THAT my severely damaged friend, is Sunny of Mid 90''s WWF fame.  Just......don't look into her recently.  It...it ruins the mystique.

 
He has united the fan base.  While a few people still debate not only Bo, but also Frank, practically no one will think HCMR did not need to be let go.  He also has made it a lot easier on the next coach.  With next year's schedule a bowl opportunity will have to be regarded as a successful start. We are worse than 100th in rushing offense and worse than 100th in rushing defense, there is nowhere to go but up.

Ain't much, but it is something.

He is an excellent example for the young men he coached - on how to be a respectable, professional and caring person.  For those who don't go on beyond college ball (which is the majority) they've benefitted from spending time with him.

I'm pretty sure the biggest lesson a lot of them learned from their time under Riley is how to get by on half-assing things.

Starting a thread to focus on some positives and give everyone a chance to be gracious in light of MR being on the way out.  I am not an apologist, or believe that MR should stay.  It is time he is let go and we move on to another coach.  That being said we should all thank him and his family for coming here and trying to get us back to prominence.  HC in NCAAF FBS must not be easy and is probably like living under a microscope.  I honestly can't say I could have done any better so I can't be an a-hole about his performance; i have no right.  He did his best and failed, sh** happens and we have all failed at something in life so we can relate.  In light of this I'd like to thank Mr. Riley and his family for coming and wish them the best in whatever the future holds for them.  God bless you and  your family.  Some positives as we look to a new coach and outlook for the program:

1. Clean Program - MR leaves us with no major scandals or NCAA investigations under his tenure; currently or in the foreseeable future.  In this day and age it is a blessing to have this.

2. Cupboards are NOT BARE - MR leaves us with some decent talent on both sides of the ball: POB, Bryant...etc.. (some of you who follow the roster more closely can add to this)

3. Catalyst - MR's performance may have played a major role in the firing of ADSE and bringing in Moos which could be a real blessing for UNL athletics across the board and not just football.

4. Academics - GSR is at it's highest in 13 years.  At least the kids are winning in the classroom:

Feel free to add any other positives to this and please keep this thread positive.  No need to treat this like Divorce Court, we are better than that.

Don't know about a microscope but definitely a "fish bowl".  he's seen from every angle including top and bottom. 

MR is a good guy but after the dust has settled his carrer 500 record is reflective of him.  I did watch him in SD for this three years there and they were worse then his 3 in Nebraska.

that said, I wish Mike and his family the best.  I wished his tenure was better here but it is what it is.
