Shawn Eichorst's public support of Mike Riley has backfired on a national level.

Some good quotes about the situation from the local beat writers:

 

From Dirk Chatelain of the Omaha World-Herald, who describes Riley's first season as "a complete disaster":

Nebraska basically has two options: Fire the athletic director now, then the coach at the end of the season, as it did in 2007. Or ride this thing out. ... Practically speaking, Nebraska has no choice but to endure this disaster for three more weeks. Hope like heck that Riley can make the proper offseason decisions to turn it around in 2016.

From Lincoln Journal Star columnist Steven M. Sipple:

University leaders may soon -- very soon -- have to make a choice: gamble that Eichorst hired the right guy in Riley and ride out the rough waters, with or without Eichorst. Or start over again from scratch -- new AD, new coaching staff.

From Omaha World-Herald columnist Tom Shatel:

It doesn’t get any lower, does it? Mike Riley was hired by Shawn Eichorst to avoid these embarrassments. Now the pitchforks are out and it’s not because of Halloween. Forget it. Neither Eichorst not Riley is getting fired and shouldn’t. The Nebraska job would become radioactive in the coaching frat. Moreover, it’s not how Nebraska needs to do things. This is Riley’s first year. Give the man some room.

That's the thing, we aren't going to fire Mike Riley in season one. No matter how bad the results. If we did, there is no way we'd be able to attract a decent coach. Lincoln would be toxic.

 

People keep saying that, but no one provides any evidence.

 

I'll head right over to Shawn Eichorst's house, tap on his bedroom window, and get a signed affidavit from him.

 

And this would prove the coaching job is toxic how? The lack of logic here befuddles me!

 

 

Wut?

 

How would asking Eichorst if the coaching job would be toxic, PROVE that it would be toxic??? Follow the conversation line its not rocket science, or do we need Eichorst to sign off on that one as well?

 

 

Read much, do you? My joking comment above about tapping on Eichorts' window had nothing to do with the toxicity of this place. So I said "wut?" Then I bolded the sentence, originally from post #3. I even increased the font size of the sentence in the hope that you would see it.

 

Here, let me reproduce it below, so it won't go off on another one of your rages:

 

That's the thing, we aren't going to fire Mike Riley in season one.

 

 

Lest there is any misunderstanding, let me explain, in plain words, the joke of post #7: Since the media quoted in the OP above doesn't have a vote, and it's Shawn Eichorst's call as to whether he's going to fire Mike Riley, the only way for me to get evidence that we aren't going to fire Mike Riley in season one would be for me to go tap at his window and ask Shawn personally. (It was 4:00am when I typed that. Presumably he'd be in bed.)

 

Are we done with this? Or do you want to start some other pointless argument?

[MichiganDad3]

 

I went on Coaches Hot Seat to read the rest of that blog. Those guys did their research. They hammer Perlman and Eichorst pretty hard there and rightfully so.

 

 

…and Nebraska Football is NOT about a quarterback standing three yards behind the center throwing the football and we thought that everyone in Lincoln had come to understand that FACT when Bill Callahan’s Sorry Ass was hired and then appropriately run out of the Great State of Nebraska!

 

 

…will also have his Stupid Ass run out of town and NEVER be hired again at a big-time football program like Nebraska!

We have a list here at Coaches Hot Seat…

Worst Head Coaching Hires in the Post-Bear Bryant College Football History

….and here is the Top 10 of that list as it stands today:

1. Charlie Weis, Kansas

2. Charlie Weis, Notre Dame

3. Gerry Faust, Notre Dame

4. Bill Callahan, Nebraska

5. Lane Kiffin, Tennessee

6. Lane Kiffin, USC

7. Mike Riley, Nebraska

8. Mike Price, Alabama

9. Howard Schnellenberger, Oklahoma

10. Ron Zook, Florida

 

 

Do you feel ashamed fans of Nebraska football?

You should feel ashamed BUT be ashamed for the RIGHT thing and the RIGHT thing is that you let THREE Complete Morons get into positions of power at the University of Nebraska:

Chancellor Harvey Perlman

Former AD Steve Pederson

Current AD Shawn Eichorst

Without the THREE Husker Stooges as they are known here at Coaches Hot Seat there is NO…

Bill Callahan

….thus no reason to hire Bo Pelini and then there is also no Idiot around to hire Mike Riley who we point out posted a record in Pac-12 Conference play at Oregon State of…

58 – 63

….and over the last FIVE seasons at Oregon State posted a Pac-12 Conference record of…

19 – 26!

A record of 19 – 26 in Pac-12 Conference play over the last FIVE seasons can get you the…

 

 

 

 

Freaking Head Coaching job at the University of Nebraska?

