RE: Nebraska The schedule this year and next — the latter is especially brutal — aren't going to do us any favors, so some marked improvement is definitely necessary. We can lose to OSU, just not by, you know, 59 (though that game last year was just a lovely situation all around). But barring an epic early season collapse, I think Riley will survive this season regardless because I doubt Shawn Eichorst would fire him — he'll have probably been shown the door, too.

Already columns out about the mess Nebraska AD Shawn Eichorst has created, which is unsurprising. (E: the columns, but come to think of it ... gently caress) I don't know what the gently caress anymore. I didn't expect greatness but I also didn't expect us to get manhandled by NIU or barely eek one out against Arkansas State, either. I wanted Riley to succeed, of course, but this season could enter snuff film territory with back-to-back home dates against Wisconsin and OSU.

I feel like if they could pull someone at Mullen's level they wouldn't have wound up with Poor Man's Kirk Ferentz last time, though I guess they were also hyper focused on finding a nice guy. I think he was dialed in on Riley from the start. I've read twice in the past week that Eichorst also pursued Kyle Whittingham, but he would've been "too expensive" — and that's what makes me skeptical about the rumor. Nevermind that weird poo poo with Bielema that lasted a few hours; I still think that was bogus, given who we ended up with.

Feldman posted this last nightquote:Early speculation has Nebraska wanting to return to its roots by hiring Trev Alberts, now the AD at Nebraska-Omaha, to become the new athletic director, then luring former Huskers quarterback and current UCF head coach Scott Frost (who was Oregon’s offensive coordinator when Nebraska’s coaching job was last open in 2015 yet never got a sniff from Eichorst). A source plugged in at Nebraska told me there’s truth to that speculation. First things first, though, the university needs to move on hiring its new AD. The school announced Tuesday that another Huskers legend, Dave Rimington, will serve as the interim. Sure, fine, I guess

MourningView posted:Disagree. It'd be nice but it shouldn't be the top priority. There's gonna be a cap to how well they can recruit there regardless of who it is unless it's, like, Urban Meyer or something. They're far from any of the really talent rich states and no one in high school now remembers them as a super power. They need someone who is either really good/different tactically or someone in the Ferentz/Alvarez mold who can develop/scout like a motherfucker to get the most of the underrecruited talent in the area Dingdingding. (although Callahan did reel in a top 5 class in 2005  )

And here it is https://twitter.com/huskerextra/status/919632888341114881 Had been at Wazzu since 2010; was at Oregon from 1995 to 2007. Anyone want to tell me how I should think about this E: From Wiki quote:Moos left Oregon in 2007 after a dispute with Nike founder Phil Knight, who was a big donor to the Oregon Athletics program.[2] He had signed an agreement which pays him $200,000 a year for not taking an administrative position at a BCS conference university west of the Mississippi River. During his hiatus between 2007 and 2010, Moos took to raising beef at his Valleyford, Washington ranch. The exact reasons for his resignation are unknown, but the dispute with Knight regarding funding for an arena to replace the aging McArthur Court "strained a bit toward the end." After Moos resigned, Knight donated $100 million towards the building of a new arena for Oregon. Real Name Grover fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Oct 15, 2017 |

I was impressed by Moos in his intro press conference (plus we got to hear the story about his interview with Leach, which went about like you'd imagine it would). Afterward, in response to a reporter, he said something along the lines of "I don't see the point in firing a coach mid-season" so that answers that.

Nebraska is 4-4, having scored a go-ahead TD in West Lafayette with 0:14 to go last night. The rest of the sched: vs Northwestern @ Minnesota @ Penn State vs Iowa poo poo, we could finish 7-5 or 4-8 (though if we were somehow to win in State College, retain Riley, gently caress a Nittany). Not knowing how Bill Moos thinks, I'll venture a guess that not getting outright embarrassed at Penn State and winning the other three could buy Riley another year, but I sure as hell wouldn't bet on it. And if Riley goes, Plan A's going to be "Give Frost whatever he wants." No bloody idea what Plan B is.

Jesus christ, CB. Uh, anyway, RE: Mike Riley, if the coffin wasn't already nailed shut, it's been welded shut after that loss. I don't remember the last game played in which we weren't straight-up outcoached (save for Illinois, but c'mon). Watching Iowa destroy Ohio State, who beat us as comprehensively as I've seen a team beat us in memory, didn't help matters much. I just hope Bill Moos has a plan in case the draw of raising his kid near his grandparents isn't enough to bring Frost back home, or whatever the argument is. swickles posted:I meant more along the lines of keeping him a year to lower the buyout. Its a bad look if you can't land the top prospect coach who was the face of your school for a while. Better to just keep Riley and go after then top guy next year. It would be like if Tebow was the hot coaching name and he turned down Florida for another school. At this point, the majority of the fanbase and boosters would take just about anyone over Riley. Recruiting is already starting to suffer and next year's schedule is how-the-hell-did-the-B1G-clear-this hard. A new coach will get some leeway with it.

All of that would be fine, but I don't think he, Diaco, Langsdorf and several other position heads have proven they can coach worth a drat. I seriously struggle to think of the last game in which they outcoached anyone not named Lovie Smith.
