Guy Chamberlin Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 NU deserves a top 10-15 coach, Riley isn't a top 10-15 coach Who are the top 10 coaches? Which ones would have accepted NU's offer? Same questions for 11-15. Why does NU "deserve" this? I really want to know who jmfb feels the top 10-15 coaches in the country are? We know Sabin and Meyer are 1 and 2, and from reading his stuff I think Rich Rod fits into his thought pattern. I bet we could throw Jimbo in there also. After that I am thinking Bryles, Patterson and most likely big game bob. That's 8 guys. Which of those 8 would be coming to Nebraska to coach? The next 7 I don't know about? If all opinions are equal in value as you say- just go out and ask the old gal crossing the street or the kids hanging out at the corner market That seems to work for you If you have a medical question or something say on economics or physics, go ahead and ask them too. All opinions are equally valuable remember. I know you're a coach yourself and I know that means something - honestly - but there appear to be a bunch of guys who know a lot about football at an even higher level, and the informed consensus was that Mike Riley was a smart hire for Nebraska: Rivals.com national recruiting director Mike Farrell tweeted that the hiring is a "home run." "I don't think Huskers fans realize what a well-respected game coach Riley is and how hard it is to win in Corvallis," Farrell wrote. Aaron Taylor @outland1997 Gut feeling that Mike Riley will be the Tim Miles for our football program. Congrats coach and welcome to the program. Tom Lemming @LemmingReport Only time will tell but my guess is Mike Riley will bring Nebraska back to national prominence. Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan Another interesting tidbit about Mike Riley is he opened all practices at Oregon State to media and fans. Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan Also the fact USC courted him in 2011, and Alabama offered him their job in 2002 intrigues me on what drew him to make this move now? Damon Benning @damonbenning Amongst his peers, Mike Riley finished 2nd in an ESPN poll behind Cutcliffe as the most underrated coach in the country. Tommie Frazier @TouchdownTommie Good Hire by NU today. George Schroeder @GeorgeSchroeder · Just landed to news of Mike Riley to Nebraska. Truly stunning — but that is a GREAT hire. Scott Shanle @scottshanle After hearing from many people who know Mike Riley personally I am optimistic about the future of @Huskers football. Dan Hoppen @danhoppen Mike Riley was heavily rumored to replace Pete Carroll at USC in 2010, Dennis Franchione at Alabama in 2002. He must like NU’s prospects.

So you are saying that Anderson is going to be great at OSU without him even coaching a game. But Riley has yet to make his debut and he is already a bad choice because he was ranked 41 on a meaningless poll? Sound logic right there. And for the Record Anderson took that gig because he was tired of his situation in Wiscy, sounded like a toxic relationship. He wont be in Corvalis long. Quote Link to comment

Mike Farrell @rivalsmike I may be in the minority here but I like the Riley hire for #Huskers better than the McElwain hire for #Gators. Thoughts? Zach Hannon @_HannonZach72 I stand behind you @Coach_Riley ! I love Coach Bo and all my coaches, now it's a new era. I'm a husker through and through. #GBR Jay Glazer @JayGlazer "@CFBONFOX: NEWS: #Nebraska hires Oregon State's Mike Riley to replace Bo Pelini>>Good for Riley, one of the nicest guys I ever met in NFL Mark McMillian @MarkMcMillian29 If Mike Riley offered my son or any kid I coach I would send them in a heartbeat this man is all about the kids & families #GBR #Nebraska Rich Kaipust @RKaipustOWH I liked this poll back in September because it was a vote of coaching peers -- and Mike Riley scored high on it http://es.pn/1Dc1ACC Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Remember this when viewing Riley's record at OSU. MT @Hlas Oregon State had 28 straight losing football seasons, from '71 thru '98. Jay Foreman @foreman5655 A few things that will be different:player development and pro off!! That alone I'm cool with! Chips in!#HuskerNation Greg Sharpe @SharpeGreg Excited to meet and work with @Coach_Riley can't wait to begin the next chapter of Husker Football. GBR! Brock Huard @BrockESPN No one in CFB I'd trust more with my son in his program than new NEB Coach Mike Riley. Judge this hire after you see the staff he assembles John Bishop @JohnBishop71 #Huskers could double Riley's OSU salary and still be on budget with last year. Look for assistant salary pool to be strong. B. Reilly @brandonreilly01 Idk why everyone's being so negative, give the guy a chance. I mean he has a solid last name that should count for something. Let's get it! Jon Nyatawa @JonNyatawa “He has done more with less at Oregon St than almost any coach I know" -- former NU AD Bill Byrne Jeremy Crabtree @jeremycrabtree #Pac12 assistant on Mike Riley: “Our recruiting jobs just got a lot easier. He was the best talent evaluator in the conference by far.” danny woodhead ✔ @danny__woodhead Follow Mike Riley was my coach at the hula bowl and thought he was a great guy #realexcitedaboutthehire 10:20 AM - 4 Dec 2014 Jordan Westerkamp @JordanWesty1 Follow Looking forward to this new experience with @Coach_Riley GBR. 10:37 AM - 4 Dec 2014 Paul Myerberg ✔ @PaulMyerberg Follow Mike Riley is the most optimistic, pleasant, gracious, accommodating HC in CFB.

