If you want to talk 408, this is all you need to know.He won his division half the time. How much difference is there between winning a 6 or 7 team division and winning the old Big 8?I don't care what Mike Riley did 30 years ago. I care about what he does at Nebraska now.In that light, what do you think of Mike Riley? Do you put a lot of stock in that grey cup when he went 9-9 in an 8 team league 30 years ago?I care about what he did here. And that's not win championships. 9 wins means nothing.Every college or pro team that ever had Bo on staff won at least 9 games.You didn't fix anything. We were discussing Pelini. Not RileyFIFYAgain correct, but those 5-7 or worse seasons put you further away from championships and drop is farther into obscurity.And you are correct as well. but we are no further ahead either way.While you are correct, his two hires were head and shoulders above the 2 he didn't hire.Why does everyone gloss over Tom Osborne as AD? It's not like he went out and did a thorough search of the best possible coach we could get.
7 straight 9/10-4 seasons nets you just as many conference and national championships as 5-7 or worse seasons.
I think that TO realizes that those 9 and 10 win seasons aren't as easy to come by as some fans think they are.
There was nothing thatPeliniiRiley did prior to being hired that would suggest he would be any better at getting to 9 or more wins.
Urban Meyer had seasons of 9-3, 9-4, and 8-5 at Florida. No one gives a sh#t. You know why? Because he won championships.
The original statement was "there was nothing that Pelini did prior to being hired that would suggest he would be any better at getting to 9 or more wins."
My reply showed there was plenty of evidence to show Pelini should be capable of winning at least 9 games per year.
Pelini being a LB coach for the Packers is not evidence that he can win as a HC. And again. he won nothing of substance while here so who cares?
It's obvious that you don't like to hear anything about Pelini, so I suggest you stop talking about him. I will correct any fallacies I see posted.
Fair enough, because the post above pretty much ends the conversation anyway.I don't want to talk about Pelini and I won't if others don't bring him up first.
How many have never win less than 9 games, while also never winning anything of substance?How many head coaches in college football history have never won less than 9 games in a season?
Answer: 2. Tom Osborne and Bo Pelini
Keep 'em coming, Radar!
He's no longer our coach.You want to talk about what Pelini did at Nebraska, we can talk about it.
I remember when this was the narrative. Those who were skeptical of the hire were told this. Now, we see that much of what this staff did at OSU they are doing here.You want to talk about Riley at Nebraska, we can talk about it.
Nothing else matters in my opinion. It's all in the past.
That's what I call a sobering fact. Wow...they fu**ed up big-time by firing Bo...it just cannot be denied when you consider all aspects, including monetary.How many head coaches in college football history have never won less than 9 games in a season?

With better athletes.
And getting similar results.
His past is absolutely relevant. Our former staff no longer is.
Touch'.You don't get to tell me what is relevant and what isn't.
I decide how I observe each new coaching staff and each season.
So defensive. That happens when proven wrong sometimes.Go try talking sh#t to someone else.

Twice tied for 1st in an 8 team conference? How does that differ from 3 outright division titles? Sounds pretty similar to me.He shared 2 Big 8 conference championships.
