hes struggling mightily at Oregon State. Everyone needs to be patient. Every coach should get minimum 4 years before any tries to make a change
 
Didn't realize they hired our former baseball coach. No wonder they are struggling Cool
 
you would really give riley 4 years if he continues to demonstrate a lack of basic understanding of clock mgmt/end of game play calling? that's crazy.

I remember Les Miles being blasted for clock management. I remember Gary Pinkel being blasted for clock management. Heck, I remember Nick Saban being blasted for it.

Not saying Riley is one of those guys, but I am saying that if Riley gets his guys in place to run his systems, clock management might not be an issue as we'll be a long ways ahead in most games

The only thing I can think of is that Gary wanted away from Barry in the worst way. The Oregon State job is a big step down. It made no sense.

Not relevant. Saying that the guy who beat up on Bo is doing as bad or worse than Riley did at Oregon State
 
Riley stated himself he wasn't hired to build, he was hired to win now. He isn't young enough to build. In 4 years he will be dam near 66. We gotta wait until he's 66 for him to start winning. GTFO. He took 9-4 talent and has them at 2-4. Does Michigan need 4 years?
 
Since people like to use the talent excuse, Riley didn't exactly leave the cupboards full in Corvallis. Most experts predicted they'd be lucky to win 4 games this year.
 
Some of you are dumber than dumb. Jesus you can't even compare the two situations. Clearly, our staff isn't experienced with spread option talent on offense and our secondary is atrocious. No one said wait 4 years to win anything. Just you can't give up before he has his guys in place. Michigan has ridiculous talent and Jim harbaugh, who's name gives instant credibility with any player. We don't have that. Never will until one of our alumni Is a coaching prodigy. Get a grip on reality and give these guys a chance

Dumber than dumb? How wise is it to expect a coach who has only ever been average to all of a sudden become better than average?

As for the Michigan situation, isn't it curious how great coaches have a knack for making their teams look talented?

So you admit Riley wasn't qualified for the job? You say the staff isn't experienced with spread option. This is a spread option offense team. Do you think hiring someone not qualified for a position is dumber than dumb? Do you think trying to have 100 people adjust to one man's philosophy vs not having 1 man adapt to a teams strength is dumber then dumb? Do you think running a early 2000's pro-style offense at NEBRASKA is dumber then dumb? Do you think hiring a special teams coach vs hiring a lightning rod recruiter is dumber then dumb? Do you think not trying to keep Coach Warren was dumber then dumb? Do you think hiring a losing coach is dumber then dumb? Is placing the blame on our players vs a coach who has never won, not dumber then dumb?

I'm sorry, is NU building a 20 year plan with an old man at coach? So what will 4 or 5 years do, assuming he can finally can run his system? Retire? Will he be able to coach much longer after that?

Do you think pretty much any coach coaching today was originally a spread option coach? Not like this offense has been around that long. The Truth is many coaches have adjusted to the game. The game has passed Riley up and he wasn't even that good of a coach when his style of offense was at its height in college football. Banker too. Sorry, college football is no country for old men who aren't willing to adjust to the younger mans game.
 
I wonder how Harbaugh got his guys in place so quick. I'm sick of hereing the phrase, when he gets his guys in place! MR is a season coach, he shouldn't need these special individualS to manage the game.

Enough of the GTFO bit. You're comparing apples to hand grenades. #1 This isn't 9-4 talent. You're forgetting that Ameer bailed us out of at least one loss and Randy Gregory was an elite pass rusher and hes gone too. This team has 12 walk ons in the 2 deep and 6 starters. Find me another ranked team in that situation. Michigan.....Brady Hoke recruited at a very high level and Michigan is full of talent. The scenario at the 2 schools are not even remotely comparable.

And Mike Riely is recruiting this talent now at NU? How's NU's recruiting look now? Not talking what maybe, or could be. I'm asking you the way it looks now. what kind of verbals he looking at right now? The type of high level Hoke recruited. If your saying MR can't win without top 10-15 recruiting, how's the future looking?

One thing you can say about BO, is he always found a RB. every year he was here he had a NFL back on the roster. Helu -Rex - Ameer. That staff really messed up but they did good jobs with backs here. So when you say Ameer bailed out the team last year, I'm sure he did. But I believe there is a back on this roster who could bail us out this year. That's football. next man up. Rex was a hard loss. Helu was a difficult loss. But someone stepped up. NUs recruited a very high level of backs that are on the current roster. i believe in these kids.

I think your first point is irrelevant because on signing day our class will look much different than it does now due to being complete. We are serious contenders for several very talented kids and I believe our class this year will be very solid with several kids that have an early shot to contribute. If it doesn't I will adjust my thoughts accordingly. It does no good to have such a pessimistic outlook at this point in time. I think we do indeed have some good backs and maybe even a couple special guys. Because this staff likes to pass, pass blocking is an important skill that evidently most of them still need work on. I'm sure we have more talented runners than Newby but how would people react if someone whiffed on a block and got Tommy broken? We also need more talent on the OL before our running game can really excel.
 
Stevenson will be a star.

He might be but right now he's like 6th on the depth chart. Yesterday when the team was on offense, he didn't have his helmet on, wasn't standing by the offensive coaching staff (or offense in general) but rather on the bleachers near mid field. It was apparent that there was zero chance of him coming into the game except for kick returns. So while he might be a star in the future, it seems unlikely at this point that he'll have a big impact on this season.
 
An Ameer fumble cost us the MSU game and Randy Gregory didn't play for at least 2 of our wins last year.

AA gave us a 7 point lead we were not behind....this is why people rail on .538 so hard because of the constant excuse making by bringing up a coach everyone says is terrible. What does that make Riley.

What has Riley done comparable to Pinkel, Saban or Les Miles get real.

He has coached college for 30 years.

The MSU game was a blowout. Nebraska made it respectable because state let off the gas in the 4th quarter period....
 
Sorry if we only wins 4 games this season, no way in hell does he deserve 3-4 years. Yes, he needs time to get his own players, but at the same time, not getting this roster (not that it's a great roster by any means) to a winning season along with his history at Oregon State/San Diego....would not be good. His recruiting isn't exactly killing it at this point either, even though it may be slightly better than Bo's (which isn't saying much). I hated this hire from the beginning, but hopefully MR can turn this thing around.

OVER HALF OF OUR DEFENSIVE STARTERS WERE OUT FOR THE WISCONSIN GAME AND WE LOST BY A FIELD GOAL! We were SCREWED if we had lost ONE linebacker or DE this year because of BP's mismanagement let alone half the damned defense. BP's lazy recruiting that gave us guys with "issues" like Moss and Alexander cost us two more potential scholarship starters. Bo encouraging Love to transfer cost us a linebacker that would have been on the 2-deep. Who the heck knows what happened with David Santos but that was another 2-deep linebacker lost. Then there were the scholarship guys that got kicked off the team shortly after they got here for fighting among other things. More great citizens brought in by Bo. ADD that all up and couple it in with the injuries and I just don't know what you guys expected this year.
