at, all we really care about is what happens now. This is his first real opportunity to have everything he needs at his disposal. His record for developing talent speaks for itself. Now let's see what he is able to do at a place that should allow him to bring in a much higher level of talent. I know one thing for sure, I'm rootin' for him. 1 Quote Link to comment

chainsaw Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm going to ride with Riley for awhile, to me, he's everything we needed and if he can coach, i'd consider him a gift from above! Riley exemplifies everything i wanted in a coach. We need a CEO to run the program. Let the assistants coach, if an assistant can't hold up his end, then replace him with someone who can. Riley knows the expectations, that's enuff for me! 1 Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 How can you rank a where a guy stands before he even coaches a game? I know this is merely a ploy to generate clicks but c'mon son... Quote Link to comment

He's coached lots of games. but, how many of them have been at Nebraska? Does it say in the article that it's a ranking of coaches based on their performance at their current schools? It's just ranking active coaches. If it was the former you'd have to leave off Harbough and any other coach that changed schools. Now, if it turns out that last year Riley was ranked 80, then maybe it's silly. Quote Link to comment

I just don't agree with your logic about the poll Quote Link to comment

WalksBehindtheRows Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Riley is right about where he should be right now. Has some ground to cover here at Nebraska and hopefully the results don't take too long to come to fruition. Quote Link to comment
cornographic Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Well, Riley was, arguably, a top 5 coach for 'programs that suck', so I suspect he'll move up the ladder of mainstream legitmacy now that he has 'resources'. One hopes, anyway. Being '40th best' won't cut it with the 'top 5 delusional fanbase' @ NU. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Where is Bo Pelini ranked on this list? I couldn't find him. James Franklin seems over-rated to me on this list. I think the guy gets way too much credit for what he's done and in their explanation of why he's ranked highly on the list it's because they just expect him to make Penn St. a contender in the Big Ten. A list based on what you expect a coach to do seems pretty uselss first of all, and secondly, for Penn St. to be a contender they would have to beat Michigan St. and Ohio St. on a regular basis. Good luck with that. Quote Link to comment
