Sunshine Kool-Aid Drinkers, Thanks for Helping Kill This Program

[VectorVictor]

At this point, there's no justification for this staff any longer. There's no argument that can be made when we just experience incompetence on both sides of the ball in our sixth game into the season. People should be storming Eichorst's office with torches and pitchforks and demanding changes from this staff, immediately.

 

Langsdorf has proven himself inept at playcalling for the second game in a row, as well as managing our RB stable.

 

Banker's defense has only looked merely competent the past two games because of who we played and/or weather elements, and not because of any real improvement by the kids or the staff. Our DBs can't find the ball and have regressed from last year. The only thing that improved was last minute clock management, which really wasn't a win considering our offense couldn't make a first down to save themselves when it really mattered.

 

And before some idiot trots out the 'bad luck/last second' scenario, I've stated elsewhere that this sentiment is should be b******t for anyone that followed the team during the Dr. Tom era, as he himself said that the team needs to play well enough to where a single play, officiating call, or event can take the game out of your hands. Our teams have had four last minute losses, but they were ALL because of the ineptitude on the part of the coaching staff during the 59:00 preceding.

 

There is NO improvement from game to game from this staff, which completely undermines any argument that suggests this staff needs time. If anything, the more time this staff has, it's only going to turn into more opportunities to piss away games that they should have handily won.

 

So sunshine pumpers, kool-aid drinkers, you can keep saying Riley needs multiple years, but understand all you're doing is setting the program back with that line of thought, when this kind of ineptitude demands immediate and decisive action on the part of the University leadership. There's little to build on, little redeeming with this team and program that warrants a second year, let alone the full tenure of Riley's contract.

 

I'll always be a fan of DoNU, but I can't stand by when there are people willing to accept incompetence and ineptitude and gobble up the PR coming out of Eichorst's office at face value.

 

Bottom line: These kids playing for DoNU deserve better than Riley, and they deserve better from the fans than acceptance of the current s***show that is currently in charge of the program.

I predicted this outcome...go check the game prediction. Am I psychic? No... Mike Riley is a broken record.

unfortunately, it doesn't matter. welcome to 2+ years of football hell. even worse than bogatory

Not if the fans stop showing up and it becomes blatantly obvious the AD is having to fudge the sellout streak.

Not if the fans start lambasting Eichorst, et al, publicly in the media.

Not if the fans stop buying merchandise and vote with their wallets.

Not if the fans stop buying tickets to the games and don't attend.

 

Vote with your feet and wallets. Make it a point to lambaste the coaching staff and the AD for employing them when it's painfully obvious they're not able to do the job they were hired for.

 

There is no excuse for dropping the BYU, Wisky, or Illinois games. None. And anyone pumping sunshine and saying the staff needs time makes it THAT much harder for DoNU to come back and recover after folks finally wise up and jettison Riley and his staff. Hires like Harbaugh make it painfully obvious that quality coaching *DOES* matter, and it is available. We just need competent leadership to go out and get it.

yes, fire a coach less than a year after firing a 9 win coach. naia division 2 position coaches will be beating down the door for a paycheck. because no one would come near nebraska if that happened.

There are plenty of coaches who would come. Its all about the money. Remember folks saying Peterson would never leave Boise...........

 

Good coaches see NU and know they can win and win now. Winning cures all ills. So does money for a coach....

[74Hunter]

When is the next time that Pederhorst will come out from under his rock and appear on the husker network?

 

 

Ah hell, maybe these games don't matter.

[Hunter94]

just because the coaching is suspect, doesn't mean we shouldn't keep supporting the kids (team).......they are trying, they are playing the game that they are taught by the coaches, talent lacking or not, they didn't quit.

Then you haven't been paying attention to college football for the past 30 years if you think this way. :-|

 

We can get a quality coach at DoNU at the end of the season if we open the wallet. Riley was a dime-store hire, and we're getting dime-store results. And opening the wallet doesn't mean throwing 10m a year at a coach (like Texass wants to do with Saban), but it does mean we may have to pay a quality coach $4-5m a year.

 

And considering that Nebraska's mediocrity will have a significantly negative impact on merchandise sales and brand value, it's honestly shocking that our leadership didn't make a quality hire last time around.

And folks need to start lighting Eichorst's office up. We may need to use Miami-level theatrics to get our point across...hire a plane and banner to fire Riley, get national media attention. But something needs to be done, and the fans need to start speaking up and not accepting this s***show.

and yet the crowd sounded as loud as I've ever heard them.

 

Hmmmm..........it's too bad not everybody is buying into your bullsh#t, or your story would be a lot easier to tell huh?

[74Hunter]

You must be so proud that the Huskers are now a laughing stock.

 

So embarrassing.

 

But hey, he doesn't make funny faces.

Money is not an obstacle, says the AD.

 

Then, he saves money by getting the dime store hire.

 

Players will come for the right coach. They won't come for a guy who isn't going to have success.

[suh_fan93]

I think most people do support the players. I'm not in support of the staff but even if I were or weren't I definitely support the players. No one really gets in trouble except for a few here and there like some kids will do but overall you aren't reading about the players in the papers for bad things as much as at other schools. We still have kids from Hastings and other small towns who are out there who I probably pull a little bit harder for. Disappointed in the staff we have and even when some guys don't play great it's still not about the players.

 

Even though I'm not happy with the staff we have it's not even personal like that towards them either. We all know MR is a nice guy. In over his head probably coaching here is all. Husker fans want to win. I'm sure people who have said negative things about his coaching or the decisions or whatever have absolutely nothing against the man as a person. How could you? He's a family man with a wife and kids and is obviously a loyal coach to his players and his staff. Hard to not respect that.

 

We must remember to not take everything we write so seriously either. We're all passionate football fans who have differing opinions.

And, as I type this - Unranked Arkansas, who's head coach only has like two SEC wins since he's been there, is up four on Bama.
