“The wolves were at the door,” Kill Anderson joked.
New coach Mike Riley helped stave them off.
Once Riley took the job — five days after Pelini was fired — several coaches called from other teams and said, if the two stuck with Nebraska, they’d be in a great situation because of Riley.
“The competition advocated for Coach Riley — and Avery paid attention to that,” Kill Anderson said.
Riley visited Eric and Avery in their homes before he visited any other prospects. Eric on Dec. 8. Avery on Dec. 9. Riley’s pitch to Avery actually started with a long talk with Avery’s younger sister, Asia.
By the end of the second night, the families talked: Would they take visits to other schools or choose to stick with Nebraska — whether Warren was retained or not?
They picked the Huskers.
