Bobby Bowden maybe.

Steve Spurrier really is one of the good fun guys in college football. Man the 90's were great when he, Osborne, and Bowden all had their teams at the top of the game.

During a time of turmoil...really.....doubt it...anyway what pi$$ poor timing.

How effing weird. There's nothing wrong with him coming now or any other time that he wants to go to a Nebraska game. Being annoyed at the coach/A.D./Chancellor doesn't mean that every damn little thing they do is terrible.

 

I assumed you meant when did a big time coach from another program come to a Nebraska game before.

It's wrong for a boss to do this.....that's all. Beside the fact I never heard of another AD doing this anywhere.

Not good management.

Riley is going to be stewing the whole game, upset that his boss is on a date with another coach. He might be so distracted they accidentally rotate guys into the oline, and forget to rotate running backs. The players will notice and won't have their head in the game, it is going to be an avalanche of emotion, and not the good kind... the sad kind. I bet they cry.

 

If we lose I'm blaming Eichorst 100% for this. He seriously can't expect Riley to overcome such a burdensome distraction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be clear, lol@you

"Ok Steve, on three, ok?.....

 

 

Smile for the camera......3....2....1...."

[Dansker]

No, it's not wrong, and there's nothing negative about it. It's not a bad reflection on anyone involved.

[Danny Bateman]

Lol. There's nothing wrong with this. He's bringing in one of the most respected names in football because they're friends and he's never been here for a night game. It has nothing to do with Riley. If anything he'd probably be jacked to see this "Steve" fellow.

[Elf]

 

 

Just a little odd to me: the timing of this 'visit' is nothing short of terrible if you are Mike Riley (unless he and Mike Riley and Spurrier are good buddies and he is here to offer his support and positive commentary). I would think the rumors would be running wild that Spurrier is here to replace Riley. Why even let something like this get started. An explanation is certainly in order by the AD.

Eichorst was at South Carolina as an Assistant AD when Spurrier was hired there. They have a relationship. They are probably friends. Spurrier is probably in town to watch a football game. Nothing more than that.

 

 

You might be right but from what I'm hearing is he is there to observe our team and possibly consult with us. Doesn't hurt to have a guy with his experience doing such a thing but if true, ideally wouldn't you want Osborne to be the consultant?

 

Ideally? I want something that isn't going to cause controversy. And, ffs, we can't even have a minor rumor that a retired coach might do a bit of consulting w/o bringing up "what would Osborne do"?

 

In this particular situation, if we're going to have someone do some consulting for us I think I'd much rather have someone not associated with the program do this. We're more likely to get an unbiased opinion that way. Speaking strictly for our situation right now, I think Spurrier consulting has the possibility for bias because of his friendship with Eichorst and because I always prefer to avoid even an appearance of impropriety I personally would avoid using a friend to consult.
