They need to hire an AD who's intimate with the prison system. That's where nebraska got their best players the last time they were good.

lel...we're trying to get them back OUT of our system. We call that "de-URBANization." It takes awhile for the CUM to drip out.

Mike Riley when he heard the news.

Oh shit....

Are you gonna stop following me on here and unfriend me on FB?

@Manster7588
The Executive Committee met and decided after careful consideration and deliberation that this is not possible.

But thanks for the suggestion.

Fuck the Executive Committee. I'm filing an appeal and I refuse to have Harold Henderson handle it.

 

[HuskerOC]

We need more input.

Thanks for the non-mention of the only guy on this site who might actually know a thing or two about where the Huskers are going.

It will be either Dave Rimington, Paul Meyers, or Trev Alberts.

I believe that Rimington is the lead cat. There isn't a massive amount of support for Alberts as he hasn't been a "winner" at UNO (University of Nebraska-Omaha), and he killed (yes killed) the football program at UNO that too many important donors will never forget.

Paul Meyers is the fall guy.

Never fear, TO is here. Regardless of who the AD is, Tom Osborne will be the big hoss in the decision of who is the next coach. Nebraska may finally throw some money at a guy in the name of Scott Frost.

 

[Skerpokes]

Sooner you start the process, sooner you'll get there...

Yeah. Because Texa$ is a perfect example

 

[Moab]

Yeah. Because Texa$ is a perfect example

He used the term sooner twice in his post, maybe he's a Longhorn looking at the sooners as the example?

 

[handicappers]

that team is a shit show. time for change

Didn't Aaron Hernandez hang himself in his prison cell after being convicted of murder?

Is Florida's AD interested in a job?

Nebraska's identity crisis proves Huskers are no longer a top-tier gig

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nebraska-no-longer-top-tier-destination-gig-012351882.html


The university’s decision to remove Eichorst is about football, pure and simple. The university’s awkward press release complimented Eichorst before noting, “those efforts have not translated to on-field performance.” Notice it didn’t say court. Or pool. Or mat.

In other words, Riley going 16-13 through three seasons and losing to a MAC team for the first time in school history isn’t going to cut it. When he is inevitably let go, Riley will make $170,000 per month through February 2021. Former coach Bo Pelini is still slated to get nearly $2.2 million between now and February 2019 and Eichorst is due $1.7 million. You don’t have to be on the House Appropriations Committee to deduce that Nebraska potentially paying out $10.5 million for three people not to work isn’t the most efficient use of state funding.

This leaves Nebraska with both a football problem and an identity crisis, and those two are intricately intertwined to make this one of the trickiest jobs in college sports. To solve the problem will take a deep and painful look at the school’s modern realities. And the answers are going to be uncomfortable for Big Red loyalists, who double as one of the school’s strengths. Nebraska first needs to realize its limitations before maximizing its strengths.

So let’s start with a few cold body blows. Nebraska’s football job is not one of the top 20 jobs in college football. The school has established no consistent identity since joining the Big Ten in 2011, lacks a fertile recruiting base and has lost all of the major advantages it held by winning or sharing the national title three times from 1994-97. Nebraska is a worse job than Wisconsin, as it’s been bereft of talent and resonates with modern recruits less than places like Mississippi State, Boise State or TCU. Calls to athletic directors and industry sources on Thursday kept yielding the same defining left-handed compliment: “Well, it’s on the right side of the division [in the Big Ten].” Yep, Nebraska is the potential prom date being tabbed as having a “great personality

What I don't understand is why they keep these coaches on board. It's a foregone conclusion at this point that Riley is gone. So why wait? Start the coaching search now and give your new coach the most possible time to get a class together. Hire someone with the premise that they'll take over when the season is done. Hell, you don't even need to make it public yet.

Also, I think Nebraska is still capable of getting big names to come there. Problem is, they royally screwed it up last time. They need to make a perfect hire this time around or they could death spiral for a while.
