So what I was getting at, ( it obviously has been taken too literally) is the principle or idea that you shouldn't take money for doing nothing, and the point it would make to him if he were asked to give back. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mike Riley hasn't "done nothing." He's been here coaching every day since he was hired, doing the best he can. He hasn't had the results you or he wanted, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been doing anything. If absolutely nothing else, he has been an amazing ambassador of Nebraska football for three years, running this program with grace and class, so much so that after he was fired the new AD allowed him to stand at Nebraska's podium, wearing Nebraska's gear, and speak to the media unfettered. Why? Because Moos trusts that whatever Riley says, it will be to the benefit of the school that just fired him. Think about how rare that is. He wasn't marched out with security, he wasn't summarily dismissed on the tarmac, he was given just short of a hero's sendoff. During his time here he cultivated relationships with high schools across the country, many of which we had no inroads with before Riley's arrival. Doors are open now, thanks to Mike Riley, that we never had the opportunity to walk through before. It is beyond the pale to accuse that man, whose only fault was not to win enough games, of taking money he didn't earn. If anything, Riley was underpaid. 18 Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It's not crazy to think Riley might voluntarily offer a refund for being one of the worst coaches in program history. Riley is no Gary Anderson though. Anderson was at least honest admitting he couldn't get the job done whereas Riley stated he thought he could turn our program around after running it into the ground. Quote Link to comment
