The Sock Puppet Rides!

So how does anyone know what the outcome will be before he is even introduced? What was the reaction to Gary Anderson at Wisky?? Seems to have turned out well for them. Also, who says he's not bringing in Scott as OC and Assoc HC?? Just chill people and be fans of Nebraska. I have to admit, I didn't know what to think when Tim Miles was hired, but now that guy would be up for Blue Blood CBB jobs if they come open. RELAX!

 
Well, I'm not too sure how successful this guy is going to be at nebraska. I would say we have better talent and history than Oregon State, and probably better facilities, so recruiting is easier here. Also, consider that Oregon State hadn't had a .500 or greater season in the 15 years before Mike Riley took over the program. That's like taking over Purdue and going 8-4 in year one.

Riley is, apparently, one of the most well respected coaches in college football today. So there is that. Won't have any sideline rage attacks and probably few meltdowns.

However, he hasn't had a winning record almost anywhere he's coached, so I'm not 100% sure he's going to take us all the way... but I will give him a chance. I think 3 years should do...

So let's do 97r best to support this guy until it's clear he's running us into the ground!!!

Anderson & Miles both had a history of winning at a "lower level", turned programs around, and were viewed as coaches on the rise. Riley, while respected, does not fit any of these categories. Bad hire given the need for an "upgrade"...

 
I may be mistaken, but doesn't Riley run a pro style? If so, I wonder if he will try to implement that and if we have the players for it?
