maybe, just maybe the problem is the man who hired him? There comes a time when its not all the assistants fault but the man hiring them.

We have been over this. Riley needs to go.
However, we were told that Parrella would coach up his guys and they would not.get their collective shit pushed in anymore (because... 90s).
Stop pretending and try to be consistent, I know it's hard to admit (this coming from someone who hoped Riley would succeed for the good of the program)
The fan based suffers from an unappealing sense of entitlement. We are not entitled to anything. Virtually every program in the conference has as much money, just as nice facilities, D1 athletes, fans that rev up their stadiums, overpaid and obscenely large staffs, that all want what ‘we’ want. This entitlement leads to a healthy dose of disrespect for these other programs...giving them the ‘chip’ on the shoulder when we play them.
It’s not easy, it’s not a right that we should be appointed something w/o earning it.
As for the team, it’s apparent, and has been, the PHYSICALITY and MENTAL TOUGHNESS pecking order has us behind iowa, wisky, much, MSU, OSU, PSU in the big ten, and neck and neck w/Minnesota and some years NW. It’s going to take good scheming and complimentary ball from all 3 aspects to win a steady diet of close games.

Well duh. Scott Frost! He will learn on the job here to possibly beat a team with a better than .500 record. Plus he played here in the 90s for Osborne. Anyone else gets no rope.
You can’t be serious. There isn’t anyone on this board including yourself that will put up with “some” losing seasons.
And what’s this “long term plan” you are seeking? The only long term plan any program should have starts with winning seasons so this really is a contradiction in itself.
4.6.3. And I don’t always see eye to eye but he’s right on with this one. Somehow this fan base has convinced itself that losing would be acceptable as long as a Nebraska guy is at the helm with some sort of long term plan that is completely different than any outsider can ever fathom.
Bring SF in.....I’m fine with that. But if we go sub .500 in season three I expect everyone here to be calling for his head just like we do with the “outsiders”.
Sometime it gets worse before it gets better. Lukewarm football. We are irrelevant.
Doesn't matter who I want what mattered is that Shawn Eichorst the lawyer should have never hired Riley who was going to be let go in Corvallis and bring the majority of his staff to Lincoln what up grade was that over Pelini 9-10 win seasons ????None other than he isn't a pompous ass like Bo.
This hire put the program back at least 3-4 years.
I should have known better to ask a serious question, my bad..
The same was said when we brought Riley in correct? That’s the point. Nobody likes this but you are saying it’s ok with a Nebraska guy. And we shouldn’t accept it with any coach

It's a serious answer. I want Scott Frost hired so I can go to games again and our idiot fans will not bitch every time something bad happens. I am dead serious. Why do you have a problem with me agreeing?
Bo Pelini would be so proud of you. Keep fighting the good fight against Nebraska for him!

Lol. So I want Scott Frost for a different reason makes me Bo Pelini. You sound like a perfectly sane, rational person. Nice chat little fella.
Still not adding anything other than insults and put downs I see. You bring so very much to the board.
Keep bashin those husker fans! Bo is so proud! He built a strong asshole coalition here and you are the official party cryer!

Fans can do what they want. I just want games to be fun again. Keep up the act little fella.
Go reread your post. Take the fact that Frost played for the Huskers out of the equation and tell me why it’s ok for him to have some losing seasons.
Never said SF is the only one who should be given time. The next HC, whoever it is, will need time. MR doesn't have time and has made no progress to be given more time.
It's not "OK". But it may be inevitable. This program is backsliding, and has been for years. A quick-fix is unlikely.
But you just keep on keeping on with MR. That's fine.

You specifically talked about Scott Frost. Stop moving the goal posts and making excuses. Own it. Stop being so "soft"
Guys I remember watching Nebraska football growing up (i'm 56) teams were pretty much the same, solid defense great special teams and option/ power run- based offense. This formula worked wonders for the program for the better part of 35 years but time have changed and Nebraska should, IMHO, change with them. In order to return to elite status start with the following steps.
1. Hire a competent A. D.
2. Hire a young ,energetic HC who can and will recruit top talent to NU.
3. Recruit California HARD
4 Make sure facilities are up to the standards of the other elite programs in college football
5. unite and reenergize the fan base, involve former players and alumni and sell the brand
6.make sure everybody- players, coaches, fans understands what Nebraska football means

One could argue the strength of the Wisky team offensively was always their OL so losing that battle was inevitable, and not bringing up the garbage tackling displayed by our OLB and CB is another thing, but please, continue bashing Parrella incessantly because *(&hole Coalition gonna a*(hole Coalition
Nope. Never said I’m on with Riley. You are completely missing the point. You think SF is that answer and say it’s inevitable to have some losing seasons and you did say it’s ok because eventually he’d right the ship.
I’m saying why should we accept some losing seasons to right the ship. Other programs have hired new coaches and never miss a beat. Wisconsin for one! Ohio State for another. Michigan.

Learn football, and stop making excuses for a JC level coach. His guys got singled all night. Backers could not touch ANYBODY until the running backs were already 3 yards past the LOS. Their pullers on the line were getting running starts at the players you are trying to blame. Newsflash: if the line is not expected to do their jobs against guys their size, why do you expect the backers and secondary to when they are severely outsized and the guys bearing down on them have a running start? Parrellas guys getting singled is a recipe for disaster.
Not taking sides here but maybe because he's a young coach. While I think that the ex-Husker plays into it BIG time for some, I think some think he could build and get better. I think thats what pisses people off the most about Riley and Co. Old experienced coach and staff that makes bone headed mistakes and doesnt really seem to get better.
But no, I think some people dont care about any of that and want a staff of all mid 90s stars.
Again you can’t comprehend all this. It started with you.
Maybe it is Frost! I’d be happy as hell to see him succeed just like anyone else.
BUT if you think having “some losing seasons” is ok with Frost, why is it not ok with Riley??????
Admit it. He’s an exhusker and that gives him some leeway. That’s all we are seeing by your original post.
Fine and I can agree with that. Bringing in a young fresh thinking staff can’t be any worse than what we have now. But I am not of the thinking that we need to accept some losing seasons because of it. We should never accept that no matter who the coach is. Right?
MR is headed for retirement. You really want to give him a few more years to "figure it out"? It's not that hard to see.
Well duh! Nobody is going to claim a 2nd losing season in year three is "ok". With Frost or anybody else.
Being an "outsider" has nothing to do with it what-so-ever. It's just a stupid excuse for our grossly inept current staff. Nothing more, nothing less.
Lol well obviously it’s hard for you to see. I’m not on board with this staff. I’ll say it again. NOT A FAN OF THIS STAFF - THEY NEED TO GO.
Just not going to accept losing seasons by the next one either no matter who it is or where they played, coached or watched football!

Bingo. The fact the TC can't admit that is a HUGE Red flag.
Riley has a 20 year track record of mediocrity. He's not going to "figure it out" at 65 years of age.
We gave Pelini 7 long years despite his shenanigans, and he was not an ex-Husker. The next coach will be given the same leeway as long as he doesn't have 2 losing seasons in 3 years. Show me another blue-blood program that has kept a coach after at least 2 losing seasons in 3 years.
I don't see any future with Riley who ever the Head Coach is
You do realize that if Frost is hired the style of offense and defense will be changed especially on offense...
With that schedule of all those road games we face it will be very difficult for a new staff and schemes to have a winning season so it wouldn't be that surprising if they had a 5-7 season and least we would be seeing more of a future of what we could become instead of another year of Riley with no future.
