Some good quotes about the situation from the local beat writers:

From Dirk Chatelain of the Omaha World-Herald, who describes Riley's first season as "a complete disaster":

Nebraska basically has two options: Fire the athletic director now, then the coach at the end of the season, as it did in 2007. Or ride this thing out. ... Practically speaking, Nebraska has no choice but to endure this disaster for three more weeks. Hope like heck that Riley can make the proper offseason decisions to turn it around in 2016.

From Lincoln Journal Star columnist Steven M. Sipple:

University leaders may soon -- very soon -- have to make a choice: gamble that Eichorst hired the right guy in Riley and ride out the rough waters, with or without Eichorst. Or start over again from scratch -- new AD, new coaching staff.

From Omaha World-Herald columnist Tom Shatel:

It doesn’t get any lower, does it? Mike Riley was hired by Shawn Eichorst to avoid these embarrassments. Now the pitchforks are out and it’s not because of Halloween. Forget it. Neither Eichorst not Riley is getting fired and shouldn’t. The Nebraska job would become radioactive in the coaching frat. Moreover, it’s not how Nebraska needs to do things. This is Riley’s first year. Give the man some room.

That's the thing, we aren't going to fire Mike Riley in season one. No matter how bad the results. If we did, there is no way we'd be able to attract a decent coach. Lincoln would be toxic.

People keep saying that, but no one provides any evidence.

I'll head right over to Shawn Eichorst's house, tap on his bedroom window, and get a signed affidavit from him.

And this would prove the coaching job is toxic how? The lack of logic here befuddles me!

Wut?

How would asking Eichorst if the coaching job would be toxic, PROVE that it would be toxic??? Follow the conversation line its not rocket science, or do we need Eichorst to sign off on that one as well?

Read much, do you? My joking comment above about tapping on Eichorts' window had nothing to do with the toxicity of this place. So I said "wut?" Then I bolded the sentence, originally from post #3. I even increased the font size of the sentence in the hope that you would see it.

Here, let me reproduce it below, so it won't go off on another one of your rages:

That's the thing, we aren't going to fire Mike Riley in season one.

Lest there is any misunderstanding, let me explain, in plain words, the joke of post #7: Since the media quoted in the OP above doesn't have a vote, and it's Shawn Eichorst's call as to whether he's going to fire Mike Riley, the only way for me to get evidence that we aren't going to fire Mike Riley in season one would be for me to go tap at his window and ask Shawn personally. (It was 4:00am when I typed that. Presumably he'd be in bed.)

Are we done with this? Or do you want to start some other pointless argument?

Its only pointless when you are proven wrong, you have a history. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can follow OUR line and see what you was being said. But PLEASE continue insulting me because your point was moronic at the least. ODD, that once AGAIN you, a MOD makes personal attacks about someone's ability to read! I bet you was that kid! PS.... Thanks for the link thread that wasn't even ours

=================================================================

Want some Mod advice on what to do here, if anything.

The situation:

This is from the Shawn Eichorst's public support of Mike Riley thread. LINK

I made a statement in post #3 ("we aren't going to fire Mike Riley in season one.")

Someone asked for evidence of this, and I made a jesting response in post #7. ("I'll head right over to Shawn Eichorst's house, tap on his bedroom window, and get a signed affidavit from him.")

Then RedRunRed chimes in, with the post string above. I tried to steer him back to the point (post #14). After his Rocket Science comment in post #26, I pointed out in no uncertain terms that I was not talking about our program being toxic (post #31). Granted, my response had a condescending tone ("Read much, do you?"). But RedRunRed's response, quoted above, seems to be out of line.

I'm inclined to respond within the thread with a warning. And not give him any points. (After all, my smarmy "read much, do you" response is what set him off.) But if he continues to spiral out of control I think a vacation is in order.

Suggestions?

Well, I tried to be reasonable and forgiving. This is the response I got:

RedRun, I was hoping to put this to bed by pointing out exactly, in no uncertain terms, what my jesting response in post #7 referred to. Twice I pointed it out. But you just won't drop it. I am not going to penalize you for what you've said so far in this thread. But I won't be so forgiving next time.

LOL. Why not post the real line, like I did.. and then you STILL reference it here...and are you also not "penalizing" yourself, since you was the first to make a personal attack? Do I need to walk you through that one as well? PS.. don't every try your hand as a litigator. you'd fail!

Was the three day suspension and point I handed out warranted for this?

 

[Mavric]

Looks like he got a warning for personal attacks from zoogs a few months ago. In the warning zoogs told him another one would result in a suspension. Thus, it would seem that the suspension was warranted. QED

You might be right. How would I do as a judge? (Three day suspension.)

A word of advice: When someone[SIZE=12pt]—[/SIZE]anyone on this board[SIZE=12pt]—[/SIZE]seeks to end a dispute with you by asking to drop it, you should learn to let it go instead of trying to escalate it.

Ha ha! Yeah, that pretty much pegs it. I'm not sure why he got so worked up over that minor thing. And then wouldn't let it go. Oh well.

 

[AR Husker Fan]

Definitely warranted.

I like the way you math

 

[NUance]

As soon as RunRedRun's three day suspension was over this is the PM he sent to me this morning, and my response below: (The quoted portion of his PM, the first two lines, are a quote of what I said to him in this thread: LINK)

"You might be right. How would I do as a judge? (Three day suspension.)

what's wrong NU, you don't like when people prove you wrong? so you get a napoleon complex and want to try and flex. obviously your little world doesn't revolve much outside of this board. you must be a VERY sad man!

I'm not sure what to make of you. It's almost like you are asking to be perma banned? Is that what you want?

 

[AR Husker Fan]

Wrong attitude and wrong response. I've banned the account and all IP addresses.

 

[zoogs]

And that's how you get banned at HB.
