About four times a year, the elder Foltz liked to make the 100-mile drive to Lincoln to watch his son practice. But on this particular day, Riley had given the team a surprise day off. Gerald was walking down a hallway with Sam when they heard someone yelling and running toward them. It was Riley. He told Sam to show his dad around the facilities, and heck, take him up to his office. 1 Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 That line about the defensive line going to Kaz's house for dinner really says a lot. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 That line about the defensive line going to Kaz's house for dinner really says a lot. Alot of that had to do with Hughes. That guy was a bad fit from day 1. Quote Link to comment

BoNeyard Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 If Riley goes into your family room to recruit you kid, how do you not feel comfortable and confident in your son going to not only play football for at least 3 years for Riley, but to know Riley will be there for your child off the field and grow as a person. 3 Quote Link to comment
GBRHouston Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I can see Riley becoming one of the best recruiters in the nation come a couple years from now. Quote Link to comment
HuskerMav11 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It's nice not having an egotistical, ass hat for a head coach. 5 Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I can see Riley becoming one of the best recruiters in the nation come a couple years from now. You mean as a retiree? That's not to be snarky, but how long do we really think he has left in the tank? I did like to hear that they are refocusing their recruiting efforts and doubling down on relationship building within the 500 mile radius (think he said "two tanks of gas" radius). I just hate that evne if he gets it going, he's gone in 5 to 10 years and we don't have much of a succession plan in sight. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Do schools usually have a succession plan in place in the current coach's 2nd year? Quote Link to comment

RunMickeyRun02 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Very proud he is our head coach. The article made me cry. I wish I could handle some of the things he's dealt with and be so up beat about stuff no matter what. 1 Quote Link to comment
RunMickeyRun02 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Do schools usually have a succession plan in place in the current coach's 2nd year? Good ones have a plan for coaches who are 60+ My guess is it's Langs job if he wants it, but we're assuming everything goes well and he'll go out on his own terms. As much as I love the guy it is still college coaching and no matter how nice a guy he is if he doesn't win enough games his "last adventure" could be over before he wants it too. But he'd probably take it in stride like everything else. Not saying that's what's going to happen or what I want to happen (far from it) just stating the reality of the situation. 1 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Anybody who knows anything about our program knows the drill around here; don't act like it's anything otherwise, cm husker: The plan is, if he doesn't perform up to expectations, he gets canned. If he does, he stays. End of discussion. Quite the red herring you attempted to plant, though. Quote Link to comment
