Um...no it's not. I can't stand Pelini, but I think this could have been handled better. It has been 2 weeks since the season ended, and if Riley was the only person that made the decision, he could have done it before people went out on the road to recruit. That's why I think Eichorst had a role in this too.
No
Agree, don't necessarily have a problem with firing Banker over the phone....it's the timing of it that is confusing to me. It's been over two weeks since the season ended. I doubt Riley just woke up on Wednesday and decided on a whim to fire a guy he's worked with for 20 years..so why not do it before he went on the road recruiting?
Nobody know, he prob thought Lincoln would change thing and some continuitY would be good. mR has proven he will make changes is that a good thing?
I sooo hope you are wrong, but I suppose the players are going to be learning the nuances of a new defense, so we could struggle next year with the more difficult schedule.When a HC is on the hotseat himself, friendships do not matter. It's every man for himself.
A year from now... the AD will fire Riley the same way.
Patience Grasshopper. When you can snatch the pebble from my hand, we will have a great new DC.
Perhaps but none of us know the situation when he came here either. We can sit back and bitch or we can what is doing to try and get better. I don't look back
You like to make a huge point about the staff and athletic director being professionals. But the way a lot of things have been handled lately has been very unprofessional. You shouldn't fire someone over the phone when you can do it face to face.
I just don't get the timing of this. Why has there been nearly three weeks transpire with Diaco being available. If Riley is calling the shots and feeling like a change should be made, why not make this happen earlier? We now have two weeks wasted in getting Diaco on the recruiting trail.
Tom, you love throwing darts at a board but at some point, you'll realize all the hole marks left in the drywall.
The timeline question is a good one, not sure what the answer is... but it was the dead period up until yesterday, so I wouldn't say we wasted time on the recruiting trail... at best we lost phone time. I'm sure that's a problem, but less so than losing time on the recruiting trail.
If the NFL guy won't talk to you, he's not all that interested. If this played out like the above, then you are telling us that the only reason we got Diaco was because this coach's team lost last weekend? If they had won, then Diaco would be yelling "pig sooey" or jumping around in Madison...and we would still be stuck with Banker next year?
That's the way it works when there are a lot of moving parts. We would all be talking about Haslett's run in the NFL or Tosh Loupi's recruiting chops and we would be none the wiser.
Position guy. This is assuming everything that's been shared with me is accurate.
Don't act ignorant on how things work. I'm not gonna play your little game.
That's standard practice on here to call you a troll if your thoughts don't align with H.T.O and his servants.
We'll see if Diaco > Banker. For Riley's sake he better be! The 2 years Riley wasted could end up biting him in the ass. I assure you there are some very influential boosters that don't find all this comedy one bit funny.
I saw that post of yours in thread they locked. It was funny as hell. Lol. I am shocked they didn't ban you. It was all true though. Lol
If you're not a business owner or in HR you should be. Sounds like you would always make the perfect hires.
Ironic after what you said in the other thread, that's since been deleted.
Look chief, Riley is on a shorter leash now after he wasted 2 years. You don't comprehend well do you?
the ad could have done it, and that dirk guy from the owh could of asked bo how he felt about it, right after...ahhhhThat is AWESOME!!Would have loved that!!
This season's 9-4 record did not effect Riley's tenure here for better or worse.
Come on Husker Tom Osborne. Leave my husband alone.
