The Support the Coach thread
- Thread starter hddude55
- Start date
Hmmm Not sure if I qualify or not. lol I don't see this staff doing good here. I am willing to give him into next year to start calling for head. I think if he did have a true shot at producing here we would be seeing some sort of progress. We are going backwards as the year goes.
You have no choice but to support Riley and the staff unless you can write the buyout checks.
Firing a coach a year after firing a 9 win coach isn't going to attract quality candidates.

I'll still be waiting for your recant next year, you fat piece of shit.
Under yet another new account, hiding your IP address, talk about about a coward and piece of shit, you're the definition of both.
I'm in until I'm not in, then I am out 100%. I was 100% with Bo until the UCLA game in Lincoln, then I gave up. Obviously the last two games made my timeline on this staff much shorter than Bo got. Teams (in any sport or business) underperform due to underperforming rank and file, underperforming leadership, or both. I am of the mind the underperformance right now is 30% leadership and 70% rank and file. On the other hand, in my field really good leaders in one group move to other groups and are good there. Marginal leaders rarely move to other groups and are good leaders there. I guess I am confused about Nebraska football right now, just like many of us. HCMR and Eichorst aren't going anywhere for awhile, so I chose to support them for now.
I'm in. Have a lot of work to do, but I still think these guys can field some damn good teams in the future. There are WAY too many examples of coaches who stumble out of the gate and turn things around.
The people that really believe it would be in the best interest of Nebraska Football to fire these guys after 1 year don't understand how sports work.

I can support Riley but there was a reason why OSU AD told him he needed to make changes on the defensive side of the ball and find a replacement for Banker.
Today was a real blow. What can you do? Got to give him at least 3-4 years. Just hope he can do something he has never done in a lifetime of coaching.
Me too. I support Riley.
I saw a lot of defensive players in the 3rd and 4th quarters mentally and physically check out of the game.
I don't know what to think anymore. I like the guy but I have little faith in his ability to build a program at this stage in his life. If he doesn't win at least 7 games next year and bring in a Top 20 recruiting class, I'm not sure how he can justify a third year.
I would love for Riley and his staff to do well. Unfortunately, after giving up 55 to a bad team, it appears he has hitched his wagon to a loser DC.
I'll support him. I'll help him pack his stuff and move his candy a** back to Oregon.
If Riley was a mediocre coach we wouldn't have to wonder if our players have checked out. Which they have, it's only because they've kicked it into cruise control that it's become totally apparent.
from my posts, obviously I'm siding with TFraz and The Jet. I'm N with Riley and can't wait to see what the product looks like with a full boat of D-1 linebackers and a QB and O linemen that fit their system better.
You cannot play defense with only two quality defenders at your disposal.
Also raises hand.
Too early to get off the train. We have to see year 1 to year 2 transition, and I have a feeling its going to be a rather interesting off season.
Damon said a little earlier this year, we are who we are. Week to week we aren't just going to wake up and then have a Top 35 pass D. We're going to play mostly the same types of games over and over until something dramatic changes, be it personnel or the injury situation or another off season to develop further.
Fans always hope that "this week is the week it all comes to fruition" but as Verzal said today, the games are won in the off season.
I do not see ONE area that is improved over last year. Except the punter, but he is a year older so not sure that is due to coaching. The apparent lack of basic strategic planning such as today (pass v. run with a 1st time starter, which has been beaten to death already) after a 20 year head coaching career shows that is not going to change.
Also, IMO the coaching profession is so competitive Nebraska will never have trouble getting quality candidates to apply.

Write a 10 ,million dollar check and you can probably call the shots. Until then you better support your team's coach.
I've seen absolutely nothing that's leads me to believe that we are going in the right direction. On the field, off the field, recruiting...... We are average to below average across the board....and dropping fast. Somebody convince me that the future is bright, because I'm not seeng it.
Will this work?

I'm in for the long haul. I don't like what I see, but there is a lot of stuff going on here this year; new schemes, injuries, misguided loyalties and questionable talent. I expected more this season.. I expect much more next. I'll start popping off big-time if these guys biff on the recruiting front this year. GBR!
