Good coaches get results no matter what yada yada yada, but I think there is some legitimacy to Riley doing "more with less".
Don't underestimate just how much OSU has to scrape the bottom of the barrel for talent. It's embarrassing to lose to OSU because they are big sky in a lot of areas. It's a shitty fucking gig, probably worse than wazzu.
The Nebraska AD is really putting his neck out with the hire, and I agree a place like Nebraska should have put a serious search on before pulling the trigger on a schlep like Riley, but LIPO.
That being said, on the surface this is a worse hire than Wilingham to U-Dub. Holee shit i'd be pissed if i was a classy corn shucking alum.

The recruiting rankings generally have them in the middle. He had more than enough talent to at least get shit tier bowl eligible every year.

The more I think about this, the more dumbfounded I am. This is fucking Nebraska man. Maybe I am living in the football past but places like Oklahoma, Nebraska, USC and Ohio State should never have to scrape the bottom of the shit barrel for a coach.
As I said, PatHadenFS has some serious comp. Fucking idiots. Both of them. Praise be to Allah.
I have a slightly higher opinion on Riley than the consensus in the thread but when I first saw the thread I honestly thought it was a joke. Riley is 61! How long is he going to be there and how much energy will he have to recruit and glad hand, etc. Hire doesn't make any sense.
Yep, and Dennis Erickson also added 3 more after taking over Riley's program. I know everyone mocks the "didn't have to deal with a ranked Oregon State" bullshit from tLPT, but Oregon state was really really bad before the RileyEricksonRiley days.
Still not a great hire. Riley was pretty bad this season and he'll be 62 next year. It is the Big10 though. Any fucktard can make a bowel in that conference.
Honestly, we knew about this for a while, but there are some things that we can report but some things we're asked by very important people to keep quiet. But I'm surprised, that you all are surprised.
You know the hire sucks when you have to resort to, "Wait till you see the rest of the staff!" Riley will get a chance to prove himself, but it's bad hire.
Is this supposed to be some amazing stat? He's coached at OSU for 14 years. If he was the average OSU coach you would expect 5/14 based on that tenure length. Should Nebraska be happy with someone who was above-average at OSU?
Somebody tell me how many 1-15 seasons the Chargers have had since joining the NFL.

Whether that is a good or bad thing for Nebraska, we'll know in about 3 years.
