I'd prefer keeping Mike Riley to hiring Bert. I want NOTHING to do with him.
I think the only people mentioning him are people that think Nebraska needs to emulate Iowa and Wisconsin, because, well,

They don't realize that Nebraska outrecruits the rest of the division pretty easily and just needs some competent coaches--the collapses under Pelini make me think that he wasn't a great coach, and he still won 9-10 games a season.

EDIT: NO, Mike Leach. I like the dude as a coach but he'd be a HORRIBLE personality fit at Nebraska. gently caress that, it'd be miserable for all parties regardless of winning.

Not following recruiting I don't know the details, but seeing Nebraska get smoked by guys from the state is frustrating.

They offered Fant and just lost out to Iowa on him. IIRC they were close to flipping him toward the end. Bazata they ignored but that’s hard to knock them for because his only other off was South Dakota State. He was one of those dudes Reese Morgan pulls at the last second from the middle of nowhere that seem to always work out (see also Josey Jewell)

This hire feels crucial, and it's already a dog and pony show.

A lot of the "Florida will be fine" nonsense that's been floated since Urban bailed is starting to dry up. Maybe we won't.

Single most talent-rich state in the country and the backing of the SEC, you will forever be fine unless half the state succumbs to flooding from global warming and/or the SEC implodes. It's dumb to think otherwise.

If the SEC implodes, the ACC will take them. Good school, plus football and basketball teams are (usually) good.

He’s old and has been mostly bad for a long time. Why not at least try to get someone good instead of someone you know for a fact probably tops out at like 5 wins?

Was Riley the guy who bought a house that his wife couldn't live in for some allergy reason and then they just lived in a hotel instead for like a year?

I swear I read an article on something like that back after he was hired at Nebraska.

I didn't say it wasn't. Just that Tennessee has had two straight recruiters who can't coach, if they want to hire another, be my guest. It was the exact same logic used to hire Al Golden at Miami.

Marquis de Pyro posted:

I don't know why we have to argue about this every 3 months. Look up the all time records dude, your team is loving garbage. You're in the Northwestern/Duke/Vanderbilt tier all time. The recent stretch Michigan has had that makes Michigan fans insane and has seen us go from fans of a powerhouse program to a miserable also ran that never wins anything would be historically great at Rutgers. That's how lovely you are. gently caress man. Why is this so important to you? Rutgers won TWO big ten games this year! You're on the way up! Stop living in your lovely past!

I mean look at this poo poo



And if you're saying, AHA, look at those bitching Frank Burns years that show we haven't been a doormat for the past 4 decades, it's because Rutgers had found its level back then and played similar football schools every year, like Bucknell, Yale, Princeton, Villanova, Cornell, Holy Cross, Colgate, Holy Cross again, Villanova again, Bucknell again, and William & Mary.

When Rutgers has been in a real conference, they've been bad, outside of like 2 good years with Schiano. That's been true for almost 100 years

So your argument is you're a spoiled Michigan fan and anything that's not Bo is poo poo.

If you actually look at the yearly records and schedules, the norm is Rutgers playing an average schedule and being mediocre. What you cited completely contradicts your argument. Schiano was slightly better than Dick Anderson and Doug Graber playing worse schedules, while having way more institutional advantages. Frank Burns was the best coach of them all in that he was competitive against top SEC teams.
