Mike Riley's Staff

If he can maintain most of this recruiting class, with the talent on the roster, next year should be ok.

Perhaps. But this is bigger than just next year.We need a foundation long term. I'm frankly sick of the coaching changes.

We needed a coaching change. In part because Bo surrounded himself with yes men. I don't want to swap one set of yes men for another set of yes men.

Oh, i agree. Bo made his bed . what's done is done.I'd just like some stability. Quality stability.

I think, if anything, what we hired is stability. I don't see a down turn. Not necessarily a huge gain, but no loss

If you were correct, then the change doesn't make sense.

We had 7 years of stability. Some would say maddening stability.

But I promise from this point forward I'll be positive. I must admit seeing what Scott Frost is doing at Oregon and his Nebraska legacy I thought he was a sure hire. Please no Scott Frost hire debate. It didn't happen. I feel they really dropped the ball, but let's move on.

Ok we can finally put the Frosty hire to bed for good.....

good,

Weve been dropping the ball for 15 years now.

Also for the posters who keep saying very little talent at OSU. They've had more talent then Nebraska. They've played in a BCS bowl In last decade. They beat both UCLA and Winny in 2012. We lost both those games. Oregon State is not the arm pit all you trying to claim to justify this hire and believe.

Check their past 5 recruiting classes, Nebraska has far more 4+ star players. The difference is that they can teach & make their kids better.

What if the new staff can't get those high 3 and 4 star guys to come here?

We may have a few more wins the next few years and a 2007like fall off.

Which is testament to how well Nebraska is still regarded. If our previous garbage talent developers could recruit that well than these coaches who've been doing more with less should be rockstars with Nebraska level recruits right?

Nobody knows what's in the crystal ball, but we can all wish for the best.

All signs point to the OSU staff being fantastic recruiters, I have no doubt they'll be able to pull at least the same caliber talent as Pelini & co.

Man didn't know their were so many high leve D1 football coaches on this board to judge the worth of an assistant coach before he coaches 1 minute at a school with significantly more talent and resources. Only time will tell their worth, not your blind assumptions.

 

[74Hunter]

I wonder if he was at least asked. If he was asked but turned it down, then i can see that. If they never even tried.

What if he was offered along with a big fat raise?

What would that say?

 

[Norhusker]

Will any previous staff members be retained? Maybe or maybe not. Let us hope foe some positivity.

I am just saying that you are comparing apples to oranges. We have more resources & facilities. This just like Miles coming to Nebraska. He will do much better here than Colorado St. Oh yes, there was a bunch of whiners in this board about that hire.

Sounds like another staff we had here.

As a matter of fact, Banker being "well traveled " reminds me off a former secondary coach we had.

It's hard to explain anything to the ignorance!
