StPaulHusker Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Funny how no one gives a damn about the athletes, coaches or their families in situations like this. Just as long as you get your pound of flesh when you want it is all that matters. 2 Quote Link to comment

Agree. Another con would be perception to future head coaches. Riley will coach out the season. 1 Quote Link to comment

GamingGlen Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Sounds like some spoiled princess throwing a temper tantrum and wanting someone thrown out of her party "NOW!" for spilling some kool-aid on her party dress. 1 Quote Link to comment

If Riley is fired before the end of the season (Say early November), it's no different for him and his wife than if he were fired at the end of the year. We aren't going to a bowl game he could coach in and he will still be paid something like $2.5 million till 2021. His assistants aren't dummies. They know a change is going to be made and none of them will be fired till after the season no matter if Riley is fired early or not. The players aren't dummies. They know a change is going to be made. To me, it sure doesn't look like Riley does any in game coaching anyway. So, his absence shouldn't be horribly missed in the last few games. Other than that, all other position coaches and coordinators will remain the same. So, I fail to see how firing Riley before the season or after the season has any negative affects on the already established situation. Now, to your point, I've fired quite a few people. It always should be done with the utmost respect and dignity for everyone involved.....but, that doesn't mean it's not going to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment

That’s my fear. Unless we scream, make yourself heard. You will get Nice “Milk Toast” Mike back for another miserable year. You also Probably lose out on Frost if that’s the popular choice.

jauken Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 I’m old enough where 1 loss was a miserable experience. Look how we have been trained to accept 4 losses as a good year. now 6 losses should keep Riley for another year. Come on guys. We deserve better Quote Link to comment

One of them is a famous Husker. Maybe you've heard of him. Perhaps I'm wrong in thinking that "fans" such as yourself could show a little dignity towards these people and give them the rest of the season and at least try. And not have their families go through the embarrassment any sooner than it needs to happen. Maybe I'd like the players that committed to play for "the greatest" fans to have their entire staff to play for until the end of the season since they "know" there is no post season. There is no need to call yourself a fan and be a heartless prick at the same time. Sometimes it's about more than money. 5 Quote Link to comment

What happens if he goes 6-6 and they bring him back. I just do not see that happening man, Three main reasons why. 1) Mike's former boss has been fired, No AD wants to live and die with a coach they did not hire 2) fans have shown that if he sticks around, the sellout streak will end, and it will. 3) It is year three and this team has regressed. that is a red flag. Even Billy C played for a conference championship in year 3. 1 Quote Link to comment
