Scratchtown Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Is there honestly any realistic chance that Mike Reilly isn't here for at least 3 more seasons? Ya, I hope. If we go 4-8, which is what I think will happen...he should not get another year, because Pelini wouldn't have been that bad, no matter how much we hate him. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Before we are able to s**tcan Riley, we have to get Eichorst and his incompetence out of office first. So for AD replacements, I would suggest going after the Michigan State AD Mark Hollis. Not only has he improved both football and basketball under his watch, his athletes consistently post high GPAs and from what I can tell, there's been little to no drama with him and his tenure. 2 Quote Link to comment
GOAT Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Paul Johnson or Troy Calhoun would be fine w/ me, as well. Only issue I have w/ them is recruiting ability. We need a guy who can coach AND recruit, that's why Richt/Tressel/Kelly top my list. Quote Link to comment
GOAT Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Gotta get rid of Eichorst before we can get rid of Riley. No way will Eichorst fire Riley and admit he made the wrong hire. 3 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hey PowerT, I don't watch AFA as much as you do. Does Calhoun run a wing-bone, like DeBerry used to? Are all of his plays based off option concepts? Just curious since I don't know. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Is there honestly any realistic chance that Mike Reilly isn't here for at least 3 more seasons? There is if we kill the sellout streak and embarrass Eichorst on national television (e.g. flybys, mail campaigns, t-shirts) Quote Link to comment
GOAT Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Eichorst hired Al Golden and Mike Riley. 'Nuff said. 5 Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Is there honestly any realistic chance that Mike Reilly isn't here for at least 3 more seasons? I have no idea, but Nebraska football brings in a lot of money. IMO we are dangerously close to losing a portion of that money. Three consecutive sub-par seasons, and the sellout streak is probably gone. Merchandising revenue will probably drop substantially this year. That should get the attention of decision makers. We may not be able to afford keeping MR. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Anything and anyone that brings back: Smash-mouth, power football Good fundamentals Clock management Player Development And yes.......OPTION FOOTBALL! I'm pretty sure you and I are on the same page. The only answer, in terms of scheme and style of football for what everyone wants to see, is Troy Calhoun. I'm probably going to say his name 1000 times this week, and 100000 times this season. 2 Quote Link to comment

Are all of his plays based off option concepts? Just curious since I don't know. Thanks in advance. Flexbone stuff, I formation, Shotgun, but the meat of his offense is based off option football. He's a better option than Paul Johnson because he stresses defenses with option ball from multiple formations. There is a reason he got rave reviews and was compared to TO in a Fox Sports article in July. I posted it on here a couple weeks back. 2 Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Troy Calhoun. Tom Herman. Scott Frost. Chip Kelly. Justin Fuente. Probably in that order Hire a DC that is good. Bud Foster at VaTech? Venables? Northwestern's DC? I don't even care, I just want to play a brand of football that suits NU. Lance Leipold was my choice before Riley. He is starting out bad at Buffalo but I think he is definitely a top coach. Quote Link to comment
