Should Mike Riley keep his job after this season?

[oaknightshockey1]

Well I clicked "YES" and it sent me down this rabbit hole of staying off message boards and not calling in to radia stations and what not. The screen said to check back in 3-4 years. But I want it noooow.

We should have hired saban after solich

But William Mother Fuckin Callahan was available baby! We had to take him.

He took a team to the Supper Bowl en sech!

You know who's fault this really is. Tom Osborne! If he wasn't so selfish we would never be in this mess!


Bring on Tom Herman.

Bring on Tom Herman, who goes to Danny Langsdorf for advice.

Went ahead and fixed that for you.

Houston Football: How Tom Herman became a coveted quarterback guru

As for Herman, he credits long-time Mike Riley assistant Danny Langsdorf, the current Nebraska OC/QB coach, for sharing his insight with him.

Well then why are we not 8-0 and laughing at the world for ever questioning the Mike Riley hirey

Because sometimes we have to be patient.

I'll try to be more patient because I know there's nothing I can do as a fan, but just grin and bear it. You do realize that even next year we may not see any improvement either?

 

[HuskerPower52]

I mean we can still go 7-6 this season. Get some of that momentum I have been hearing about going into next season. Yeah.

Yep. Could take a couple, but it will get there if we give these guys a chance.

I would have some optimism if that happened, but think how long the odds are for that to happen?

This quote from the article shows me this guy doesn't know what he's talking about:

The option offense at a place like Nebraska would be cutting edge these days. The rest of the Big Ten wouldn’t see it any other week. It’s still who Nebraska is. Because they haven’t become anything else.

So we are going to be content with recruiting players like the service academies from here forward?

 

[oaknightshockey1]

Actually, I agree with his last sentence there. We haven't become anything else. That's why we are struggling...we have no identity. That's what MR is trying to do...give us an identity again. Doesn't matter what that identity is, we just have to have it and recruit to it and execute it well.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

Everybody should be listening to Hondo Carpenter on 93.7 The Ticket right now. He's co-hosting with Mike Welch, and he knows his stuff.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Yeah I hear ya Xorb. I just have to keep hope alive that this team somehow finds a spark to show that they give a damn about this program.

He makes some good points, but I agree that the option offense would not work as well as it did in the past. However, passing 50 times a game won't get us consistent wins unless there's great talent on the offensive line and at receiver, plus 3 to 4 years of experience for the whole group all at once. More of a balanced run based offense is the only thing that will work for Nebraska. This is why I have serious doubts about our present coaching staff.

We'll have a tough time with about any style of offense when we have this:

I really think most of the players really do care about the program, but they need something to give them more optimism, something to show them that what they are working for is going to lead them to some wins.
