Elf vs Huskerboard

[Elf]

In regards to the bold, maybe, maybe not. You can be capable of meeting those metrics but still miss the mark for various reasons, some of which might be out of your control.

And if it was things that were out of your control, a competent boss would realize that and not fire you for it.

Again, not necessarily. You're speaking in absolutes and there are far to many variables in human interaction to speak in absolutes.

Please quote where all I gave was my opinion. I'll wait patiently.

Nothing but crickets on that one....

And yet you continue to say that Riley absolutely didn't fire Banker because he realized that Banker wasn't good enough to get the job done...

Quote where I've said that. I'll wait patiently.

Ok?

I'm hardly stretching. It's stretching to think Riley would hire Banker if he thought he wasn't any good. Riley told us why he fired Banker and adding anything else to it, like "Banker just wasn't very good" is simply projecting your own opinion into the facts. Riley kept Banker with him for years when he didn't think he was a very good coach? Yeah, I'm not buying that one at all. Lol

Are we gonna argue the semantics of this statement now?

You can call it what you want, but I never said

I have no idea what you're getting at or wanting me to do with this.

Are you trying to make me find a place where you gave an opinion? Your opinion is that the reasons Riley gave publically for firing Banker are the complete and only reasons that he was fired.

Lies again. I've never said that either.

I don't even know why this is so hard for people.

Because you're coming off as obtuse purely for the sake of being obtuse, Elf.
Your "position" can be easily interpreted and boiled down to a simple statement - Banker didn't do very well at Nebraska. That's what everybody is saying. Is it really worth arguing the semantics of "he wasn't good enough" or his past experiences with Riley? I mean, my God, you're both saying things that are far more similar than they are different.

Exactly, which goes back to what I said earlier. If Banker was dealt a bad hand (aka was good enough) then he'll get hired somewhere else soon, and do quite well.

Other peoples reading comprehension issues are not my fault.

OK. I get it now. You've spent two or three pages arguing over something that you have absolutely no opinion about. Got it.

I think you're missing the point that you don't actually have to say "my opinion about this is ...." to express an opinion.

I think you're missing the part where when you give an opinion, it doesn't automaticaly turn into facts.

He's just pissed off because he doesn't like a certain poster here.

Another troll from a mod.

No, I'm not.

I think you're missing the difference that some opinions - while still opinions - are significantly likely given the set of facts around them while other opinions are just throwing things against the wall to see if something sticks.

Yeah, Nebraska tried Gerry at LB...he's not tough, or physical, enough to play LB.

He's Charmin. A soft, weak, half-speed, player.

Sorry fellow Nebraska fans, I'm just not a Nate Gerry fan. I think he embodied and carried forward for two years, every thing wrong about the former coach.

If he excels with the Eagles, terrific, I'll congratulate him. But I'll never root for, or like, him as person or player.

dude, you have a grudge problem, this kid is the sh#t!....he will play a role for the Eagles!

I'm not saying he won't.

I'm saying not a fan of his. His words, after the loss to Purdue in 2015, still rankle me. He flat out admitted that they hadn't "bought in." The extremely poor play we saw against BYU, Illinois, Purdue, etc, painfully highlighted the lack of "buy in."

In football speak, not "buying in" means you go half speed, you don't care, and you're holding a grudge because the coach who recruited you got fired.

And then he didn't do his school work and wasn't eligible for the bowl game his senior year--which was 100% inexcusable.

So yeah...not a fan of the former #25.

The lack of buy-in was on Riley. His job was to coach and inspire this team to win games.
We lost most of those games because of a poor scheme, not because the players weren't trying hard enough. If it was that easy, we wouldn't have just hired two new coordinators.

It's 100% understandable to be upset that his inability to go to class resulted in his suspension, but that kid played hard for us.

Dude, buy in is on the kids...not the coaches. The coaches are already bought in to their program and how they run things. Kids have to step on the bus. You can't make kids you coach do anything...they have to want to do it. You can't force kids you coach to do anything more than I could force a liberal to 'buy in' on conservatism.

We lost those games because the players lacked focus because they didn't care enough....they were still pissed that Pelini was gone...and they admitted they did that.

.... and because our defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator were terrible.

Were they terrible because they were terrible or were they terrible because the kids didn't buy in?

What you said isn't a fact...it's just an opinion. Just like what I said.

Well, my opinion was apparently shared by Riley so.....

Maybe with Reed it was, but it wasn't with Banker. Riley told us why he fired Banker, he was given things to improve upon and those improvements didn't happen. So he's gone. It really is that simple. Just because you want the reason to be different, doesn't mean it is.

And I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you. Trust me. If I tell you that's what it is, you can just believe it at face value.

LMFAO!!!

You have zero connection to the program, so your opinion is no better or worse than anyone elses here. And, it's just an opinion. If that hurts your feelings, to damn bad because its the truth.

So what connections to the program do you have to know it's the truth?

I don't make claims that my word is to be trusted.

Only one person in this thread has done that and unless you can prove some sort of connection to the program, then your word is pretty worthless.

No, he hasn't. You're edging on making it personal.

Guys. Stop edging and get it over with.
