Steps in firing a coach

[Hans Gruber]

A lot of people seem to want Mike Riley fired. The first step though would be firing Shawn Eichorst. Nebraska won't fire Riley without also firing Eichorst. So if you're looking for the dominoes to fall, that would be the first one.

 

ADs rarely get to replace more than one fired football coach.

Paging Mr. Alberts...

MR is not going to make it the Big 12 is starting and we are looking lost.

To think we fired Solich!     Never went 10-3 since!   

Ad hired a dud and I knew that living in Oregon.

Yep...Frank was a solid coach, and a true steward of the Devaney/Osborne legacy.

and Osborne tried to instill that again, and despite his meanyness towards the press and ahole fans Pelini never won less than 9 and even if you think Pelini should have been fired what we have now is Callahan II

History should be a predictor and learning lessons for the future-

I was wholeheartedly against firing Pelini at the time he was fired.  Yes, the guy was less than perfect, but had a ton of potential.

To be fair, I think we saw the ceiling with Bo at Nebraska. It was 9-10 wins per season.

9-10 wins sounds pretty good right about now, anybody think we'll get that?

I'm not disputing that. You said potential. I'm just saying we say Nebraska at its absolute best under Bo. Potential implies it could be even better.

 

I don't want Bo or Riley. I want someone that consistently wins 9-10 games like Bo, but also has years better than that occasionally.  I'm fine with a few 7-8 win seasons if they are balanced out by 11 or 12 win seasons.