Please…is there ANYONE in the state of Nebraska that can explain to us how current Nebraska AD Shawn Eichorst is still employed at the University of Nebraska?

Geez….getting back to the point here…that Mike Riley after the Huskers Total Debacle against a Purdue team that has been getting its ass whipped for a few years now is on the No. 1 Hot Seat after that Total Debacle against Purdue are 3 – 6 on the season and still have to play games against…

 

 

Solve the Damn Problem

….which is Harvey Perlman’s Sorry Ass should be run out of Lincoln before he does more damage to the University and the Nebraska football program.

 

It sounds like Coaches Hot Seat grabbed quotes from this board the day MR's hiring was announced. They nailed it. The three stooges remark was spot on.

It doesnt get any lower, does it? Mike Riley was hired by Shawn Eichorst to avoid these embarrassments. Now the pitchforks are out and its not because of Halloween. Forget it. Neither Eichorst not Riley is getting fired and shouldnt. The Nebraska job would become radioactive in the coaching frat. Moreover, its not how Nebraska needs to do things. This is Rileys first year. Give the man some room.

 

That's the thing, we aren't going to fire Mike Riley in season one. No matter how bad the results. If we did, there is no way we'd be able to attract a decent coach. Lincoln would be toxic.

That's baloney. Money talks. You throw 4 or 5 mil at a hot young coach who's confident in his abilities and looking to make a name for himself, plus all the resources Nebraska has to offer, and he couldn't care less what the last coach did.

 

 

The problem with this theory is there are only so many hot young coaches & there is a lot of open jobs. I think almost every coach would USC over NU. At this stage Miami & South Carolina might be better jobs. Heck, Maryland might sound like a better job at this point. A little less money, new under armour money & lower expectations.

 

I really wish NU would scrap this current staff & hire Tom Herman or Kyle Whttingham, but I don't think either would have a lot of interest after you fired a 1st year coach.

 

 

This is not even debatable. USCwest, USCsouth and Miami all are considered better jobs than Nebraska right now. They are better jobs not because they have better fans more money or better facilities. They are better jobs because they have better recruiting bases to work from. Plus 2 of the three have great tradition and one plays in the SEC. Maryland has not tradition but all the other things to eventually be a good program with the right coach. Tom Herman is not coming to Nebraska next year if MR is fired. He will get the same money from one of those schools. Justin Fuentes is not coming to Nebraska either. He has his choice of programs. Kyle Whittinghim is not coming to Nebraska he is a Mormon, he is a life long resident of Utah, he has built a great program at Utah that can already compete in a big boy conference, and he has a lot better recruiting area than coming to Nebraska.

 

Look I and everyone on this board thinks Nebraska is a great place to play and coach football, but that doesn't mean most people do. If you fire a coach after one year there will be a lot of coaches that will take a hard look at not coming to Nebraska.

[khaake]

Meh.

 

If Nebraska plays by the dog-eat-dog rules we will lose. We will NOT win-out in a coach grab with USC, or Miami, or [fill-in-the-blank-with-any-one-of-two-dozen-major-programs]. If our goal is to simply out scramble Kansas for a head coach hire, then sure, we could probably do that. But that is not the goal. The goal is to continue and build upon the proud tradition we have here, which goes (and needs to go) well beyond wins and losses. And to do that, we cannot do it in a cut-throat manner. We cannot simply throw money into the pot and hope that something good will come from it. Most likely it will not.

I'm not arguing that Riley & his staff are the right choices to right this ship. I had hoped that they would be, but the on-field results haven't shown it to date. But I am more than willing to to give them more time to instill what they are trying to instill. We cannot out big-dog the big dogs. We have to be different. We have to do things right. Give them some space, and let's see what next year brings.

I think you make some really good points.

 

Some of it is timing too...

[WhatDoIKnow]

These are the same types that would also say Tom Osborne and his out dated and 'slow' teams couldn't win against the Gators and the Hurricanes and Seminoles and all those 'fast' teams that would run rings around the slow 'plodding' Huskers.

 

Their opinions are worthless to me. Nebraska needs to take care of its own family and issues 'in house'. Everybody else should "butt out'!

 

You do realize that TO and McBride didn't get over the hump until they made changes (speed/scheme) on the defensive side of the ball to compete with the faster teams, correct? Turned safeties into OLBs, etc.

[GBRedneck]

The last couple posts outline the main reason I support Scott Frost as our next HC. He is the best of the available coaches who we could actually realistically hire. Name coaches and hot up and comers are going to get just as much money from other more attractive destinations as tehy would from us.
