Things would have to get much worse before anything would happen IMO. They should act before it does get worse. Quote Link to comment
jessica0 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 1 hour ago, Vince R. said: The back and forth banter between current and ex coaches, mixed with rumors starting to come out about other staff members could force Moos' hand to fire. This is a PR nightmare at this point and it has barely begun. Buckle up friends... Why would any of this result in a firing a few days sooner? Tomorrow will be Wednesday and we are nearing another weekend of college football. After that there are only two games left. What is important right now isn't firing Riley or having him announcement retirement/stepping down it is about getting a coaching search in place so there is a quick turnaround after the Riley stuff goes down.

Because Moos alluded to there being exceptions for why he would fire coaches before the season end. It seems that if this kind of information continues to come out and it intensifies, then he might be forced to fire them now. Hence the bad PR reference. The coaching search is already in place and has been for a month. It is obvious that nobody gives a damn about the remaining games, so it even adds to the possibility of having to fire them sooner than later. Quote Link to comment

It isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It is the job of the current coach to teach his players. The season will be done soon. Quote Link to comment
bugeater17 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 No inside info or anything but I think if we lose to Minnesota we will get an announcement of something next week. Just a gut feeling. Quote Link to comment

alwayshusking Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Decision is likely already made, don't think there will be an announcement until after the Iowa game. 4 Quote Link to comment

Which then plays into the hand of nipping this nonsense in the butt before it gets too big, where thats all they talk about during our games. I am not saying something will be done tomorrow but if this continues and amps up, then I can see where this decision is just sped up and made public sooner so then the conversation can officially be, "who are we getting", rather than this current drama. The Iowa game is a while from now. Some might see it otherwise but this season is grueling for everyone and each day it tends to get worse. I can't see this lasting until Iowa, IMO.

BoNeyard Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 So my question is where was Riley when all this bad tackling and coaching were going on? Maybe Diaco doesn't realize it, but his comments are also a shot at Riley and not just Banker. Quote Link to comment

Maybe Diaco doesn't realize it, but his comments are also a shot at Riley and not just Banker. IF Diaco's comments are true (big if), then that means it was something that was decided above Riley. So the answer to the question would be that Riley was there, going along with something decided by the administration that employs him. That's not the most unrealistic scenario in the world. There's already been plenty of speculation that the administration was making some decisions for Riley that he wouldn't have made himself (the firing of Read and Banker, for example).

The Maudfather Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Barring some sort of Hugh Freeze situation, there's a 0% chance that Moos s#!t cans Riley before the Iowa game. While this whole very public bickering between our current DC and former DC is stupidly embarrassing, it's not exactly cause for termination. This team will finish 5-7 or 4-8 and there will be a press conference on November 25th. 4 Quote Link to comment
