Looks like PatHadenFS has some competition now.

This is amazing.

Nebraska fires Bo: 7 straight 9+ win seasons and an overall record of 67-27
Hires Riley: 93-80 overall with not bowl-eligible for 3 or the last 5 seasons -
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.Doogles said:Good coaches get results no matter what yada yada yada, but I think there is some legitimacy to Riley doing "more with less".

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.
