Anyone wanna bet Michigan IMPROVES and Nebraska

[Hedley Lamarr]

From 1991-1996 the 6 years prior to Riley OSU won a total of 13 games in Rileys 2 years he won 8 games. The recruits in Rileys first 2 classes were the upper classmen that went on to win 11 games in 2000 and won the PAC championship.

From 2001-2006 stanford won 25 games in JHs first 2 years he won 9 games. His classes from those 2 years ended up going 12-1 in 2010 and finishing 2nd in the PAC

People have a hard on for JH who has just as many conf championships and national championships as Mike Riley. Has JH shown the ability to sustain success? Nope he bails whenever he started to get things going.

As was mentioned before they are 2-2 against each other let the guys coach in the B1G before you hate on our HC

true...I agree with you there...but getting into Stanford is kind of hard...kind of really really hard.

Jameis Winston was accepted to Stanford fwiw. I'm Not kidding either

Yeah...I know...and he probably had straight A's in high school. You can be smart and stupid...he proves it! ha

They relaxed their admissions for football when JH was hired. Not by much but a little

Probably not so really, really hard if you are a jock. Pump up your athletic programs and you get more donations, an more publicity for your school.

Last 3 hires -

Solich

18 year assistant an significant role in 3 national championships

Cally

Bolini

"Splash hire" is like a unicorn or perfect woman. There is no such thing.

wrong, JH was a true splash hire!

is this the splash hire that everyone was looking for?

USC, UCLA and Alabama all approached Riley about becoming their head coach.

A decade ago.......

Almost 5 years but fortunately for you and unfortunately for the majority here, knowing what the f#$k one is talking about isn't required to post here

Alabama offer was in December 2002.

Personally, I have come around from being very skeptical about MR to hopeful he can recruit and coach this program back into national relevance. However, there is no question JH is the type of boom hire that will pull recruits from around the B1G and beyond. I happen to think JH is a great hire for Michigan and he has proven he can turn a program around. However, I don't think improving inter-conference competition will hurt, but rather help. After all, the alleged tough schedule has not limited how many teams are ranked in the Top Ten from the SEC. I also think the direct recruiting impact might affect Ohio State and Michigan State more than us. It will not be until 2016 that either Michigan or Nebraska can bring in a class of their own so all of this is such wait and see.

Michigan and Ohio St have the reigns right now and for what Michigan is investing and for what Nebraska has invested makes me wonder about "resources". If your truly a college blue blood football program, then where is Riley's 4 or 5 Million$? If your university and AD actually think this guy is the one, he should have been given $4 mill per year, not $2.7 mill. Proof is in the pudding on this issue.

Valid point. There are posters that bring up this is about Pelini. It's not. Pelini is drawing a nice little paycheck courtesy of his buyout. He's fine. This is about the head coaching market and where Nebraska stands with all our resources, facilities, tradition, and history. Apparently, we found out.

It's not a valid point. We don't have to pay him 4-5m a year. If he wins some big games he will probably be rewarded for it. I know there is something like 1m in bonuses for winning post season. Riley is not a hot name that had a bunch of offers coming at him. We offered what we needed to get him, he isn't doing it for the money and paying him more won't make him better.

So someone is willing to sell you a New prius for 25k, another dealership offers you the exact same prius for 50k. So you spend the extra 25k just to show that you can?

Ps prius was used because Riley drives one

He drives a damn Prius? Of all the things people have said about him, that is the first thing I have heard that deserves criticism.

Silverado? He can go coach the Hawkeyes then.

We want this team to be smash mouth again? Then the coach's truck has to be Built Ford Tough.
