I unfortunately do not see it this way. I don't think Riley would tell a recruit "I'm not getting fired" And do so in a way to mislead a young man. I also don't think a recruit who isn't even committed to Nebraska would think so in depth to come out with a statement into saying a coach isn't going to get fired and have it be some hint that it lays the groundwork for a later decommitment.MR isn't "getting" fired. He has already been fired, but the effective date is the Monday after the IOWA game.
Unfortunately the reality here may just be Riley is completely clueless and does believe he needs and will get his 4-5 years. If that is the case then it makes the end of November seem that much farther away because there is that little thought that maybe he is retained for at least one more year.
