RUMOR: Decision on Mike Riley Already Made, Will Be Let Go

[Warrior10]

Bro he is not comparing the two he's just saying so it doesn't look like we just s#!tted on Riley after only three years that's all he's saying and you are literally taking offense to this

It's him getting "s#!tted" on. It's him being hired to do a job and him not doing it at the level required, therefore being fired. That's how the real world works. After the contract is satisfied we don't owe him a thing, he doesn't owe us a thing. No reason to keep him around.

How confident are you in this source? What avenue is he claiming to get his info from? PowerT doesn’t seem like the type to spread just any rumor

Agreed, CoachPowerT is not in the avenue of starting or spreading rumors.

I cannot remember a single time CoachPowerT has gotten on here and spewed falsities.  I appreciate the share.

The title of this thread is literally about Riley's job status... So. Carry on?

The thread title is a rumor that the decision has already been made. It would be nice to not have to wade through another thread of the same arguments taking place on every other thread. I appreciate the info aspect of it, sorry.

If Florida takes Frost, I would like to see Justin Fuente.

IMO, Frost will not take the Florida gig.. it would be a huge mistake! Not all P5 jobs are the same.

A couple of things.

People were way off about the AD rumors, not even close

Any discussions about SF would have to run through UCF.  I doubt there could be that much conversation and no rumors anywhere out of UCF.

Although it could be MR knows he is gone and SF has been contacted using back channels and has agreed to come in principal through his agent.

Not doubting that people are hearing, just doubting they are hearing it from people who know.

Communication with UCF doesn't have to occur until they want to speak with Coach Frost directly. Even then you can go around the AD, but that isn't how it usually works. Contacts/communications with agents and then you ask for permission from the AD to speak with so and so. AD's allow communication to happen. Just the way that stuff works.

from someone very very high in the University side- not in the AD. Just hasn't been released to the press yet. Anyone else hear this too? I didn't get a specific timeline as to when it would be announced but the decision apparently has already been made.

Yep. Matches what I posted about what the poster on Scout said a couple of weeks ago.

I get that, I just think if some of that has happened, there would be a little smoke.

would you mind refreshing me on what that is? I must've missed it

Almost as exciting as Frost being head coach would be if he from Chinander in as Defensive coordinator.

If Frost comes the only reason he doesn’t bring him is if UCF offers him the head gig

There is a poster on Scout that is connected to some higher up people. No clue who those people are though since he never shares that info. Once and a great while he will drop a note and history is accurate. This week he said agents are talking and our AD is way ahead of things.

Agents are speaking right now, no need to wait until the end of the season.

Moos is ahead of the game.

We good.

Of course the decision has already been made. Eichorst didn't get fired for Riley's performance back in September so that the Football Guy AD would not get a chance to hire his Football Coach.

Riley was fired 4 years ago...he just didn't know it.  He got a life-line because of he attitude and niceness.

Power 'T I hope you and your source are right!  It would be really really cool to actually feel genuinely excited about the future of Husker football again.

Man I hope this plays out o.k.
