The Mike Riley Presser

[alexhortdog95]

He knows Frank Solich personally from the AFCA board. +1.

He knows Callahan, follows his football. -1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Reaching out to former coaches - will do this. Sat next to Frank Solich on some board they were both on. He knows Bill Callahan as well.

 

[QMany]

Always has had full-time Special Teams Coach.

 

[HuskerMerc44]

For a guy who is so well respected around coaching and media circles, he knows NOBODY on the staff?

That struck me as odd, too. You'd think he'd have a pretty full Rolodex by now.

Yeah...I think he has been pretty isolated...but it still something that kind of bugs me a bit...

1. Really well respected but might not know a lot of guys

2. Might be bringing most/all of his old staff

3. Offense is a hodgepodge/multiple

Not the end of the world but just things that kind of made me go "hmmmm"

He's been here a single day folks. Give him some time....he's got plenty of it.

Thats just it...he doesn't have plenty of time. He is starting recruiting today, he said...time is up.

So he met with the interim head coach....and you think he should meet with the others before he gets started trying to salvage the recruiting class?

Do you really want us to lose all our recruits?

I can just see Barney trying to sweet talk his way into keeping a staff spot. I want to have faith Riley sees through that. I think he can save most of the class. Would love to keep Bussey at the least.

Cotton has already been lobbying to stay

Then he can stay in the lobby.

Not uncommon for pro coaches.

Hitting recruiting real hard, right now. Gotta get going right now, as much as he can in the next week.

No...I want him to already know who he wants on his staff and I suppose he might but he is just not saying. But trying to recruit and re-recruit kids when you can't tell them who their OC/DC and position coach will be has got to be very difficult.

I guess what I am saying is that from the fact that he has been at OSU for so long he might not have lots of "connections" and in doing so its hard for him to just text other coaches and offer them a spot...which either drags things out or means he is bringing most of his staff.

 

[knapplc]

Regarding walk-ons. Thinks it's neat, good tradition at Nebraska. All for the walk-on program.

 

[RunMickeyRun02]

He's like Tim Miles even nerdier father.

Not saying that's bad or good. Just my take.

 

[GSG]

WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT HIS POCKET IS FULL OF WERTHER'S ORIGINALS?

 

[Bigred_inSD]

De'morney Pierson-El going to run rampant next year.

Hopefully brings in coach O; Warren

Hopefully tells cotton to leave
