My gut feeling is win or lose the Iowa game MR announces a mutual agreement with Moos he will be leaving Nebraska. Doesn't quit and isn't fired and terms are to be released by the athletic department at their discretion.

It probably depends on how annoyed he is with Nebraska for making him take on Billy Devaney and Diaco. I'm not implying we would be in the title game with Banker and w/o Devaney, but he may feel he was set up to fail by Eichorst.
He doesn't need to be fired to have his parachute. Moos doesn't get anything good out of firing Riley but Riley does beed to be replaced.Riley will straight up make Nebraska fire him. He will take every penny he is entitled to. He won't give back one cent. Why would he?

What? I say off with his head!My gut feeling is win or lose the Iowa game MR announces a mutual agreement with Moos he will be leaving Nebraska. Doesn't quit and isn't fired and terms are to be released by the athletic department at their discretion.
I don't care how nice you are, nobody gives away money that they're entitled to!
While I certainly don’t enjoy all this losing, I gleefully LOVE to keep taking shots at Riley. The Riley lovers kept banging away at everyone that didn’t agree with them. I could see he was going to go down in flames early on but THEY kept banging away. Now it’s my turn to revel in their misery!No reason to be dick heads about it. You won, he’s going out in flames. Embarrassed as bad as he can be. And as low as possible. I don’t blame Riley for trying, coming to the Huskers and giving it one last shot at hitting it big. He screwed up, he couldn’t do it and wasn’t the HC for THIS job. But no reason any of us have to ass hats about it. He will go out as humiliated as possible. Hell even the press guys today after the game was asking HIM about the Frost deal and so on....my God. Again, he’s getting fired. No reason at all to throw salt on the wound.
It is absolutely amazing what you can get away with when you are a “nice person”. Ever see a con artist be anything but a nice person when they are setting you up to be fleeced?LOL...so Riley will be fired, but we just won't use the word "fired", or "terminated". Good for us.
He deserves to be fired. He is terrible at his job. Why does it have to be sugar-coated?
Seems like the best option for Riley. Unless he wants to look like a complete dbag, I would hope he wouldn’t be litigious.My gut feeling is win or lose the Iowa game MR announces a mutual agreement with Moos he will be leaving Nebraska.

If Riley would have had a backbone he would have told Ginger to screw off over the Diaco hiring. Ginger would have had a hard time firing him since they were linked together.It probably depends on how annoyed he is with Nebraska for making him take on Billy Devaney and Diaco.

Such vitriol!While I certainly don’t enjoy all this losing, I gleefully LOVE to keep taking shots at Riley. The Riley lovers kept banging away at everyone that didn’t agree with them.

They kept on with Bo this and Bo that. I agree it was time for Bo to leave. He wore out his welcome here. Riley can’t hold a candle to Bo. Bo took over a program that was in the crapper and instantly won 9 and 10 games per year. Now Riley will exit with the program back in the crapper.
I hope the next guy can pull us back out. Let’s get back to winning a bunch of games and playing physical football again. Enough of this powder puff shit!
I have said this a million times. I have never seen a guy praised so much for being a normal regular person.I don't think Mike earned it. I don't care about entitled or not, he needs to ask himself if he earned it. I don't respect Mike at all. I don't get respecting someone just because they are nice. The truth is, being 'nice' is more about social manipulation that anything else. Mike stands there like a politician and plays this nice person persona and lots of people fall for it. I think he's a lying piece of garbage for what he's done to the program and how he's mismanaged so much and lied to the fan base. Mike Riley is a disgrace.
What is there to be litigious about? He's owed the money and he's going to get every penny of it. And Riley didn't create the asinine notion that every college coach absolutely needs a contract extension every time the Earth makes a lap around the sun - he's just one of many who's going to benefit from it.Seems like the best option for Riley. Unless he wants to look like a complete dbag, I would hope he wouldn’t be litigious.
In all honesty, I would think Eichorst’s extension of MR’s contract could be argued to be void. Seeing as Eichorst seems to have had a screw loose. But I suppose he was representing the University Athletic Department at the time. There must be some sort of legal precedent for one drafting a contract whilst in a state of mental incapacitation.
Well, a contract is a contract. He didn't come to us begging for a job. NU went after him and he said yes. He's entitled to every dime he is owed according to the contract. Am I happy about it? NO. It is what it is.My gut feeling is win or lose the Iowa game MR announces a mutual agreement with Moos he will be leaving Nebraska. Doesn't quit and isn't fired and terms are to be released by the athletic department at their discretion.
I would call him asking for any money beyond this year litigious. And the contract extension was doctored by a man who, not only has questionable decision-making skills, but also who was fired for (reason?) mere months after granting said contract extension.What is there to be litigious about?

