We're ranked 50th in recruiting. I don't think Riley should be fired but not making that decision based on yet another average recruiting class makes no sense.
I agree with this. We cannot continue to fire. That said, I am extremely disappointed in all the hires we have had since TO retired.
Tom was an outstanding head coach, but a below average AD.
That there are 10 more games to go in the season and it's way too early to bring out the pitchforks and torches.
Only one hire was a complete failure. The Riley hire is trending in that direction. I laugh when people think Solich and Pelini were horrible coaches. Both won a lot of games, but didn't win enough or the ones that mattered in a lot of Nebraska fan's minds. We probably won't even sniff a division title with Riley. Any unbiased person could see Riley was a poor hire from the start. Nebraska is the place where 9-10 win coaches get fired only to be replaced by coaches coming off losing records.
You are absolutely correct we cannot fire Riley nor should we. I think he will retire in a few years if the trajectory of the program stays the same.
Yeah, there are fans that will still go even if we're not winning championships every year.
I suggest holding your breath. Or maybe a hunger strike.
Season tickets are out there to be had. These people you speak of must be idiots, if they pick up the phone and call the ticket office they will have tickets.
And we will likely be dogs in four remaining games. Will that make going 7-5 acceptable? No, we didn't get killed yesterday against a team that went 4-8 last year but the product on the field thus far in year 3 isn't really producing warm and fuzzies for the future.
I get the frustration towards the offense... Yesterday was frustrating to see, and it remains to be seen if Lee just had a bad game or if he will continue to be like that.
Solich and Pelini weren't horrible, but were not great. They were a Kirk Ferentz type of coach. Sorry - but I don't think that is acceptable to bring that type of performance in after our historic run.
The problem lies in the fact that we looked like chumps in the 1st half... As far as national respect goes, no one was even watching the second half besides Nebraska fans and Oregon fans.
Evidently you didn't watch the game. We were killed. The only thing that happened is Taggart made it a merciful killing by totally giving up the 2nd half. If he had come out the 2nd half like the first it would have been much worse.
Totally agree. We were told the 3-4 advantage is offense doesn't know where the rush is coming from? Well their is no rush. Our D is 3 vs 5 or 6 blockers. That doesn't work at any level of football. Our LB too slow to get home. We have so far to go to be relative it's not even a good conversation to have. Eichorst needs to be accountable to what the fix is. Coaching, players what is it!!! It's been 20 Years for crying out loud. Time to fix it.
