Riley, Diaco Dilemma

[Hunter94]

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?

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.

If you meant dilemma, could a mod fix that.

If you meant that as a question could a mod add a question mark?

For me, the tag suffices.

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.

TBH it sure feels like Riley is coaching to save his job right now. 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.

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.

I think its cute how you called Cavanaugh no one...

nm i get it

[Stumpy1]

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.

Cav is gone. 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.

I think if we get to six wins  (5-4 in Big 10), Riley keeps his job for another year, but Cav is gone.

[Redux]

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.

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