I hope the next position Diaco applies for takes measurables into account above all else.

Did the old staff even offer him?
No, Mike Riley wanted to but was overruled by Billy Devaney and Bob DiacoDid the old staff even offer him?
Yeah sorry, I was reading those now. Got ahead of myself. lolNo, read the thread further for answers.
You know I get tired of this crap that tries to cleanse MR of stuff. Reilly is the head coach. Billy D and Diaco can't veto. If they can than MR was much more incompetent than we all thought.On KFAB this morning, Rose said he knows for a fact that Reilly wanted to offer him and Billy D. and Diaco vetoed that. I think that tells you all you need to know about the dysfunction of Reilly's program when he let those two guys overrule him on taking an instate (incity) kid that all other area programs wanted. I hope its not too late with him. I can think of a few other kids the last few years who would have looked really, really good in red and who would have been the heart and soul of our team because they were born and bred Husker Red. I know not every Nebraska highschool kid has D1 talent, but we have passed on too many who do.
Me too, really wanna flip this kid.Ya, Riley is a big fan of Williams - but it was Diaco that wasn't interested in offering Williams. I hadn't heard one thing about Devaney in regards to Williams so I'm not gonna buy his name being thrown in. Rose, to be blunt like I always am, is a blabbering idiot and that's being nice.
ND fans warned us, Diaco is all about measurables. If you don't have them, he's not interested. And Williams doesn't have the measurables that Diaco was looking for.
With that said, Riley handled the non-offer about as well as one could. Invited the family for a visit, met with them for an extremely long time in his office and went in to detail as to why Nebraska wasn't offering. Believe it or not, the family respects what Riley did & left with a higher opinion of coach.
Okay, enough of that - I'm hoping he pulls the trigger before the weekend hits.
I agree to a point but if the defensive coordinator, who was the one to have to coach this kid, didn’t want him, why bring him in? Get someone who will fit the D coordinator better I think... please don’t tell me other head coaches throughout America don’t listen to the input of their assistant coaches regarding recruits they want to bring in...You know I get tired of this crap that tries to cleanse MR of stuff. Reilly is the head coach. Billy D and Diaco can't veto. If they can than MR was much more incompetent than we all thought.

Good thing he didn’t commit to the other recent tormentor and end of season foe.Especially when letting him get away means seeing him play for your main division rival and recent tormentor.
Plenty of time to flip this kid. Not surprising he says that at first.FWIW, Land of 10 reported he told Nebraska he’s still committed to Wisky. Not that I expected him to flip after a couple of days.

Does anyone know a time or a story in which Riley showed he had a pair? I mean seriously, did he ever show pride or a back bone by saying "I am the F-ing coach and I get final say"? IMO he's the classic "nice guys finish last" loser. How can the guy ever find success in life when he allows so many people to walk over him.No, Mike Riley wanted to but was overruled by Billy Devaney and Bob Diaco

And I am being serious, does anyone know of any time he used executive order? Cause I have about a hundred stories of him being a pushed around by subordinates.
People like him can't be leaders.
In this case, I'd expect Bryson Williams to stay with UW.
I think he has no ties to NU, didn't grow up in Nebraska or root for the Huskers.
However, it's a good move CSF made. This is to win over in-state HS coaches, I think.
Not to nitpick, but it has nothing to do with the hiring process. Any manager or leader should have the sack to tell a subordinate F' no, I am making the call. If he doesn't have the nads to do that HE should be fired. Or in this case, he was fired.One thing you should never do in management is hire someone who could potentially steal your managing power or undermine your credibility, and that's exactly what Riley did with our former DC (let's try to never use his name on this board again). Bring back our roots, Scott!

sounds like Chryst, can't trust that guyhe will be a Husker. Wisconsin now wants him to play O-line and he does not want to do that. Nebraska has told him they want him on defense. Expect a flip within 5 days.
Guys how friggen difficult is it to spell Riley correctly? I know he is gone but have some pride when you post people's names....Is Frawst next?

man you have no idea ...the U part is always assumed to be an O ...except when I was in Germany...they nailed it every timeI agree, mwolf
We should find out this weekend what his future plans are.
