Was Riley Our First Choice?

Couldn't be right?

From what I've seen, at least 3rd.

Doubt it, from what I'm seeing.

Jesus Christ. How do you not have this shit all lined up before you fire a guy.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

I think it is the usual, choices 1 through 10 did not want the offer, the AD scrambles and goes for an ex NFL coach that is good with the media. So, the media will give Eichorst leeway in 2015, which is what Eichorst is hoping and praying for, the media to "like" him.

There are gambles, then there are HIGH RISK gambles.

This is HIGH RISK gamble.

But we all know he's a "nice guy".

 

[chucksker]

RA tryna chase Riley outta town before he gets here tonight

I don't believe any of that horseshit about other coaches turning the job down.

This man was hired before the Iowa game.

Guaranteed.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

With that said, a part of the hiring process requires that you interview so many people. So others were probably contacted and maybe that's where people are getting tripped up in that stuff.

Well with the top two guys turning us down, I suppose he had to gamble.

But I don't think I could handle another season of Bo losing games and blaming it on execution. He wasn't going to change a thing. I am quite sure that Riley is better football coach than Bo.

I don't believe any of that horseshit about other coaches turning the job down.

This man was hired after the Iowa game last year.

Guaranteed.

The media loved Bo also until the blowout losses.

From what I've seen, at least 3rd.

Wrong.

 

[Brasky]

Only choice.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

DAMMIT. Thought this was about Raven Riley.

 

[Red_Alert]

Perleman says file a Freedom of Information and you'll see that Riley was the only person offered the job.

Of course that might be double-speak for those that were contacted and not offered.

 

[Brasky]

DAMMIT. Thought this was about Raven Riley.

Nah basically about something one hundred billion times more consequential to the sports universe.

 

[it'sHuskers4me]

Was Riley even listed in the Vegas odds? Riley was the only one offered the job according to Perlman.

How many minorities were interviewed?

Have you looked at his records at Oregon State? Bo is better.
