Could it be that some of you are so anti Bo Pelini and his crew that ANYONE who comes in here is an automatic upgrade.
DING DING DING...we have a winner. There are folks so anti-Bo that when a potentially s****y hire is staring them in the face, they choose not to see it.
I was willing to give the Riley hire a chance, provided the right coordinators and staff showed up under him--again, our AD said money wasn't a concern.
But when Riley is bringing his defensive buddies from OSU with him...the same ones that choked against Eastern Washington, NOT Wisky, and the same ones the OSU fans wanted run out on a rail for incompetence...it's becoming clear this is quickly becoming a s****y hire and the mistake to end all mistakes with this progam.
Yes, I am more excited about anyone's first year than I would be for a Bo Pelini eighth. And that would hold if the entire OSU staff came to Lincoln and brought their entire recruiting class with them.
Bo Pelini was judged on his performace as the Nebraska Coach. Riley is being judged on speculation, since he's only been the HC here for two days. The two things are totally different.
Also, before you Bo Pelini supporters get too critical of Riley's staff, let's remember who was on Bo's staff:
- His brother
- A golf coach
- An intern
- Another intern
You may not like Riley bringing coaches from OSU, but at least they are experienced coaches.
