Where We Speak Less-than-Fondly of Former Coaches

[billdozer15]

Do you know of many women who coach football? Other than Scott’s Frost mom, that is.

Tongue in cheek my friend. People around here are getting softer than a Mike Reilly ice cream social.

It's also really unfair to criticize Barney Cotton for his head coaching tenure, but he is tied for the worst winning % in school history, so he can also suck it.

Try answering the question. Why do you call him Michelle?

It's a generic insult to males named Micheal. Micheal Riley becomes Michelle Riley. Kind of like the Longhorns get written as Longwhorns, and such.

I’m aware of that. I just wanted @billdozer15 to explain why calling Riley a female name is considered an insult.

Alonzo Branch and Adolph J. Lewandowski can suck it. 

Bernard Masterson can suck it, too.

I don't care how seriously you guys are taking this thread, I'm gonna keep going.

I'm going to speak glowingly about a former coach, and say this *might* be his best contribution to the program:

I think if Michelle Riley coached the team for the past 3 years we would be much better off. Women can be meaner then men and the players would have spent more time in the weight room due to the constant nagging

And they probably would have been on a better diet.

True. Apologies for messing up your Joe Dirt reference. They seemed like normal questions to ponder.

Women never nag anyone about anything.

I always thought it was cool when Pelini would stage these sorts of things. However, looking at this now, I wonder if this is ACTUALLY how Riley's teams practiced every day.

While you're at it William G. Kline can such it.

 I don't know about freedom, but he had enough time.   

Agree with you there.  The best coaches show improvement trends within their program within their first 3 years.  If significant improvement doesn't happen within the first 3 years, it rarely happens with that coach.  Riley's teams got worse record-wise compared to Bo, and his best year in 2016 was basically the type of year which got Bo fired.

I'm not trying to make this a post about defending Bo, but within recent history, Riley had time to show the type of coach he was (a bad one).

So if we're 4-8 a couple of seasons from now, it will be enough time? 

If we are 4-8 a couple years from now then NU has other issues than coaching.  If Scott Frost can't get Nebraska boys to winning, it can't be done.

The magic number is 3 years. If Frost’s teams aren’t showing significant improvement by year 3, the odds are against it ever happening under Frost.
