Mike Riley

[it'sHuskers4me]

Okay Guise, ever noticed the likeness between Mike Riley and John Malkovich?

 

[Red_Alert]

Riley needs to get those spots on his bean checked out. Looks like Basal Cell Carcinoma skin cancer.

Could just be Cyrus the Virus

 

[Smotis]

Fire him, I'm done with this coaching staff.

 

[psaboy]

I will say this, he will not be lasting long in Lincoln, period, maybe two years. This was bad hire, after five games you can tell when someone can lead a team and someone who can't

 

[HuskerinBig10]

completely underwhelmed.

hiring a 5-7 coach.

Looks like choices 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, turned down Nebraska.

Name one player from Oregon State in the NFL. Personally, I can't.

Two players drafted last year. Does not really know talent if you ask me, when he is right next to California.

He had better be CHEAP, as in not costing much.

Because he is a bust.

OMFG, three out of the last five years have been LOSING records. 29-33 over the last five years.

To use the baseball terminology of HOME RUN as a description, this is a sacrifice bunt.

Wow, talk about a fucking shitty I am not excited hire.

This sucks.

This is my reaction

Well, my expectations have been drastically lowered.

Remember, Steve Pederson on saying Nebraska won't be mediocre. Now we have Eichorst claiming Pelini did not win the games that mattered,

FUCK. Riley did not win the games that did not matter.

FIRE EICHORST.

Fuck you Oregon fan.

This sucks and you know it.

I never wanted to go to Corvalis, and I certainly did not want to hire a losing coach from there.

This sucks.

This sucks.

This sucks.

This sucks.

McElwain is a good hire. Took a bad CSU team to being good. Can coach and recruit. McElwain is a winner.

Mike Riley could not recruit to Oregon State even though talent rich California is right next door.

Mike Riley is a loser, not a winner.

Yes, he finished 5-7 and is 29-33 over the last five years.

My god. what a fail of a hire.

his salary is 1.6 million, he better not be making more than 2.5 million.

The big difference, Tim Miles was building a winner at CSU.

What has Mike Riley done? 5-7. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTttttttttttttttttttttt

OK, Johnny Stanton likes Mike Riley. That is a plus. At least one player will be excited.

5-7 with nothing but NFL talent.

Nebraska goes 9-3 with Nebraska kids.

Damon Benning is calling it a home run because he is media, and the media is so happy they get a media guy.

Great, appease the spoiled media people that only care about a sound bite.

Mike Riley was 5-7 in 2014, 7-6 in 2013.

But he is super with the media. blah blah blah.

Fuck the media. Fuck ESPN. Fuck the media.

Oregon State losses in 2014
35-10 blowout loss
29-23
38-14 blowout loss
45-31
39-32 close loss to Washington State
37-13 blowout loss
47-19 blowout loss

Oregon State finished last in their PAC 12 division.

His NFL record 14-34.

Bill Callahan went 15-17 in the NFL.

Mike Riley, 4-21 against Top Ten teams.

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.

The opposite of losing JUST 4 games a year. With Riley, Nebraska is guaranteed to lose at LEAST four games each year. Plus, we will get losing seasons.

I am sure Eichorst's next move is to raise ticket prices.

This looks like Michigan all over.

Hire some crap coach from the West Coast, say a lot of spin talk, raise prices, screw around with the student fan base, complain about the student fan base, AD resigns.

Oh, the more I think about this, the worse it gets.

Riley's, OC John Garrett and his offense finished 5-7. This is the guy he just hired. Not impressed with his ability to judge good assistant coaches.

Mike Riley did not want to leave Oregon State when he was winning, but once he started losing he decides to get the heck out of Corvalis.

This strikes me as odd.

If he thought he had it rolling in 2012 and did now want to leave, why leave now?

My guess, he regrets not taking the big money that was offered to him, and he decided this time he would and cash in the chips because he is only going to get worse in Corvalis. He saw the writing was on the wall.

This contract had better not be a lot and there had better not be a big buyout.

If it is true, that Eichorst dissed Tressel, he is a fool.

I got bored of quoting myself

 

[Brasky]

Yeah you're fucking happy they lost today.

 

[Red_Alert]

Bring me Eichorst NOW!!!!

This thread is fucking gold !!!!!

 

[SDPaddlefish]

I think Riley has joined Jeff Fisher in the unemployable ranks. How stupid would you have to be to hire either of these 2?

 

[blkflagmafia]

I dont understand why we ever hired him...coach is a .500 coach with multiple stops over decades. What made it worse is now we gotta clean up bo and riley mess which means we will need 5 solid years under frost before we get back

naaaa--- Frost will make the Huskers Great Again !!
in one year

Who is Johnny Stanton?

 

[tometom]

i think MR recruited better than Bo, sure there is stuff to clean up, but i feel like we have talent there, just need coaches to get them in better positions. also next coach might need to get some JUCOs to fill some holes, i think we should be competing for West in year 2. i wouldn't call for a firing if we weren't but i think that's a reasonable goal.

I agree. Biggest priority will be a juco QB.

Anybody remember this guy? lel

Terry Wilson, Garden City C.C. , Dual-Threat Quarterback

Hell yeah frost stole him from us when we switch to mike riley. Got lost in oregon depth chart left to CC and is doing well. He fits scott frost offense perfectly

 

[Skerpokes]

Sounds like Stanley Morgan is gonna enter the draft. And my guess is that he won't be the only receiver leaving. I get the sense that these receivers are more loyal to Coach Williams than N

Or just gauging their interest. He may look at the situation as this could be his high number season. Go while he's somewhat attractive.

That or he doesn't want to have to block.
That is evidenced by the lack of big plays out of Nebraska. When the offense did make the second level, there were always DB's making stops.

I bet the incoming coach makes the difference, depending on who it is.

 

[Skerpokes]

Is it worth keeping Coach Williams? From a recruiting standpoint I think so, but based upon on-field production this year, I wouldn't argue against not keeping him.

 

[corn train]

Gates was gong to enter the Draft but he kept getting pushed aside at the front door and eventually he gave up
