Indeed. Feels like we've been lost at sea without a captain for quite a while. Cheers.Originally posted by Pennsyhusker:

I think people are falling for a slight of hand trick when it comes to MR and his comments or outlook for TA. He's seen enough film of TA to know, but he also knows he is beloved by some fans who think all he needed was better coaching and he did have a good record as a starter, so why rock the boat? Lots of people are quick to see the real picture with Bo's overall record, and by that I mean yes he wins 9 games but it's against Iowa and Purdue, but on the other had are happy to credit TA as an effective QB even though his wins came against the same opponents. I think our QB picture is fairly clear in terms of who we can rule out. I think Bush and Stanton are your #1 & #2 QB's when the season starts. We'll see.Originally posted by Husker.Wed.:
Yes it does. However, if Coach Riley and Langsdorf try to turn TA or the other QBs into Dan Marino, lose six games and miss a bowl game, I suspect we will all have lost that luvin feeling by this time next year. I hope like anything HCMR, the staff and our team do great things so our fanbase becomes one again.
It's actually pretty sad that we have a coach whose lifetime winning percentage is around 0.500%Originally posted by BradWesley:

Hopefully he can overachieve at Nebraska for our program's sake.
GBR!!!

excellent postOriginally posted by sltoa:
Nobody knows how much success HCMR will have in terms of wins and losses.
But I do know this.
I have 3 boys between the ages of 7 and 11.
I try to impress on them the importance of decency, integrity, compassion and basically how to treat other human beings.
My job got easier when HCMR was hired.
I know that a lot of you are about winning percentages, bowl games, and championships.
And it doesn't matter how you get those results.
But it does to me. And it will to my sons.

This is a legitimate take. He's doing the right things right now, but what looks good right now is trivial if it doesn't carry over to the field. It's entirely possible to hold this view and not be a "Youngstown Guy" The two are not connected.Originally posted by CharlieHustle:

no doubt Bo is still the head coach if he managed to conduct himself like a respectable human being in times of adversityOriginally posted by inWV:
The different demeanor or Riley is a welcome change. He seems to genuinely enjoy coaching. That said, I think we would have overlooked Bo's glaring faults in this area had he won a few more games. We would have probably overlooked strangled kittens for an undefeated season.
You could have said the same thing about Callahan. Winning makes everything better. However, I still found it difficult to stomach Bo's behavior regardless of the win count. I'm not saying that everyone has to conduct themselves to the level of LHCTO, but Pelini was a real embarrassment inside and outside the program.Originally posted by inWV:

I think the main reason Eichorst hired Riley is Mike isn't an energy vampire.Originally posted by jawbreakingsafetyplay:
I couldn´t agree more. For the first time in years, rooting for the program is fun again. Riley and his staff are absolutely still pinching themselves everday in amazement that they have this opportunity in front of them. They aren´t going to fail here on account of effort and professinalism. Even through struggles and tougher times, this staff will be a thousand times easier to support and root for because they aren´t jerks who think the program is beneath them, or they blame the past success for their expectations today.
There is no comparison between this staff and the previous one. The new staff has shown more appreciation for the great situation they have here at NU than dirtbag did in 7 years. They embrace past legends and the past coaches of this program, despite one of those legends still seething with massive butthurt. In the end, Riley will be judged by his wins and losses, which is completely fair. If you follow the way this man works, and the way successful people in coaching and other walks of life conduct their business, it is very easy to see why SE singled this man out as his head coach.

True. I guess we will see a draft of the this staff's work in the Spring Game, and the full product in the Fall. The expectations are pretty high. I have to say that I appreciate Riley's demeanor. I don't know if he really enjoys talking to reporters, but he does seem to enjoy talking about football and about the players.Originally posted by Tulsa Tom:
Winning more than ten games a season is nice.
Winning conference championships is nice.
Winning a national playoff is nice.
And that's the important side. He clearly knows what he's doing and has nothing to hide. No coach-speak responses, rather just an honest and informed dialogue from someone who gets it. Does that mean we win the B1G? Probably not this year, but give him time and let's see what he can achieve. I'm excited.Originally posted by inWV:
