Erickson won with kids Riley recruited like Chad Johnson.  

 

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.

20 years? Did an average team:

• go undefeated and win the MNC
• finish #2 in the nation
• play in the MNC game
• win 9 games 7 years in a row

We are average now because we hired an average coach. It time for that to change.

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.

Are relatives of the HC allowed to post here? When Bo was fired, not a single person on this board mentioned MR as a candidate. You know why? Because he has been average to bad his entire career. When he was hired, many on this board predicted exactly what has happened despite being guaranteed that MR was here to immediately win championships.

I'm thinking the OP is getting wishful thinking and reality cornfused.

Sorry but this dog won't hunt.

Great.  Another thread about why and how we should keep this goof as our HC one more year.  3rd year, ND was playing for a title.  3rd year ND was undefeated and playing for a National title.  Year 3, we are 4-4 and with some luck, we might make a bowl game at 6-6.  Where is the comparison?  

 

Ok.  OK.  I see where this is going.  Case and point being made here is ...................................................nothing.

threads like this are making me wonder why I browse here anymore.  Sad times for a Husker fan. Pretty much rock bottom I would say.

The Browns fired Belichick then what happened???!!!! Are we sure we're not firing the greatest coach of all-time??!!

[Big Red Commie]

Riley is not Kelly-i.e., he`s nvr won anything.  Plus he doesnt have ND  talent to work with, and we`ve been scratching out crappy wins to our crappy 3rd tier peers(like the other nite) since he got here, plus Frost is the homerun hire/hot commodity as we speak that we absolutely cannot miss out on.

 

No, fire Riley, make the nitemare stop.

Comparing Mike Riley to Brian Kelly is like comparing a Scooter to a Ferrari. MR is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy over his head. I always wonder if he is actually coaching during the week. I bet he is reading bedtime stories to our players. Two weeks of practice definitely showed this past Saturday.

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?

 

 

GBR!!!

I really don't see losing many recruits if Frosty comes home. Wouldn't you want to play for the best young up and coming coach in college football?  I know I would.

We are down to 10.  Define "many"

I obviously didn’t have an exact number in mind. I was speaking hypothetically. I did not know we we’re down to 10... Damn that sucks.

I agree, tmfr15. But the die was cast when Riley's loss to NIU got his AD fired. The Riley era is sunk.

It does suck, but let's get some guys in here that can teach players to run, catch, block, and tackle. I'm tired of watching s#!tty football.
