Why would you fire your Athletic Director in September?

[YellowShirt]

Surprised more people aren't talking about them reaching out to Rimington for the interim AD position.

Well you know what, probably not but thats why you play the games. If he goes 8-4 he gets another year, period. You dont fire a coach who won 8 games after only 3 years.  Especially if we go to Indy. 

Nebraska has a recent track history of canning head coaches who have done better in a season.

So you bring him back for next year and we get maybe 8-9 wins again then left saying it is justified to fire him now after 4 complete years. Do we want to start the rebuilding process now, or in 1,2,3 years from now? For some miraculous reason we are considered to be in a rebuild season right now in Riley's 3rd year. This is the year new coaches at programs should be hitting their stride and showing major improvements. Instead Nebraska has taken a huge step back.

If some people had their way Riley would get an extension through 2030.

Liar.
Also, unfunny.

Only thing that concerns me is that potential AD hires might see this as a knee-jerk reaction firing. Even if it wasn't done Monday morning, it's still basically right after an embarrassing loss.

Exactly and there are coaches on record saying that firing a 9 win coach is insane and they would never go to a school that does that.  And also every national media member thinks we are delusional for firing a 9 win coach so it is terrible publicity.

Any poster that honestly thinks this staff gets 9 wins against next years schedule need to find a rehab/detox facility asap

Make a list of posters you think think that? Really not sure what you and Nobody are reading.

Geez. Memory of a monkey.

I meant to have an emoji to show it wasn't supposed to be totally serious.

"Defend" wasn't quite right.  But you apparently did forgive him.

I rescind my notion to can Eichorst and Riley, as they are now going for Black Friday.  This has been my only complaint of them.

I've never heard an active coach say that on record. Please cite.

It had been mentioned before, but it was more piggy backing the scenario the two prior posts were discussing.  So calm down princess

I don't believe he ever said what you are claiming he said, especially that he'd "never work for a school that fired a 9 win coach"

I for one welcome the coming Scott Frost & "Former Nebraska Player AD" era. 

 

[Ratt Mhule]

That's not saying it's asinine to fire a 9 win coach and that he'd never work at a school that fired a 9 win coach.

You can interpret that any way you want but he is saying he didnt accept the job bc of that reason.

Yeah, I was just saying it was a big deal originally if you would've seen my posts you'd understand where I came from.

The guy then stepped up and said he was wrong on Black Friday.

I have compassion and liked that he said sorry and changed stance.

Im not vouching for him keeping his job, just said I liked that he changed when he found out everyone loves Black Friday games.
