Redux Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Would you hope for Nebraska to finish 3-9 if it meant we fired Mike Riley at the end of the year? Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I love watching them win and hate watching them lose too much to want them to lose out. Plus I wouldn't want Gangwish and Janovich to finish their Husker careers with a season like that. I don't believe Riley is the guy for the job, and am far from impressed with the product on the field. But I would never wish for this team to lose a game, let alone lose out. 2 Quote Link to comment
Singe Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It pains me to see my Huskers losing like this but would never want us to lose in order to have a coach fired. Riley isn't a bad coach, he's just not right for Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 One of your vote options contradicts the question. .......if it meant a staff change? #2- No, he isn't getting fired..... ???? Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Lots of negativity right now. And with good cause. Here's a different spin on this year though. Maybe Riley came here hoping to adapt. Maybe he just doesn't know how to change his well established style. So we run with his offensive strategy and his defensive strategy ... even though we lack the players for it. The difficulty of adaptation has been aggravated by injuries throughout the roster. Still, we are so close in so many games. Maybe we upgrade our talent through recruiting. Maybe Coach Riley starts to see big time development next year. With everyone starting "the sky is falling" threads, can we just acknowledge that it could go the other way? Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I don't think Riley gets fired regardless what his record is this year. Yes, if it meant this coaching situation would get corrected sooner rather than later, I would take 3-9 this year. Some will say that is terrible......but they would need to explain what 1 or 2 more wins really does for us. I'm not going to actively promote another coaching change already. Not because I don't think it would expedite a possible return to respectability but because I don't think there is any chance in hell Eichorst will do anything about before the end of next season at the soonest. We are in football purgatory. No sense douching it up for a year and a half for no reason. I thought I could give Riley longer but I've seen enough to know nothing is going to get much better. It's a mediocre staff with mediocre players that is satisfied with mediocrity. Pretty much describes the last 15 years of our program. I'm not convinced there is any solution. I now think this job is too toxic for anyone to want to do. #careerender 2 Quote Link to comment
HuskerMerc44 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 We salvage what we can. Rooting for Husker losses isn't right. A couple 3-9 seasons might be necessary though. Cleans out bad blood. Shows patience to a coach. Gives us valid reason to move on. When you hit the bottom, the next coach can only bring it back up. 1 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 3-9 seasons back to back? Ugh. That will pretty much doom the program to about 40 years of aimless wondering in the college football desert. I hoped Mike Riley could lead us back to the promised land sometime in my remaining lifetime but at age 57, that doesn't seem very likely. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Never!!! You have too many seniors that have busted their butts to make the team better, a staff that is struggling with injuries, possible attitudes and fans that are already calling for their heads. The kids do not deserve the fans quitting on them. As if losing means more to the fans than the kids that work year around to try and please us on the field. BS Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I absolutely can't believe Husker "fans" want the team to lose. Sad. 3 Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 It is beyond sad, pathetic. Disgusting. We love the Huskers (when they win). Quote Link to comment

GOAT Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 He's not going to be let go, even if we lose out, so it doesn't really matter. That being said, I could never root for the Huskers to lose. After the season I'm sure he'll be told that staff changes need to be made, and I'm holding out hope that he'll refuse to make them due to personal loyalty and will choose to resign instead. Unfortunately he has 2,700,000 reasons to make those changes and remain our coach. Quote Link to comment
Branno Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Would you hope for Nebraska to finish 3-9 if it meant we fired Mike Riley at the end of the year? No. I will never hope this team loses. Quote Link to comment
