Expectations over the next 5 years

As an optimist from the news of the hire and up until several weeks into the season, I was on board. Albeit I wasn't a fan of his decision to bring the majority of his previous staff.

After watching every game and every play, seeing the entire body of work throughout the season, It's apparent to me that we've gone backwards. I don't like any of the decisions Riley made this year as the Head Coach. He had his opportunities and blew them all IMO.

I like the guy, I like the style of football but I'm afraid he's going to have to catch lightning in a bottle to make it past another year.

 
When Bo's less-than-inspiring final speech to his team went public, it wasn't Eichorst who looked bad.
Time to move on into 2015 where Eichorst was booed at Memorial Stadium.
The fans were scum for doing that. I remember when Bob Brown was honored in Memorial stadium, it was the first time he returned since he played. Pederson introduced him. The fans booed and he thought it was about him. Sickening. Nebraska fans are a$$hole$ sometimes.
Brown did not think it was about him. Stop making things up.
Yes he did, I was close enough to see the reaction on his face. Imagine a hall of famer comes back for the first time in 40 years and the crowd boos when you are introduced. He has not been back. Nebraska fans can be a$$hole$ and they were on that day and also when Eichorst was booed this year.

I would have agreed with this one month ago. But we've looked pretty decent these past three games. Well, except for some of the QB play we saw on Saturday. It seems like the team came together after the debacle that was the Purdue game.

 
Time to revisit this one year later.

1. Failed

2. Does not look to be possible

3. Laughable.

Where are you at with the expectations you had this time last year?
Completely and totally underwhelmed. I was under the impression that just about anybody could coach this team to 9 wins, given the lackluster division we play in. I was not a fan of the hire at all, however, I thought that because of his experience, we might be a more fundamentally sound football team and that could even equate to a couple more W's. Damn, was I wrong.

We lost to Illinois and Purdue in the same season. I'd say our outlook for the foreseeable is bleak.

 
What about when they booed during the OSU home game comeback?
What about it?
Were fans being a$$hole$ as you put it.

I find it interesting you can read Brown's mind based on a facial expression.
I don't believe anyone was booing during the comeback so you can make your own judgement if you were even there.

There was no smile on Brown's face, just a WTF look so yes I can read body language pretty good.

Still just speculation.

It's possible he knew they were booing Pederson, but he made the face because he thought it was still inappropriate.

I agree with you that we became a little more competitive. But I'm referring to the decisions made over the entire season that were much deeper than wins and losses in his first year.

Yup, a guy that had not been back in 40 years and he knew they weren't booing him when the booing started the moment he was introduced. You can take that point of view if it makes you feel better. Or maybe you were one of the boo birds?

Win 70%+ of games and graduate good student athletes. Hopefully that includes some 10 to 12 win regular seasons.

Run a clean program.
Doing that didnt work well for the last guy. Thankfully Bo's focus on making good students is helping this coach get to a bowl game on 5 wins. Maybe MR should split his $150,000 bonus with Bo since that's the reason we qualify.

I keep hoping NU fans will learn their lesson.... maybe a silly hope.

 
In 2 years hire Scott Frost.
And bring in his "throw it all over the yard, PAC 12 basketball offense"???? This is freaking hilarious........ People here b!^@h about throwing it to much and you want the Frost offense????? Of course it is Frost, so he will do no wrong. LOL!!!!
Oregon throws the ball less than Riley. This is a known fact. Nebraska threw it 100 more times than Oregon...

You're assuming that just because he didn't live in/near Lincoln he was oblivious to the status of the program and the people running it? How elitist of you.

I'm not taking that point of view to feel better. In fact, I'm not taking anything. I'm just not naive enough to believe that you can read minds. I'm not a bird -- you need someone to give you one?
That is what happened, you obviously were not there, Nebraska fans were a$$hole$ that day and it was shameful.
