It doesn't bother me at all that this isn't going to significantly reduce NU's payments to him. Riley would probably be a volunteer coach at Oregon State, if it were allowed. I know a way to make this all better. Lets take the Eichorst buyout away from him and use it to pay off Riley since that was his dumbass hire. 2 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I would pay him $5M to not coach at Nebraska. $60k a year is a bargain 5 Quote Link to comment

Kiyoat Husker Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Quote Riley’s contract also states that “within a reasonably brief period following termination, Coach shall use his or her best efforts to seek and secure substantially comparable employment including the customary and reasonable terms and conditions of compensation at the new employment, without structuring or timing compensation to avoid mitigation.” For example, if Riley were to take a position that paid $600,000 annually, the $50,000 per month would lower the NU obligations from $170,000 to $120,000. This was from an article back in November, before he was fired. Kaipust got the $50 K right, but the time-frame wrong. Per YEAR. http://www.omaha.com/huskers/football/nebraska-owes-mike-riley-compensation-similar-to-the-costs-involved/article_21f71840-c643-11e7-84a5-3b411889e684.html Edited January 12, 2018 by Kiyoat Husker 1 Quote Link to comment
Big Red 40 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) 50k a year for the lousy job he did here would have been about right too . On one hand it’s a crying shame we have to waste money paying him off , but on the other Its worth whatever the cost was to get him gone . Edited January 12, 2018 by Big Red 40 Quote Link to comment

Oregon State, contrary to their football history, is a P5 school, and I'm sure as hell that the average salary for his position at a P5 school is a lot more than $50k/year. BTW, Kiyoat Husker, your sig makes me depressed every time I see it. Edited January 12, 2018 by VectorVictor Quote Link to comment
Crazyhole Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 38 minutes ago, Saunders said: Yeah, usually there’s some sort of market value clause. Yep. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen and would be an easy win for the university. It's almost as obvious as if he were to work for 1$ per year and is an obvious breach of contract. If they choose to pursue it (they wont) it could negate the entire buyout clause. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I believe Greg Schiano has the same title and he made $700k last year. Sorensen is pretty dumb to think that $48k would be anywhere close unless we are talking about high school or D3 football. 2 Quote Link to comment

I can't imagine the average salary of a d1 assistant coach is under 100,000, let alone an assistant head coach. Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 732 UCLA Pac-12 Scott White $107,500 Scott White with UCLA was the lowest paid assistant coach in the PAC12 last year. Quote Link to comment
