Okay, the thread I saw had a poster saying it and he made it clear it was a rumor from the Stanford boards. It would make sense though, he went to school there. Doesn't really seem all that interested in coming to Nebraska. Maybe he ends up here though. Quote Link to post
HuskerNation1 2,342 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 I am not sure if many of you are following the recruiting over the past week, but Coach Ryan Held is literally everywhere...coast to coast in consecutive days trying to get to as many prospects as possible. I am not sure if the guy ever sleeps, but he deserves major kudos. 1 Quote Link to post
soup 162 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 After the NIU lose, and subsequent firing of the coaching staffs "cover" Why put forth the effort, knowing that you are going to be fired at the end of the year. Sure you can do it for the kids, and to a certain extent, that happened. If Eichorst wasn't fired until after say the Minnesota game, I think this whole season would have looked a little bit different. It would have been a 5-7 or even a 6-6 season. (NW game for sure would have swung the other way) I do feel however those things progressed exactly by design though. There was a reason that Eichorst was fired early on because Bounds and Green knew that would tank the rest of the season and make what has transpired the past couple of weeks much easier to make happen. Bottom line, I can't fault the previous coaching staff for not really giving a rip the rest of the season when they knew they were out. They were a lame duck coaching staff for 9 weeks of the season.

He has so many relationships with junior colleges and high school coaches, and his former teammates at NU have nothing but great things to say about him. Quote Link to post

Coach McBride touched on Riley and his staff Not teaching the players basic fundamentals: run blocking, tackling, etc Not teaching them hand placement, footwork, gap responsibility How assistant coaches weren't allowed to coach No individual periods for teaching Those were the ones I remember after listening to the entire segment. I can't believe that I think even less of the former coaches now, than I did before. No wonder this team was so terrible. Now, back to the thread. I came away wt the same feeling. Why were they here - apparently just to get a pay check and ride out their time to retirement. The saddest point: Wasted years for those who graduated under their 'leadership'. The 'missed opportunity' cost is huge here - on a personal level for those players and as a team as a whole. A huge waste. 1 Quote Link to post

bugeater17 714 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Does anyone have the info on how Held is covering so much ground?? Does he have a private plane flying him around? Is he driving and/or have an assistant to drive him around? Would be really interested to know how this man is doing it. Nonetheless, love the effort. Quote Link to post
