4-8. Never thought I'd see the day.
- Thread starter RedSea
- Start date
Riley just said again at the press conference that this was like "Year One" for him and he's excited for next year.
In 20 years went from the best program in America to KU/old KSU/Oregon state rolled into one.
I other words. I’m not quitting, give me my buyout
****ing retarded to say something like that. He knows what Nebraska was and is. Again, I will reiterate what I and other posters have said... he deserves NOTHING! He should retire and give back on those millions he accepted to bring NU back. Not only is NU not back, but we have been raided by wolves in sheep's clothing
The record is not too surprising when you begin with a baseline of 6-6 (Riley’s career average) and then factor in a new QB and defensive scheme.
That’s the logic I used when I predicted a 4-8 record this season.
I hope Frost is the pick.

Riley says he's the right guy to turn the program around. The problem is that he has already turned the program around. Geez...
- Iowa was last 4-8 in 2012
- Now, Nebraska hits mark in 2017
- Wisconsin was 5-7 In 2001 and 4-5-2 In 1995
I have been a Riley critic.
(I also gave him credit for good things, including the ucla win which is one of the best coaching performances here in 15 years.)
But I never thought it would get this bad. This is historic on many levels.

In 1997 what program was better than Nebraska? 3 titles in 4 years?????
Thanks for playing.......
He seemed very upbeat in the press conference. Maybe he's just glad that it's over, but he sure didn't sound like a guy who thought he's going to be fired.
I initially thought “Must be sarcasm... no way did he say that.” Then Riley said it.
Yeah, a national championship kind of says you're the best program in the country, not that Iowa would know anything about that.
Regardless. I feel bad for the guy. I wish him the best. I just don’t think he realizes what he got into. He was in over his head and drowned under pressure.
Again, many of us said 'wtf' when Riley was hired . Now everybody is saying 'wtf'. Ok let's move on, Reboot.
Serious? Wtf is wrong with people? This is a Nebraska football board and conversation and you’ve got to insert politics.
Michigan for one. I still remember Scott Frost begging the coaches on national TV to give Osborn one last title. It was shameful that the coaches poll delivered the equivalent of title welfare.
Football isn't that hard. Blocking, tackling, focus, desire, execution... Keep It Simple, Stupid. A guy with Riley's mountain of experience should have been able to post a respectable record at NU in his sleep. It's mind-boggling that Riley could coach UP lowly Oregon State to respectability, but somehow now he's coached DOWN Nebraska to this mess. It doesn't make any sense. Anyhow, it's history now.
Perfect time for Coach Riley to dial up a 7 yard pattern
My dad is 70. The last time NU won only 4 games in a season he was in middle school. This is officially the worst NU team in 2 generations.
Wow, you are dense. I guess I can't blame your biased opinion being a herky.
I'd be excited too, he's going home with 6+ million dollars in his pocket and has to do exactly nothing to earn it!
Begging for the third and receiving title welfare from the coaches doesn't count. Maybe Frost can beg for another one.
Would you say it was equal to Iowa’s last title? No you wouldn’t because Iowa has no titles
