Hunter94 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 OK, i missed the game and Illy isn't any power house, but the D obviously showed up and did a great job. Let's assume we lose 2 or 3 more games, but we are close and the D plays really tough. If we "can" Riley, there goes Diaco, as the new AD picks a new coach and he gets his own guys. Could it be Diaco and his defense play well enough to give Riley another year or two? Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I think it's more of a group effort than on any one coach or coordinator. If they all want another year then they all need to keep the team trending upward and, most importantly, winning. 1 Quote Link to comment

HuskerMav11 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 If we fire Riley, Diaco(and anyone else) sticks around if: 1. They want to stick around 2. The new HC wants them to stick around. /thread 1 Quote Link to comment

Finishing with 7 wins probably saves his job, as long as he fires Cav and probably DL. If they win 8, it might be just cav. If they win 9, no one is packing. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I don't want Riley fired if we lose 2 more games. I want his recruiting class to come here. And losing 2 more games would mean we beat at least 2 of: Iowa, Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State In fact, losing 2 more games might get us to the Big Ten Championship, as long as one of the wins is against Wisconsin. Before anyone who's too stupid to know what a conditional statement is chimes in - I don't think we'll lose only 2 more games. 4 Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I would like Riley to stay so I can see what Diaco's defense can become if we get the likes of Bookie, Parsons, Tutt and a few other defensive studs. 4 Quote Link to comment

This will be his last year in Lincoln. And when he is gone, they need to go throw a bunch of money at an elite Oline coach....... ....................... Hire Bill Callahan. 2 Quote Link to comment
Dbqgolfer Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I think if we get to six wins (5-4 in Big 10), Riley keeps his job for another year, but Cav is gone. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Cav is gone no matter what happens. I wouldn't shed a tear if Langsdorf followed suit, zero reason we can't go out and get a top notch Offensive Coordinator like we could have done 3 years ago. Quote Link to comment

My god, why would they fire the defensive line, I think they've been doing pretty well!? Quote Link to comment
