We aren't paying Riley that much and are getting around a 30 million dollar bump in revenue this year with the Big Ten media contract.

Do you really think that after nearly 15 years of knee jerk reactions by the athletic department AND the BOR's, that fans are going to continue to donate and spend $?  There is an end to the gravy train.

Yes, Riley will be back next season, without question (and rightly so).

 

Rightly so?  Do you see Nebraska trending UPwards?  1 win (which they were very fortunate to get) in the last 5 tries.  Someone said in another thread that they were 11 yards away from being 0-3.  I see a trend, but not one that includes asking a coach back for year.

I'm not sure of your point. Are you saying donations go down if we fire Riley? I might argue the other way.

 

My personal opinion is that Solich was the only knee jerk reaction.

5 wins is the high mark. We are that bad.  Rutgers is winning 51-0 right now, all be it to morgan st.  It shows they dont let down.  Purdue is putting it on a weak mizzou but again taking care of business.   Minnesota. ..taking care of business....

Bring in Rimington, or Alberts. Bring in Scott Frost. Give him a blank check for assistants, and let's get this damn thing turned around. 

You just said what a lot of fans are thinking.                                               GBR!!!

The Athletic Dept has money coming out their arse. Those extensions won't stop anything.

They certainly wont but you can't keep buying out contracts and firing coaches.  For one thing, we can never quite catch up with recruiting if keep firing guys.  We're going to have to ride Riley down.

Oh, it is. You're right. Shook my head when I seen it earlier.

Heard on the Big Red Reaction, that in three years of Riley (didn't hear the amount of games) that we have trailed at half 16 times.  Wow.

Yes we can, when we're making significantly more money than we were before. 

 

Of course, this isn't ideal...but then again, no one held Eichorst accountable for not actually doing a legitimate coaching search...so...

The extension happened before the season even started
