the Huskers, why didn't he wait until LOI Day was over before firing SE? It would have
eliminated negative recruiting by other teams. Maybe the speculation I have read on this board is true that SE was going to fire MR.

Winning would eliminate negative recruiting.

Not without an AD it won't.

It's pretty obvious. First, Eichorst was a disaster. From Magic school buses to silly selections for coaches, to not understanding tradition, to propping himself up and saying we have great leadership and he's been providing that leadership, it was becoming an embarrassment. You don't let a disaster hang around that long.

Second, if this season goes way south we have to have someone in place to go hire another coach. It would have been abdication of leadership for him and Green to have done anything else.

He did wait until after LOI day.

That's kind of a dick move to do to recruits. Not to mention negative recruiting is a lot less effective than people think.

BS yes it will.
You don't think winning Saturday won't help with recruiting? You're mental.

BS, it won't. Look in the mirror next time before you question my mental state. Nothing will help recruiting unless (a) Riley wins out, goes 5-1 at least or (b) NU officially states he'll be back in 2018.

I'm not sure NU officially stating he will be back would help that much either. Most recruits would read through that as knowing its probably his last year.

If that were the case, then they would have already decommitted by now.
