I am very disappointed in Riley.
I am very disappointed in Riley. Lewis knows he made a mistake in the way he responded to critics and he deleted the post. Riley could have taken the opportunity to mention the bad behavior of some aholes but he was mum in the defense of the players. Riley could have and should have just said the matter is closed without publicly criticizing a hard working and dedicated player.
Clearly he is following his marching orders to keep Delaney from calling Perlman and the unjustified "consequences" are intended to do just that.
You are really confused.But yet, you still support Peelini. Geezus christmas, you people are sick in the head, seriously.
absolutely serious the guy is a hard worker and he is dedicated with an above average chance to play on Sundays.You can't be serious with this?

Writing something in defense of the payers is not in any way a show of support for Pelini.
I do know this you were 110% for Pelini and then changed your mind. For me I didn't care if Pelini stayed or left.
Tim you just kinda lost yourself when your man Pederson was fired.
You can't be serious with this?

Real simple solution ban the players from using social media during the season -more then one coach does this and it avoids just this type of situation.I had to reread this as I was sure you were joking...
The way Riley handled this said to the player, that behavior is unacceptable, and to the fans, this is unacceptable. This is a case where the customer is always right, and the customer, in this case, is the fan.
Do you think Riley didn't talk with Lewis in private about this? I have no doubt he told Lewis he understood his response, sided with his player even. But he felt he still needed to respond publicly in this way.
I don't think Lewis is feeling any less of a player or team member because Riley said what he said to the media for our benefit. And I don't think his hard work and dedication will suffer either.
And maybe, just maybe, we won't be talking about a similar response from another player in the future now that the expectation has been made known.

I think Riley's approach is outstanding. He is empowering the players to act as adults while providing recommendations on how they should handle themselves with respect to social media. In my experience, young adults very frequently rise to excellence when you treat them like adults but also provide strong mentorship that they can learn from. It is precisely the approach I use in my profession with young adults.

Mike Riley is a damn good coach and a even better person. The team is responding better then any of us could have imagined. Two down to the wire close loses against two quality teams. Riley handled this situation as good as anyone could have. Proud of the team for busting there asses off the past 3 weeks and I'm proud to call Mike Riley our head coach!
Go Big Red!
Great first post (seriously)!
Well said...You guys do realize that Mike Riley was asked about the situation that Alex Lewis created at his Monday press conference. Riley addressed this internally and he simply gave a short sypnopsis of that interaction to satisfy the reporters curiosity. I don't know what about this was handled poorly. If you are seeing something, you are imagining things.
My lord, some of you guys after seven years clearly suffer from Stockholm Syndrome if you can't appreciate the consummate professional that is the head coach in Lincoln. I know you have grown accustomed to an unhinged lunatic running the circus but those days have been over for almost a yewr
