Mike Riley

[Team Mookie]

You guys need to remember Frost is not off the table.

This.... Hire Frost as OC and let him take over in four or five years.

This is maybe the 2nd weirdest day I've ever experienced as a Nebraska fan.

 

[Brasky]

Seems like no one likes the hire. Not one person.

 

[trojanfan12]

He hasn't built shit for a winner in all that time.

Did you know he's a nice guy?

You clearly have no clue how tough it is to win at Oregon St. This guy has been offered some of the highest profile jobs in cfb. He has turned down Alabama and USC (twice) just to name a couple. When programs like that are offering you their HC job, that's says a lot, imo.

Also, of all of the big time programs, he and Nebraska seem to be a perfect fit (which is probably why he took the job when he's turned down 'Bama and USC). He takes 3 star talent and coaches them up. Imagine what he'd do with the talent that Nebraska gets.

I've seen various Husker fans complain about talent not being developed under Pelini. Well, now you have a guy who actually does develop talent.

I know one thing for sure, you're quarterback play is about to get a lot better.

Mike Riley, 4-21 against Top Ten teams.

I'm willing to bet Callahan will be remembered as a better coach than Riley will.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Awesome so we got this guy for 5 years. Then this shit show starts again. Man we missed again big time

 

[Brasky]

From the tweet Tressel posted earlier today... He sounded pissed. He made the post right before the announcement. Some boomerang analogy basically saying "what goes around comes around". Sounds like maybe eichorst pulled the plug on the Tressel deal last second.

 

[trojanfan12]

Some of you sound like USC fans when we hired Pete Carroll.

Oregon St beat writer going to be on USC in about 10 min to talk about Riley

 

[Brasky]

I know that sounds absurd but go look at Tressel's twitter account. If you're reading the tea leaves it screams of a person who feels like they just got fucked over.

yep i'm listening

 

[Red_Alert]

Dude RA you are having the biggest meltdown I've ever seen LMAO

Damn right

He was.....

(5-7) after 8 years on the job
(3-9) after 9 years on the job
(9-4) after 10 years on the job
(7-6) after 11 years on the job
(5-7) after 12 years on the job

He beat Portland St 29-14 this season.
He lost to Eastern Washington last season.

But he's a "nice guy".

I'm glad this is just a nightmare and my alarm clock will be going off soon.

Steve P. press conference announcing the firing of Solich.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

On this board, looks like Red_Alert and myself are the least intrigued by this hire.

Checking other huskers boards, it seems to be about 50-50 on the fanbase.

I will not be attending a Nebraska game next year it looks like, the plan was to go to Minnesota, but I don't see any point to it right now. Of course, come August I will forget all this and be drinking the red koolaid.

I am so excited that PAC 12 fans are saying he is a nice guy and a great hire. blah blah blah.

He went 2-7 in the PAC 12 and technically finished in LAST place of the north division, and finished in 11th in the PAC 12.

I guess the good news, Nebraska did not hire the Colorado coach from the PAC 12.

Whoever they give the keys to has my support for 4 years.
