Hilltop Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Not likely but it would make for a heck of a come back story... movies would be made and we would be the bad guys that almost ruined it lol. Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Brian Kelly had a history of winning at multiple levels. Try again. His Grand Valley State program would got back and forth with Northwest Missouri State. Quote Link to comment
Otterpop Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just because you guys want Frost doesn't mean Riley is a bad coach. First off he took over a program with little talent in underclass when he came in . Don't say their was talent or we would be playing so many sophomores and freshmen right now. There was 1 senior drafted last year maybe 1 this year so please tell me where all the talent is. He's the only coach to win at Oregon St. since 1970 which all other coaches have 33% winning percentage. He also was in offered the USC job. So to say he's a terrible coach it's not true. Maybe not want you guys want at Nebraska but the reality is whoever is coach next year will have a better team because of all the depth they will have from this year. Quote Link to comment

He is an average coach. Nebraska can't succeed with an average coach. Talent is subjective. No one wins this argument Dennis Erickson won at Oregon St. In fact he was the first to do so Perhaps him turning down USC proves his inability to make good decisions 2 Quote Link to comment

Also Nebraska has been an average program for 20 yrs. My biggest concern with Riley is the age thing by the time it will take to make Nebraska Elite he will be retiring. If you can get Frost do it but if you can't don't get rid of Riley because he's bringing in good talent maybe hire a top notch OC that's young and have him take over like Oklahoma did.

Chad Johnson was a 1-year player at Oregon State and was recruited by Dennis Erickson out of Junior College. He and TJ Houshmandzadeh were both high profile JUCO recruits that helped Erickson at Oregon State. 1 Quote Link to comment

4skers89 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Riley will be available so OSU can snatch him back up. Riley can get his original band back together. 1 Quote Link to comment

He's an average coach, who hired average assistants, bringing in average players, and getting average results. It's what he's been his whole career. 2 Quote Link to comment

If you're lazy and want to ignore his resume go ahead, but you could also look at Central Michigan or Cincinnati. His lifetime record is 237-89 (73%).

Branno Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I love this. We should keep Riley after a 5-7 season, a 9-3 season, and whatever happens this year. Why? Because ND kept on a coach that took them to a national championship game. I'm starting to think maybe we should just not allow new threads (other than the prayer and game day threads) to be created until December. 1 Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) My friend had a very nice Cadillac three years, then it had a flat tire. After he fixed the flat tire, the car was great. I bought an old crappy car three years ago, and for three years, it has run like garbage. I wonder if I should sell it, or hope that it will run great next year?

Hunter94 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Moos would be under the gun right away, if he kept Riley.......the fan base would be miserable with MR for another year..........ugh 1 Quote Link to comment