Jay Moore @jaymoore44 Follow Now I'm really liking this hire #Huskers #GBR 10:44 AM - 4 Dec 2014 Kirk Herbstreit ✔ @KirkHerbstreit Follow If it's done...great hire by @Huskers getting Mike Riley from Oregon State!! Dennis Dodd ✔ @dennisdoddcbs Follow MIke Riley was always squeezing blood out of a tomato in Corvallis. More infrastructure at Neb. Love the hire. 9:54 AM - 4 Dec 2014 Mack Brown ✔ @ESPN_CoachMack Follow Mike Riley is a great hire @ Neb. Super fit for both. Good job Huskers Welcoming a guy in or saying someone is a nice guy or has a solid last name is the same as saying he is a great hire?Wow what a stretch,. As to how hard it is to win in Corvallis. Interesting that a guy like Gary Anderson who turned Utah State around from nothing to an 11 win team only 6 points away from being 13-0 and a nice run at Wisconsin would bother going there if it was so bad/impossible to win there. Will be interesting if he can replicate the big success Dennis Erickson had after Riley left the first time. So you are saying that Anderson is going to be great at OSU without him even coaching a game. But Riley has yet to make his debut and he is already a bad choice because he was ranked 41 on a meaningless poll? Sound logic right there. And for the Record Anderson took that gig because he was tired of his situation in Wiscy, sounded like a toxic relationship. He wont be in Corvalis long. You need to go back to school for reading comprehension Me saying something is interesting is saying Anderson is going to do great?- wow you need to get out of moms basement/off the pipe/off the booze Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 THERE IT IS! I knew I could get the Moms Basement line outta ya sooner or later! Quote Link to comment
jmfb Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Real shame that your didnt take the time to turn on Sesame Street while you were/are living down there- could have helped you in your reading comprehension I will try to help Interesting DOESNT mean the same as as "great" Hope that helps And telling someone: this is NOT a ringing endorsement.

Guy Chamberlin Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 This reminds me of last week, when you were confronted with a dozen things that countered your opinion and you only responded to a couple things that no one could possibly disagree with. I didn't actually vet that list for 100% Ringing Endorsements, JMFB, I simply grabbed it off a post last December confirming that knowledgable football folk were more upbeat on the Riley hire than many of the hand-wringers on HuskerBoard. And some of those were, in fact, ringing endorsements. Should we compare their resume to yours, since that seems to be the litmus test? Quote Link to comment

There are plenty in Husker Nation- people from the program who are scratching their heads about the hire Good old fashioned manners and welcoming Nebraska hospitality are what a lot of the comments are about Most everyone is going to wish the guy well Hard to dislike such a nice guy Tom Lemming- OK- remember he ranked his good buddy Bill Callahans recruiting class #1 and later admitted he did so because he wanted to give his buddy a little help. Yeah I really respect his comments. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 You weren't trying to sell Anderson, yet you preached his big season from utah state and decent run at Wiscy. Okay...... I don't think it's a reading comprehension problem from me. I think it's an overly inflated ego problem from you. 2 Quote Link to comment
