B.B. Hemingway Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well, this thread is off to a promising start.... Whether you like Riley, or not, he's got us in the door with multiple top-end, national recruits. The kind of recruits that I'd be willing to bet Fleck will never get to look his way in Minnesota. isn't his class at wmu ranked about as high as Nebraska s right now? #1 in the MAC? 247 Composite: Nebraska - 30th - 15 commits W. Mich. - 63rd - 26 commits That's 33 spots lower with 11 more commitments...... Also, their highest rated recruit would be our 2nd lowest rated recruit (according to 247). 3 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Either way, Miles or Fleck, my OP rings true. Can Minnesota take you as well? 3 Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The U of M is a complete dumpster fire...the ENTIRE UNIVERSITY! The academia world does not seem to support the athletic world and the administration is in complete disarray! There are some serious trust issues...living here and having friends that were/are involved in the university it is interesting. I like Fleck, but I would not be shocked if he moves on within 3-5 years again to something much bigger and better is he finds success with the goofs. Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Something Old Something New - seems like we got the Old and others are getting the New up and comers who will make a difference. I like MR but I sometime wonder about NU hiring a guy near the twilight of his career. Seems hard to build that way. How sad it is that Minny is probably going to make a better hire than NU We all know Nebraska hired Riley because he was the anti-Bo. The ego of the nebraska brand got in the way and figured we could make anyone a winner as long as they were a nice guy. Jury is still out on that, if and if Riley fails NU will bring in a new AD and get a proven winner. Quote Link to comment

I will give you the bringing in a new AD, but I really question the proven winner. How many decades ago did we actually do that? Quote Link to comment

If it doesn't, then we have to go back before WWII to find a time when we hired a "proven winner". 1 Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah, Devaney is who I was thinking about. How many decades ago was that? How many coaches have we hired since him? Again, past performance would indicate something drastically different than what was suggested. Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Is OP actually cm husker? My money's on Cornstar.... If one could bet on such things... or find out using IP address........ Quote Link to comment

It was also a slight at how Riley wasn't a proven winner. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 PJ Fleck Overall 30–22 Looks to be just above .500 to me. Time will tell. The MAC isn't the B1G. It is like the same % as Riley... He also had a sweet 1-11 record Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Is OP actually cm husker? No, but you're close... Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Agree to disagree. I'll take Riley. Quote Link to comment
