NoLongerN Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'd love to see a follow-up question to Mike Riley on this ... get his take on all he meant by that. As one who was on the Frost bandwagon to have him be the next Husker coach, this type of statement makes me wonder what all those folks who said Scott Frost didn't have enough experience to coach at the time ... would they take an "unproven" Frost or the "experienced" Mike Riley. I fully realize that Frost would not have come and that the upper management was so poor that Frost probably wouldn't have even have wanted the job. Yet, when you hear this statement now and the .500 type football record and the real demise and tarnish of the program just in the Riley years ... I wonder what all the, "Frost doesn't have the experience to coach yet" folks would have said about taking Frost over Riley. Thankfully, Frost will be a coach who knows that he and his staff are the best place to develop the character of a kid and develop them into the best football player they can be ... Riley obviously didn't believe that of himself of his staff. 1 Quote Link to comment

PaulCrewe Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Pretty sure this quote occurred after he decommitted and the writing was on the wall for Hip Hip. Just let it die already. 6 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Can we move this to the other sports forum or merge it with Bookie's thread? Frankly I'm tired of hearing about his recruitment. 4 Quote Link to comment

On top of that, Osborne told Frost to stay at Stanford for spring camp, because he thought it was what was best for him. We don't know the context. This was October. Riley probably figured he was going to get fired and couldn't promise Bookie anything about anything. 6 Quote Link to comment

There were still people believing that Riley should stick around in some capacity with recruiting or similar to fulfill his contract with new staff. This shows exactly why a total house cleansing was needed... https://mobile.twitter.com/barstoolhusker/status/935225494500503558 2 Quote Link to comment

This is a whole lot of nothing. And some people (fans) only wanted him to stay because they felt sorry for him. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I am sooo over the numerous ways Riley or Pelini or Callahan screwed this program over. If I never see another mention of any of them it will be too soon. Looking forward only 6 Quote Link to comment

Let's rehash this in three years when Nebraska has won another conference title and competed respectably on a national stage in the playoffs. Then we can all look back on Bo & Riley and the guy before Bo as oddities, something to wonder about but not to lose sleep over. 3 Quote Link to comment
