knapplc Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Read a statement, took no questions. Finished up stating that he knows the players will work hard every day to get better, and he knows he must do the same. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Here's Riley's statement to the press after Williams finished speaking. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Notably from Riley - they considered firing Williams. Riley thinks this is as stiff a penalty for an Asst. Coach as he's seen (obviously with the exception of termination). Said it was a team decision, not just his own. Shawn Eichorst says that Williams committed a major, major failure in judgement. Says we're fortunate to have a coach in Riley who stands for all the right things. 1 Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The suspension should have been longer. It would be interesting to know if he has to attend mandatory AA meetings. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Does he get to be at practice? I'd think the suspension means basically nothing if he's in practice. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 It appears no practice (or recruiting) during the initial suspension. During the season part, it appears everything but game day attendance is allowed. Quote Link to comment
hskrpwr13 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The suspension should have been longer. It would be interesting to know if he has to attend mandatory AA meetings. I agree. Personally, I would've liked to see him suspended for the regular season. If this had been a player, I believe the suspension would've been longer. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I was going to say a player who is of drinking age and manages to get 3 DUIs is a really, really different scenario, but ... ***Riley said that under Nebraska’s current discipline policy, a player charged with a third DUI would get the same punishment Williams did. /double take. Wha-...? When was the last time we had a player DUI case, by the way? I recall Hunter Teafatiller, who I looked up and found that he had 2 DUI arrests in short order prior to the 2008 season. It seems he served a 10-day jail sentence after the season, but played in 12 games that year, including a start in the 2nd game. 1 Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Didn't Reilly have one during off season? Quote Link to comment

There were the guys that got kicked off for weed last year. Niles Paul had an MIP also. Dennard got picked up before the draft... Quote Link to comment
