So you'd rather have Solich than Osborne. That's what you're saying about Riley. You can make that claim, but it's ridiculous.

Yeah, because TO was ready to retire and wanted to move on with other things.  I want that for everyone that has the chance to do that in their life.  Be super successful and realize that you would like to try something else and embrace a new challenge.

Would you expect a coach to get better or worse toward the end of his 2nd year and into his third year of a program?

I'm on board with what you're saying, but teach is cherry picking data to support his "always .500 coach" narrative. I'm showing that I can cherry-pick the data to get a totally different outcome.

I am not cheery picking, I didn't bring up his last 10, it was brought up in this thread.

 

Please, use his entire career.  PLEASE

But for Riley you hope he moves on regardless of how he performs. I'm pointing out that isn't really what you should want if you want the Huskers to succeed.

If he wins it all and retires I would be a happy fan and thrilled for him for accomplishing something that amazing.

If he stinks it up and retires I will be a happy fan because the coaching search stuff is fun to follow and then you have the excitement of a new coach.

come on now don't let facts and trends get in the way of stochastic hope- 11-1 baby Mike's our man

Right now I hope Mediocre Mike does one of two things...

 

1.  Goes 11-1, makes the playoff, wins the NC and retires.

2.  Finishes the season with some lame record and retires.

 

Is cherry picking the same as not including the intent of an over-all statement

I realize we have a new offensive scheme and a new DC, but I was frankly expecting more to start the 2017 season.  But then I wondered why I should be expecting more, as the 2016 season ended horribly.  With that said, when you look at our last 10 games, Nebraska is 5-5, with our best win being a 28-7 victory over Maryland.  To me beating mediocre programs like Maryland should be a base expectation, and not the biggest win in the last 10 games, and then I realize that is what this program has become and the bar has not been raised over the past few seasons.  I am still hopeful that better talent can turn things around, but I question whether we have the coaches to win on the game field.

What's so said, is like you said...NU has become that base expectation of most teams now.  That's friggin pitiful.

You are cherry-picking. If Riley was 9-1 over that span, you wouldn't have mentioned it. Riley is 16-12 at Nebraska, which is .571

Would you be happier for one of your two scenarios or if Riley wins it all and continues as the HC?

Yes, and you're missing teach's intent: that he wants Riley to retire regardless of results.

If that is what he wanted I would be happy for him.  My guess, since he said he came here for the reason of taking a "final run" is that he would win it all, retire and move back home.

Yea cuz if your not on board with se and riley there is no way you are a true husker fan. Your irrational, do not have a clue and hope the huskers fail so you can be happy.

Not sure you you're responding to. Is anybody making that argument?

Taken without context you mean?

I don't care what his career record is, only what he does at Nebraska. Why would it matter what he's done before when evaluating him as the Husker coach?

you're kidding right?
