***Nebraska Athletic Director Search Megathread***

[Isle of View]

@Isle of View - Sorry - I had meant to quote 'fire mike' and I quoted you by accident. There was a poster named 'cm husker' that was in instant thread-destroyer here a little while back. 

 

Ahh, thanks.  When you said handle I thought you were talking about a big bottle of booze and fire mike was calling me a drunk!

The problem with Riley's timeline thus far is that we're seeing now that his supporting cast that he brought from Oregon State was just not good enough to take us back into relevance.

He's now fired, what? His DC, his secondary coach, and his defensive line coach. I like the fact that he made those changes; they speak to his competetive nature - I'm glad he made those changes, for sure. 

But now he's absolutely looking at needing to fire his offensive line coach. For as much as we've missed on bringing in a bit better offensive line talent, there just isn't the OL development that we need. 

And on top of that, Riley really doesn't even coach in-game; he leaves it up to his coordinators. This is a staff scheme where without the right position coaches and coordinators, it just doesn't work. It's not working. And in my estimation, it's completely correctable by Riley. He's corrected some of these issues but there are just so many more. Nevertheless, I still couldn't say for sure that Riley will be fired after this season. Quite possible.

Point?

TO hired a good football coach who turned out to be a jacka$$ when he had to work for another authoritarian jacka$$.  Now people know what kind of a jacka$$ he is, but once Pelini is off the NUAD dole, he'll be back on the market and someone will be willing to ignore the jackassery in return for the winning.  

I don't hold Osborne responsible for Pelini's personal failings.  That's all on Pelini (and a little on Harvey and Sean).

You have never met Bo Pelini, have you?

Actually, yes I have.

LOL.  He wasn't in any way "instrumental" in getting Pederson hired.  He gave a him a standard reference as a former boss. 

Would this standard reference as a former boss also apply with regards to Solich when AD Bill Byrne wanted to hire Bob Stoops?

This is pretty entertaining.

Actually, I feel bad about my part in this thread going off kilter. It's a good subject and the OP doesn't deserve this.  I'll report myself.

Something I was saying in another thread yesterday: would firing Cav even matter at this point? I suspect that it's not even so much that he's a bad coach, but rather the real underlying problem is that the system that Riley & Langsdorf want him to teach is crap.
