The Tangent/Derailment Thread: 2015

I do not understand why some posters here refuse to acknowledge that this coaching staff is waaaayyyyyy over their heads and have no idea how to right this ship. A good coach would be able to fix the main issues that have plagued us for years now. We are one of the most penalized teams in FBS AND FCS. The penalties have killed drives and cost us points and games. Riley knew that coming in yet nothing has been done about it. For those who think that a coach needs time to fix issues in a team, I say look at MICHIGAN and what they were able to do this season. Harbaugh inherited a team that had no identity and was able to get them believing in themselves. Our players have no swagger and a lot of them have issues off the field. That is a clear sign that the players have absolutely no respect for Mike Riley and his staff. This would never happen under Tom Osborne. The players respected him and played their hearts out. Our current players are good politicians. They know what to say to give us hope yet they make the same old stupid mistakes game after game. They are not developing and these coaches are not a good fit. Riley is a nice guy and I have nothing against him but he is not the right coach to bring Husker football back. He is here to supplement his retirement and is doing just that thanks to the incompetence of the two snakes Eichorst and Pearlman.
I think that's just about every cliché trending right now.Oh. You forgot to mention he only hires his buddies, and it will be his downfall.
And that Mike Riley is old and probably can't pee standing up
You'd have to ask Damon Benning. He bumped into Riley in the bathroom with his police escort prior to the game last week.
 
GBR that is what I am worried about...say he finishes 4-8 this year...next year he goes 6-6...are we all of a sudden supposed be thrilled?
Upward trend!

But 4-8 would definitely qualify as historically bad. It would be the worst season since 1958. 57 years.

Out of 126 Husker football seasons all time, 4-8 would rank as #116 by winning percentage.

8 losses would be the 2nd most losses ever recorded by a Husker team in 126 years.

If he happens to lose out and go 3-9? That would tie for the most losses EVER recorded by a Husker football team.
Don't lie. You are hoping that happens, correct?

 
Bo-lievers, Bo-leavers, Riley haters/lovers....

STOP FIGHTING!

If bears and wolves can find a way to play together, why can't we?

Nebraska's 9 wins was not a strong 9 wins. I think many of us thought the wheels on Bo's wagon would fall off during his time here, but he was saved in '13 and '14 by some heroics. Some of it luck, some of it made (AA and RG were big pieces to the puzzle last year and neither has been replaced).

I think this *was* a rebuilding job, we just thought/hoped it wasn't. But some of it is also regression brought on by the staff themselves.
Honestly, this post sounds like someone who was hoping for Pelini's failure in '13 or '14.

At least we currently have Riley's 3 strong wins.

 
I heard that if you gnash your teeth hard enough at the folks who thought Bo deserved to be fired, it will avenge his honor and bring a smile to his face. Goodness knows nothing is more important to Husker fans than Bo Pelini's wrongfully disgraced honor.

It's all I care about, really, now that Mike Riley has taken everything else from me.

Dude could play here this weekend if he was eligible.
I'm so sick of these god damn blanket statements...
Wtf are you talking about? How is that even close to a blanket statement?. Better go google.
How about that everyone in every recruit thread has now said that any current target would start today for Nebraska.... How is that not a blanket statement or something along those lines...

Look around the other recruit threads. It has been stated so many times that I want to puke. Maybe you should do the research.

 
The only research I need to do is watch the 9 games Nebraska has played this year. Our corners have struggled something fierce.

Now, take your uppity attitude you have had the last week or so and stick it.
