He secured his fourth loss of the season yesterday. That's eight straight seasons of at least 4 losses for Pelini's teams.
Just saw on ESPN that Pelini is now 3-4 at YSU
- Thread starter Suhrreal
- Start date
And here i thoufht he was an elite coach. Was wrong there, no way any GOOD COACH goes 3-4 to start there first year at a team right guys???
Remember-- this is a big time elite coach (according to bo-lovers) at inferior level competition; if anything Pelini and his superior skills should elevate the team against inferior coaches!!! Haha-- I always said if he was such a GREAT coach why NO power 5 conference school went after him hard. The facts are the same-- he loses against good teams and beats inferior teams. And just so u know I'm not happy about the hire of Riley either (still scratching my head on having full time special team coach $400,000 and they stink).
No im actually with you on this, i was scratching my head when we hired Riley too. Like i said before i didnt grt why are AD didn't go after a big name guy like Michigan did when he said he was going all in and money wasnt an issue. But we got Riley and i have always be a Husker fan and will back anything Huskers up till its good and gone. So Riley has my support till hos out the door.
More than that, haven't they been ranked all season? That means they have the talent as well...
It's ironic that the only fans obsessed with Pelini are also the biggest Riley supporters.
But guys....he is playing with someone else's groceries. He needs time to get "his guys" in there. The cupboard was bare. No depth. 
Well, he took some of his guys with him. Leroy A and the dude who couldn't keep it in his pants. No, Not Carl!!But guys....he is playing with someone else's groceries. He needs time to get "his guys" in there. The cupboard was bare. No depth.

Dude, I was kidding. What I said is one of the great Scott Shanle's arguments. Scott is almost on a level playing field as God himself. He is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. Ha!
On another note Mike Riley has completed 23 years straight with the very same accomplishment. 6 of the last 7 have been 5 or more.
So there is that.
So there is that.
Thanks for that. Makes me feel soooooo much better about our wonderful start to the season.
At this point I am still evaluating Riley, but I do know for a fact we needed the previous staff out of Lincoln. I am willing to give new staff a chance and at least 3 yrs. I think most are in the same boat who are defending the current situation.
So the fact that Riley was not very good at Oregon State means he won't be good here, did I get this right?
Then that means since Bo did great here, he should tear it up at Youngstown as well, especially since they have been ranked since week one, although at 3-4 I am imagining they just might have fallen out of the rankings. Hmmm.....
You can't have it both ways, gentlemen.

Have any evidence to support such a statement?
When Pelini was hired, I supported him as well. That's what you do with a new staff just getting their feet wet. My signature was even a Pelini quote about how he was convinced recruits would come here because we would develop them better than other guys. That sig lasted about three years. The signs that Pelini had no idea what he was doing were there much earlier, but I still supported him until it became apparent that he was not the guy you want as the face of your program.
The fact that he could not stop the run with his own recruits -- remember, this was the first time he had to go out and get his own guys -- says it all about the old Bo coach.
I support Riley because he is the head coach and it's his first year. You won't see me pumping him up anywhere, but you might see me defending him because he's the head coach of the program, and he deserves the same chance Pelini got. If you don't support Riley, you either have an agenda or you're too dumb for your own good! It's that simple.
People who support a HC in his first season would be better known as Nebraska supporters.
Are you Mike's press secretary? Yes I think Riley's record matters. If you want to have a race to see who is a nice man Mike will cross the finish line before Bo gets out of the blocks. My biggest complaint during the Bo era was he could not win any meaningful games. His teams only beat the teams they were suppose to. Well Riley can't even do that. Play all the word games you want to, but here are the facts. 2008 - 20014 when both Bo and Mike were at FBS Schools. Mike 46-42 (2-2 Bowls) 52%. Bo 66-27 (3-3 Bowls) 70% You tell me who was the better coach between these two. Don't tell me who was the nice guy and who was the jerk. Just tell me who won the most games
The difference between you and me is. You want to make excuses for Mike. I don't want either one of them coaching at the University of Nebraska

Just pointing out the double standards. Sucks when you have to apply it across the board and not just to the one coach you want to skewer.
You say Bo only beat the team's he was supposed to... Are you telling me in Bo's four losses they were against higher ranked teams? That's a brutal schedule!
Also, you made a huge leap with the whole nice guy/ass guy... Where did I say that in the post? Try to keep your comments to what I posted, not what you think I am saying. You will see in numerous threads that, yeah, I support Riley, but I am not saying he is the guy. I hope to hell he is and will give him time to make sure, but I am also saying he very well may not be the guy. I am not sold on Riley like you think I am.
Hey cool guy, try looking things up before you post them. Bo's 4 losses are, 1 top 25 FBS team - Pitt (lost by 8 points) and 2 top 6 FCS schools. SIU the 4th team (the team he lost to on Saturday) is just a little better than YSU and relevance wise, SIU is a better loss on the FCS level than an Illinois loss is on the FBS level. Also, YSU hasn't made it to the playoffs since 2006. Bo took over a program worse off then NU. So yep, very brutal schedule!
Still the fact remains, both coaches are lossing right now. I'd say neither one deserves any love. How about that?
Are we comparing Nebraska and Youngstown St?? Yikes. Who the F cares about anything Bo related anyways? Fact: Dude is history!

You got me there. Didn't look it up... My bad. Schedule is in fact even more brutal than I realized. Was just going off their being ranked each week.
Having been put in my place I will stay there for a little while...
No arguments there. He is not doing good at all. Where all the arguing comes in is why he's not doing good.
