I don’t think they will fire Riley mid season, but if they did Parella is the best choice. 

I think you'd immediately start seeing a tougher product on the field.  I don't see any other choice.

I don't think we have the worst QB in the West, that might go to Thorsen.  But he did lead his team to a win.  Bad coaching on both sidelines.

 

I don't think that we outplayed them at all.  I think Thorsen kept us in the game and we did not take advantage of all his mistakes.   

Well at least he can run.

No emotion at all.  Thats what really causes me concern going forward.

I think they're drugging their ice cream.  Once Riley is gone that should get resolved.

Northwestern scored in OT the way Nebraska of old would score. On the other hand, we went into OT with our thumbs up our %@#$&* hoping we can air it out as if Northwestern did not know what we were going to do.

Holy s#!t Jackson went for a buck fiddy???  Didn’t seem like it

No one brings out my inner masochist quite like the Huskers. They always make watching them hurt so good.

What irks me the most is the careless attitude of our coach versus the fire in the eyes of coach Fitz. We have a pathetic loser leading us. If Moos has any stones, he would fire this miserable gum chewing loser before midnight.

I don't know.  I dont want to make a rash decision, such as letting him go just yet.  I would like about seven more years to decide.  It has only been like 36 games he has coached here which really isn't enough to judge.  Besides he is such a nice guy I really want it to work for him!  

 

Lets face it, you don't really need a running game in football these days, you need a guy who really commits to passing about 55 to 70 times a game.  

 

Also, it is an unreal expectation to think NU can win championships in this day and age.  It is too hard to get the five star guys to Lincoln.  And the local boys are unimportant.  We should lower our expectations, and just have fun with all these close games!

AMEN. There's no fire. I wonder if it's cooled off from all the trips they've made to have ice cream after all our loses this year...

I'm going to be 10x more entertained watching this UCF game

There could very well be something going on behind the scenes between the staff that the public doesn't know about. Riley doesn't teach tackling, Riley isn't the one teaching position fundamentals, Riley isn't designing their diet. Sure, he hired the guys who do, but out of everyone they show on the sidelines, Riley is actually the one with the most WTF attitude. He's always by himself. Is he getting along with his staff? He's going to be the one taking the fall for them.

UCF is stinking it up.

Taking the fall for them? They're his staff. He's 65. Unless the dude has some sort of severe gambling problem, he's not taking any sort of fall. He's ending his career on the same note that he carried through most of it.

 

It's not like losing football games is something new to him. I'm sure he'll be alright.
