No, they say he wasn't that good of a coach and a piece of shit person.
Pat Fitzgerald is a class act....
- Thread starter HuskerDana
- Start date
The last 4 coaches were all bad in their own ways.
Lots of people throughout this year have said Riley deserves a minimum of four years no matter what. It seems disingenuous to say that early in the year and then act like those statements were never made in force on this page.
I am one of the 12 fans. Nebraska has the best fan base in the B1G. Almost all of the 49,988 that visit Evanston for your game are fine people. Just hope you aren’t one of them making the trip. Your attack on the opponents is not the best look when you had numerous chances to salt it away. See the rest of you next year.
Was nice of Fitz to give a pre-condolence of sorts. Don’t understand the gloating from a portion size f the board. It would have been better for the program had Riley worked out.
Guess every single week there's a loss it should always be brought up.
I do believe there are some who have said Riley needs time, but now think it'd be best if Nebraska moved on from Riley.
Wish I could give you 10 likes.
I must say I'm in agreement. Not sure why some of you guys must be so undignified in defeat. Does the Husker nation reputation for being some of the classiest fans around a great disservice.
4th and 5 on the wildcat 40 with 58 seconds left in the 4th and you punt the ball, that is the dictionary definition of not believing in your team and quitting.
Of coarse Fitz wants him to stay, he knows he can beat him.
Great description of NU football right now in this article: "Nebraska occasionally does some things well – it’s never easy to tell when or what might be good in any given game – but never enough things well to be any better than exactly what it is."
I've watched Kansas play a few times this year and have thought the same thing about them. They occasionally play well at times - but there is no single thing that you can rely on. Just little spurts of decent play, but in the end you are what you are.

And good luck to your Huskers in the rivalry games upcoming. See you next year.
He would be classy to your coach if you guys had just won and were 8-0, as well as if you were 0-8. He's not stupid; he knows he may want to hire Riley someday, or one of his assistants, or someone who played for him, etc. Coaching is a small world and you don't burn bridges if you can avoid it.
I for one will apologize for the rude responses. There is (unfortunately) a younger fan base that doesn't value being gracious in victory and complimentary in defeat. It may be the sign of the times, I don't know. Congrats on the OT victory!
