Mike Reilly won't be fired

[Bowfin]

Anyone that thinks they have a inkling of comprehending what it takes to be the Athletic Director at this university is lying to themselves, much less the entire message board.

Not anyone at all can have an inkling of comprehending what it takes??? Not even Eichorst?...

Which leads us to this conundrum: If nobody has an inkling of comprehending of what it takes, then how do you know that?...

 

[gdubs4nu]

Eichorst is no better than Pederson. His top priority for the program is to have a guy who is media-friendly and who won't ruffle any feathers, someone who will smile and be polite and say all the right things. Whether or not we win or lose, whether we're a top program or not, is all secondary.

Anyone that thinks they have a inkling of comprehending what it takes to be the Athletic Director at this university is lying to themselves, much less the entire message board. Running an athletic department goes way beyond a football program, much less 8 games into a new coach's first season. I point and laugh at people that regurgitate this sentiment because it's really low hanging fruit. If that's the only thing you can say to imply you know what you're talking about, you're probably not worthy of an intelligent conversation in the first place.

Well, now that "Shawn E." has gotten that out of his system...we can get back to the discussion at hand.

We're forgetting a coach that has Nebraska ties and has won multiple national titles...

Turner Gill

There ya go! Fixed it for you! *dusts hands off*

Seriously, though, Gill deserves another FBS shot. Not sure it should be at DoNU...but the reason he ultimately failed at Kansas was at least 60% political--very caustic climate down there, as many of the boosters of substance didn't take too kindly to a man of color leading their program.

As for head coach, GOAT is on to something with Richt. He'd be willing to bring on specialists and folks like Ed Ogereon(sp) to help fill in gaps and shore up deficiencies (like recruiting) that Nebraska has to contend with.

I would be in favor of Turner Gill. I liked what he did with lowly Buffalo in a short period of time. Agree also that he wasn't given a fair chance at Kansas.

We need to get back to the Nebraksa's philosophy of doing things

It's time that you accept that Nebraska doesn't have a way of doing things. Accept that the the triple option is long gone. Hell, even accept that the run game is not going to be the first option under Langsdorf. It's not at all what we are used to but I think Nebraska fans could use someone proving to them that something other than the triple option can work at this university. It's absolutely vital to move forward. Your desire to hold onto something that doesn't exist is silly. Tom Osborne and his approach was a once in a lifetime success. If Riley can get a QB and a team to execute that pass to set up the run, he will be successful. 10 other universities in this conference prove it can be done. It's absolutely imperative to break the idiotic mentality that people cling onto with complete ignorance that the 80's and 90's are going to return.

You are right. It is time we accept losing to Illinois, NW, Wisconsin, BYU, and other unranked teams. It time to accept a losing season. It has been 18 years since TO has been here, and this is the worst start since he left. If fact, this is the worst start since leather helmets (almost).

It is EXACTLY time for you to accept it, because it happened. There are reasons for it. Chalk it up. Want more. Cheer for your team and know that they're going to get better. However, don't discount that Northwestern, BYU, and Wisconsin have all been ranked at some time this season and Nebraska actually lost all their games by an average of less than a field goal. You know what hasn't happened? 52-17 or 62-28 in Pelini's first year. 70-10 or 30-3 in Callahan's first year. I'm not even going into the rest of the blow ups they've had.

You want to simplify it to wins and losses? Fine. You're entitled. Anyone that reads between the lines sees that this team will turn a corner and it's not gonna be because of fans that constantly call for someone to be fired. It's absurd to behave like that.

Craig Bohl

yeah the same guy who was let go at Nebraska for sucking so much and currently is proving that being a head coach in the fbs is way harder than in the fcs. Yeah let's go with that guy...

We already turned two corners. From great to Above average, and from above average to below average. I hope someone has enough sense to find a coach that can drive.

[Mavric]

Gill took over a bad Kansas team and made them worse.

He just wasn't given enough time to get "his" players and install "his" system. Just having a worse record in two years doesn't mean he wouldn't have been able to turn it around if he'd just had more time.

Plus, Kansas doesn't have the facilities or budget to really allow him to do what he wants. You just can't get the recruits you really need to compete in Lawrence. But if he were just given a chance at a bigger school with the resources he really needed, you'd see what he could really do as a coach.

Mavric, what you said is oddly familiar.
