Read fired

[little a]

So you say he does not preach physical play. Good you know that Uncle Milt was wrong by liking what he was doing.

You want Cav gone too- you stated very adamantly they should "fire EVERYBODY"

Yes. I was dead serious. For serious of serious.

Just admit that you really don't "get" 4.6.3.

There are those of us who live in the land of the real. And there are others.

I like 4.6.3. Either you get his biting sense of humor or you don't. Plus, you don't have to always agree with him to "get" him.

New direction in ST - check
Bowl win - pending
Top 15 recruiting class -pending

Dare we hope for the hat trick?

 

[frankluv]

One year too late.

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

But seriously, fire everybody. Always

Oh ok - so we can type whatever you want and snap at anyone that doesn't agree (insert condescending comment)- and then when your called out just make a crack "just joking guys"? And your Parrella rant- serious of serious as well?

 

[TruHusker]

They just keep proving they don't know what the hell they're talking about. When Mike Riley has pinpointed a problem on this team, he's made changes.

Those calling for Banker's firing didn't really watch how much better the secondary played compared to the last couple of years.

I am not so quick to heap praise on this secondary. A change to more zone has not exposed the weaknesses a tight man to man/quarters coverage requires. In many ways I was fairly disappointed in the corners this year.

Yup. Fire him. 1st year coach, fire him

 

[kaz36]

I see some haven't had their sarcasm detectors on here lately.

 

[TruHusker]

Cockroaches are super smart

I would like a link that measures the intelligence of cockroaches.

Watching this last press conference it was clear MR was not very pleased with special teams. He commented several times about it and made the huge comment about loss of field position. I was getting the feeling he was finally putting all of the pieces together and knew he needed to act on the data. I also think he looks at the athletes he has available on special teams here verses OSU and knows he should have better results. That is my speculation, never heard it anywhere.

I think this is a good move on a couple of fronts - first it needed to be done, things were not productive and that is what MR expects, second it sends a message that he expects results and is holding people accountable while obviously looking at what they have to work with.

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

Oh that's right! Links are mandatory here!

Did you just use the phrase "snap at people"? Are you a teenage girl?

You better stop hurting people's feelings, 4.6.3. Or else.

This is such an encouraging sign. Riley has now proven that he puts success at Nebraska ahead of personal friendship. This to me is huge news.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Cavs should be next. Need an online coach that preaches and practices physical line play. Will result in much tougher DL as well. Recruiting will only do so much, physical practices are the way to play physical

Can't have physical practices when you have absolutely zero depth.

Psssh. What do you know! I want blood!

That's what he lives for are you kidding me.

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

Oh come on. Can we be besties? I seen where you posted alot of good stuff lately. You seen any of mine?

 

[spartanhusker]

Should have never been hired. The man does nothing.

I respect your opinion here as much as anyone...when YOU say that, I listen....

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

That's what he lives for are you kidding me.

Please don't have hurt feelings. I would hate to seen that from you

 

[rrthusker]

I appreciate the kind words.

Get a room, you two.

[scarletred]

Stop. Stop posting. just stop... Look familiar.

 

[spinner4]

Best news I've herd in months. Riley did the right thing. When he does things like this, I gain belief in him more and more

 

[bigboxes]

Hater

 

[planored]

Saw that Read had worked with Riley for 16 years this was certainly not an easy move for MR and shows he wants to succeed and make tough decisions. I applaud that having been in those type of decisions.

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

Maybe someday you will understand. Not likely, but maybe

 

[tone1017]

Always feels weird to be happy when someone gets fired but the performance pretty obviously was just not up to par.

This is one of the reasons why I tried to talk you out of suicide the other day. I mean, I get that you were upset but people are fooling themselves if they didn't think that this decision was made off just Friday'a performance. The issue has been recognized and has been addressed. The man is here to win and is going to address holes in his program like a professional. Notice how he has fired two guys and been cordial about it and didn't cuss out his boss or embarrass the organization

 

[dinglefritz]

No doubt, this ain't Callahan or bo bo, you ain't pulling your weight. Buh bye

And we don't have a "never fired anybody AD". BP's wording in his contract that prevented the AD from canning one of his assistants for cause was just ludicrous. I can't imagine that MR has that same level of control. I don't like to see anybody fired but man our STs were just terrible. It really isn't that complicated. I suspect that SE had a hand in this. Contrary to some folk's opinions, SE isn't a football idiot. He could see what was going on and IMO whether or not MR made the decision or not, it was going to happen.

 

[dinglefritz]

I wish I could like this more than once.

I liked it too sooooo....hey wait. Aren't you a mod? I thought you guys could do anything you want.

 

[Jnood]

I'm already excited for DPE in returns next year!

Exactly. I was soooo damn pissed at getting blown out by Iowa. But posters like you, GBRhusker, Timsun and dinglefritz have had cooler heads and have talked me off the cliff.
I have supported Riley all year. I still do.
But f$cking damn I hated losing to Iowa like that. I really hate Iowa. Lol

Can't blame every thing on Riley... At least wait till he gets his style of QB or QB's in the system..
Need to improve on the O&D lines moving forward.

The guy knows football, and was a better player than 99% of this board dreamed of being. Amazing how that is shit on so much.
