Grantland: Ranking College Football’s New Head Coaching Hires

if there's a guy-to-guy, i'll bring the domestos and 'chos.

I don't care what his "disadvantages" were. He had losing seasons in 3 of his last 5 years and lost to two FCS schools. That he is not highly regarded as someone to become the head coach at the University of Nebraska is hardly surprising.

Thank you.

After all, The Sker was all too eager to point what disadvantages the previous coach had to deal with.

ouch. Chalk it up to Polo. This one is over.

Nice post........

I've been curious as to why Oregon State suddenly seems to care about football. They are paying Andersen a million more than they were paying Riley. As soon as Riley leaves they announce a huge plan for facility upgrades. I'm not going to lie, that's part of what makes me nervous about the hire.

Also a 61 year old is not an up and coming head coach, you know what he does, you know who he wants to work with, etc. That is why his hire is low ranking in my opinion. Chances are he doesn't stay coaching long enough to get the big turn around we Husker fans hope for.

There was a bunch of booster money that came in just after Riley left. I have heard nothing of the context of the timing of the money, but that and the higher salary might have come from the AD actually having to look and see what the going market rate was for coaches.

Not examining the whole situation usually makes one look the fool.After all, The Sker was all too eager to point what disadvantages the previous coach had to deal with.

I've not claimed Pelini had any disadvantages......nor do I have any concern for Pelini. I'm sure he's doing just fine in Ohio on a predominantly Nebraska paid salary.

eichorst was willing to pay a lot to get rid of bo. and now he has his guy in riley.

Well that and he's insinuating that this was some sort of master plan, to have NU pay him while he does his dream work at Podunk U.

Classic long con. And we all fell for it.

There might also be some Pac 12 Network money starting to funnel in as well.

Those facility upgrades were long known about, not just decided upon, IIRC.

And also, it still leaves them far behind.
