Not even one thread backing Riley?

[Nebraska Gator II]

From 1962-2015 how many losing seasons have there been?

Well through 2014 there were two. The answer may be 3 after this year.

I think most new coaches need 2-3 years to have a realistic assessment of their skills. As Benning has pointed out numerous times, we could well be a better team next year, and not necessarily have a great record. Supposing we finish 3-9 or 5-7 this year, obviously next year he's going to have to show improvement by going to a bowl, continuing to recruit, and see some lights go on at various positions.

If he has two years and the secondary looks clueless and we've won a total of 10 games, I don't think too many folks in the administration would be on the bandwagon. Husker fans will vote with their wallets and that will force the issue.

I'm not wedded to Riley in any sense. But I'm also not wedded to the idea that we just bring in new coaches and new schemes every year until a 10 win team shows its head. That's an ever bigger lottery than just having a guy have a chance to develop something.

Well written. I am going to continue to support the team. I am coming to the Iowa game to show my support. That will cost me time and money. At the same time I feel as though I have watched Mike coach more games and for a lot longer period than the average members of this board so I will continue to question his hire and ability to get his downward cycle of wins and losses turned around.

Really really... But we aren't spoiled are we.