$ should be deducted from Eichort’s pay/severance.Well, a contract is a contract. He didn't come to us begging for a job. NU went after him and he said yes. He's entitled to every dime he is owed according to the contract. Am I happy about it? NO. It is what it is.

I'm not telling you how you should "feel" about Riley getting the money he's owed. You are free to be as pissed about it as you want to.I would call him asking for any money beyond this year litigious. And the contract extension was doctored by a man who, not only has questionable decision-making skills, but also who was fired for (reason?) mere months after granting said contract extension.
I agree, he’ll likely get “every penny” he was contracted to get. At the same time, Nebraska fans should have zero reason to feel bad for the dude. I wish I could be very bad at my job, and walk away one day getting paid millions for the two years after my departure. Because a clownshoe decided to give me the extra few mil for having done nothing.
But Scott Frost is coming. He will be here forever, needs 10 years, and everyone to lay off. The excuses have already started for the next guy. So who cares about any other coaches.Yeah, coaches will be lined up 3 deep to coach somewhere that the AD litigates against a fired coach trying to collect on a mutually agreed upon contract...
Riley did not come to NU - NU came to Riley and as Eichorst said he was selling like never beforeI don't think Mike earned it. I don't care about entitled or not, he needs to ask himself if he earned it. I don't respect Mike at all. I don't get respecting someone just because they are nice. The truth is, being 'nice' is more about social manipulation that anything else. Mike stands there like a politician and plays this nice person persona and lots of people fall for it.

Good Idea. This would be my preference.My gut feeling is win or lose the Iowa game MR announces a mutual agreement with Moos he will be leaving Nebraska. Doesn't quit and isn't fired and terms are to be released by the athletic department at their discretion.
you really need to drop this line of thought - its idioticBut Scott Frost is coming. He will be here forever, needs 10 years, and everyone to lay off. The excuses have already started for the next guy. So who cares about any other coaches.
If Nebraska tries to get out of paying Mike Riley as agreed, or tries to litigate out of the contract, do you think any other Real Coach would want to put their Trust and Livelihood in the hands of an employer that would try to cheat their employees? Especially the one you would be replacing?Seems like the best option for Riley. Unless he wants to look like a complete dbag, I would hope he wouldn’t be litigious.

Ohh come on, don't be shy...tell us how you really feel!I don't think Mike earned it. I don't care about entitled or not, he needs to ask himself if he earned it. I don't respect Mike at all.

I am not perfect and have had a number of failures in life, most small, a few significant. I have been fortunate that when I failed, no one took "glee" in it. Our program is bad, Nebraska football is irrelevant, our fan base is miserable and apathetic, and the team is struggling. Reveling in this misery is so far off my radar I can't connect with your post in any way.While I certainly don’t enjoy all this losing, I gleefully LOVE to keep taking shots at Riley. The Riley lovers kept banging away at everyone that didn’t agree with them. I could see he was going to go down in flames early on but THEY kept banging away.

I think Mike Riley should feel bad taking a potential 2-year salary after what he was responsible for at Nebraska. And the guy who extendes the contract...was fired. Likely due to incompetence.If Nebraska tries to get out of paying Mike Riley as agreed, or tries to litigate out of the contract, do you think any other Real Coach would want to put their Trust and Livelihood in the hands of an employer that would try to cheat their employees? Especially the one you would be replacing?
Because rather you like it or not, that is what it would be, and that is exactly how it would be viewed around the country within College Football.
And consider other than the extensive bad PR, what if Nebraska would lose in court? They would be guilty of trying to wrongfully withhold compensation from an employee. Millions of dollars in compensation. How much above the compensation, could the financial damages be that could be awarded to Coach Riley? It's just not worth it. We need to move on.
Just a thought.
