Popular Post knapplc Posted November 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2017 2015 started with the first home-opener loss in 30 years and became Nebraska's first losing season in seven years. 2016 started with Nebraska's first top-ten ranking in several years after a 7-0 start, but a 2-4 finish ensured that Nebraska would end, once again, unranked. 2017 is 2015 all over again, only this time there won't be a 5-win asterisk bowl game berth. Nebraska will miss out on its first bowl in ten years. Riley will finish his Husker career at .500, 19-19. The Riley Era - It started bad and went from there. 15 Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Crap show. Nothing more and nothing less. Good for Diaco owning up. D has been a disaster from jump. No better (worse actually) under you than Banker.....and that's saying something. Why anyone thought a .504 coach from Oregon St ws going to come to NU and turn things around is beyond me.

Redux Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I felt so much better about this program after 2015 and the bowl win. Even though several games went wrong, we were finally on an upward trend instead of the stalemate purgatory. No more blowouts, recruiting was going to be better, and all was good. Then 2016 happened. We were 7-0 and it didn't even feel good. Then Wisconsin....then Ohio State.....then Iowa. I didn't watch the bowl game, hoenstly forgot it was on and had to work. My interest was at a low it hadn't been at in a long long time. Then this year. I again convinced myself that we had made the right adjustments. Then we started playing football and I immediately lost most of my optimism...again. I shoved it down, wins a win. Then we lost to Oregon. Then to NIU. That's when I gave up, it was too much. Since then it's just gotten worse and worse every week. I don't know who our next coach will be, I just know it needs to be a quality hire we can all be proud of. 3 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Best thing about this game was that I DVR’d it. That crap only wasted a hour on that crap! -Crusader Husker Quote Link to comment

Micheal Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I hope 90% of the board was not duped by the Riley hire. When he was announced and I had to Google his name, not a good sign. Quote Link to comment

I doubt too many people were "duped" and thinking he was the next Saban. My guess is that if you gave a list of potential candidates that were available, MR would have been low on the list among posters/fans. I didn't love the hire (at the time) and wont miss him when they can his rear on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment
secretasianman Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 If 90% of the fans were duped, then so was the press and Riley’s coaching peers. The narrative when he was hired was how Riley always did more with less and the majority opinion was that if he was put in a place that had all of the tools to win, then he would . There was hardly a negative word to be said about him from anyone. We’ve seen the result, and yeah.. many were fooled. 1 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I didn't have to google him, but I was disappointed in the hire. We needed a splash and got a plunk. 1 Quote Link to comment

He quit during his final three years at OSU and it continued and DONU. He needs to go. Personally, I think he should be ashamed of the coaching job he's done at DONU. He should have retired 6 years ago instead of just hanging around. Quote Link to comment

The "press" are mostly fools with an agenda or just plain ignorant of facts- i.e. the Nebraska Media on this hire and what about the National sports media that still believe we gave out county Scholarships in the 80-90s? Riley was a nice guy so what coach wouldn't go along with the "false" narrative- Erickson actually was the one that did more with less in beaverville- but that doesn't fit the narrative to point that out. Regardless, I wasn't buying it because I knew the facts- not saying I didn't hope he'd win- but my hopes were a lot like playing the lottery, I knew they wouldn't come true- so it was only a matter of time, and in that respect, Riley exceeded my expectations, because I thought he could sell this snake-oil into 2018 Quote Link to comment
