Remember how posters on this board wanted to light up Gerry Dinardo as a washed-out coach and a hack for pointing this out?

Gerry's a good egg.

Did at Oregon St.......

Needs to do the same to Diaco.

I will say this, if Mike Riley is let go at the end of this season I hope whoever we hire next finds a way to keep Coach Parella on staff...and not just because he's a former Blackshirt. That man can recruit & he can coach.

 

[Dansker]

Somebody needs to get fired!  A lot of folks need to get fired.  Heads need to roll!  The green grass of our beloved Huskers' Memorial Stadium must be nourished with the blood of failed coaches!  

Shawn boy will go into hiding in his office and let his whipping boy of a head coach take all the blame.

 

[Bigz]

This team is a freaking Buzzz kill. damn

We will win this game. But someone will get fired. 

Do tell more ... you guessing oline coach?

 

[Nebhawk]

Flu or not, we should be able to find 11 players that can run, tackle, catch and win this game!  Cripes!

 

[lo country]

Coach Miles wouldn't be like that.  He'd be lighting a little fire under their hind quarters, hire him today.

My bad typo.

Diaco honestly isn't part of the problem RN. He was the problem the first half of Oregon. Since then...not so much. I was admittedly premature in jumping on the defense's case on that missed FG NIU drive.

We have two or three playmakers at most and they can't do everything. It is poor recruiting and poor coaching. The coaches we have are the worst in the Big 10. By the way, Purdue will run all over us this year. That team shows how a coach can make a difference in a small period of time.

 

[Big red surfers]

After the 2nd TO. As lee walking to the sideline. Mike all smiles. No pissed off look just a smile. There in lies the problem.

So... how many recruits are we losing today? Coaching and team looks like a joke. Fans booing. Smh....

Most of them.......

All the positive talk about Riley has been about recruiting.  But, when you see the output on the field after his 3rd year at the program, it does no good to have talent if you have a horrific on the field coaching staff.  Recruits will realize this, and we will lose many recruits as calls for Riley's departure will accelerate, and no recruit wants to go to a program whose coach may be fired.  I am all for Riley gone at this point even if it means we lose some recruits.

Well, enjoy the 2nd half everyone.  Regardless of outcome, that was so worthless i honestly don't care what happens.  This team deserves a loss today
