Sipple: NU Leadership Must Get on Same Page

[Hayseed]

That's why we need a unifying person, like Karen Jennings or Darin Erstad, who everyone will get behind to represent the university. There are plenty of lawyers around who would be glad to work out the legalities, but it would sure help if the department had an ambassador who everyone knows and trusts.

Terry Pettit.

Hahahahahaha

I am afraid Terry Pettit would not get an interview and would not even apply. He left with some untidy off the court issues that were kept very quiet. I imagine those long term volleyball fans can advise but I feel it best to not mention the details (just think Frank Solich if you would like a hint).

Okay then........the people I mentioned are capable of keeping their pants on ,so I think I did okay as a general guideline of the kind of person we would want as the face of Husker sports.

Gonna repeat what I put in another thread.

Listening to the Husker Online podcast last night while working out, and they were not exactly thrilled with Harvey and Shawn. It's not like they're wanting Bo back either. These guys have made it known that they saw alot of shortcomings under Bo, and haven't shied away from blaming relevant issues on him either, all while doing alot of praising of Riley and Co during the offseason for how they handled things. They didn't even discuss the current product on the field in relation to the AD and Chancellor either, they were just appalled at the lack of professionalism and timing displayed by the two had guys. Sean Callahan said that Harvey doing a OWH interview where he was discussing recruiting and trashing the former coaches was bizarre and extremely ill-timed. His comment was something along the lines of Harvey knowing less about recruiting than any coach or assistant on the staff, ever. They also took Eichorst to task for his complete 180 on "commenting during the season" and the weirdness of releasing the statement of support right before Riley went on for his PC on Monday.

So what, as fans, can we actually do to get the board and President to step up and stop this train wreck?

These comments are literally 'off the deep end' and way out there in the Twillight Zone people! Come on. We lose a few games by a couple dozen points total and now you want to burn the entire University to the ground? LOL You are totally NUTS! Bonkers!!! Insane!!! Crazy!!!! Looney Tunes!!!~! Wacko!!!

Say that like its a bad thing.There are a million fans just like me. This coaching hire is a disaster and some one needs to have the guts to step up and do something about it that has the influence to do so.

You're off by several zeros.

Interesting. So you believe I am the minority in the fan base believing Riley was a mistake and wanting a new staff sooner as opposed to later?

Yes, the opinion you expressed a few minutes ago is not shared by millions of people.

There are a million fans just like me. This coaching hire is a disaster and some one needs to have the guts to step up and do something about it...

Well, I said a million. If you look at fan pages it could be argued that number is higher as a proportion of the fan base that is millions. There does not seem to be a lot of the wait and see crowd left. Maybe if we get a couple wins that will change. We can see what tomorrow brings my Husker brother, I have to go to the game now. Go Big Red!

No doubt lots of people are unhappy. But the number calling Riley a "disaster" is not large, and is propped up on forums like this by a small handful of posters in every single thread and post.

I need to get ready to leave for the game myself. Have a good time. Go Big Red!

Poll on other pages running 2-1 in favor of firing him now.

If there are 1.5 million husker fans, I think it's safe to assume a million think the hire was/is disastrous

NU football began declining when we let a former football coach hire the next one. Think about it.
