Mike is a real good person. And hes highly respected for it. But at the end of the day coaches are judged by their W/L record. Like Bill Parcells said you are what your record says you are. That doesn't mean MR hasnt done good things for NU. I believe hes repaired a lot of damage. But the part that matters the most isnt going well. Who knows whats gonna happen. I just miss good football.
I believe coach Leech said Nebraska already has a pretty good coach when asked about the Nebraska job just a couple weeks ago.
Yep, coachDubs praises Riley’s coaching ability everyday. Maybe it’s due to the fact coachDubs would have to change his screen name if there was a new coaching staff.
I just like to know when people say Riley's a good football coach, what are they basing that off of?
Not a fan of the movie, sorry.

So you're saying it's a fact that someone tweeted their opinion on Riley? No sh**? I could use your posts as "facts" that some jackhole posted his/her opinion, too.
You use semantics to your detriment. You've done nothing in this thread (or any others for that matter), other than post your opinion, and use tweets with no statistics (no wonder you have a Cheetod*** sig pic) to support your cause.
Post some statistics to support your argument. If you can prove Riley is a good coach with his actual results from seasons of yore, you can say "I won."
JFC you're either retarded or retarded.
Here's the thread, right here..
Yes, just like I said in my initial response, backed up with DOCUMENTABLE EVIDENCE, just like the trolling OP asked.
Go ahead and link it, all posts are archived.
Oh, I will, for certain. Captain DUI won't get the honor anymore.
You do realize this was my initial reply to you:
You then deviated into arguing with me about someone else's stance. You are a dense, dim-witted fellow.
Zero to do with OP or my reply to him. Just like I initially replied to you.
Ignore time, troll along.

Just listened to the Husker doc talk pc. Rob Z made some really good points about the differences between the way things used to be done in practice vs how they are done now. Its worth a listen. I already wanted change after hearing that I feel even stronger about it. He said the scout team players were basically full contact with the 1st teamers and it created equal reps throughout the depth chart. He then said he believes there are so many injuries because they do very little contact in practice and guys aren't conditioned for it in games. They covered quite a bit.
Bill Callahan was supposedly a genius X and O’s guy too - but if you can’t hire a successful team of coaches around you, what does that really get you?
Don't worry @coachDubs, I got your back.
Oregon St. overall record from '83-'97 34-117-4(21.94%), there in conference record 17-88-4(15.60%). That is the 14 years prior to Mike Riley being hired. In Mike's 14 years their overall record was 93-80(53.76%), and there in conference record 58-63(47.93%). The overall record under Mike was roughly a 32% improvement and there in conference record was also a 32% improvement over the previous 14 seasons. In the 14 years prior to Mike's arrival, you can see that OSU only won 34 games, Mike eclipsed that in his 6th season at OSU with 38 wins. In the 14 years prior to Mike, they only won 17 conference games, Mike eclipsed that in his 6th season with 20 wins. Now I only looked up the 14 years prior to Mike's 14 years as a comparison. You could always go look at their history going back to the beginning, you would see that for the most part they have been a doormat for almost the entirety of there existence.
This is why some have lauded him as a great coach, and there have been those that have lauded him.

Fair. One thing I’ll say is this: it’s a lot easier to improve a team when their prior winning % was 29%. Think of it as a bell-curve. So he took a team with a 29% winning record to 54%? Great. I mean, he was 5-7 the year we hired him. In his 11th consecutive season at OSU.
Now, improving a team that won 9/10 games the previous 7 seasons? Different story there. Seems like Riley is right on track to continue the 54% winning rate. And I can’t believe some are lauding that.
You had me until "great X's and O's" haha. additionally how many assistant coaches has he had in 25+ years of being a HC? There is only one constant in his mediocre career-- point the thumb
Yea, I hear other HC's saying ALL the time that other HC's stink......... NEVER
Did you watch the round table discussion they had with guest analyst coaches including Mike Riley? It was pretty obvious who the "guy" was in that room and it was Mike Riley. I'm not saying that translates necessarily to game day results. It obviously hasn't for us in many games. Similarly it didn't for Bill Callahan. Is that his assistants, his talent, his hands off approach to being a head or most likely a combination of the above? He has tremendous football knowledge and his reputation is that of a great teacher. That is one reason he has put so many guys in the NFL with a limited talent pool when he was at OSU. I know one thing and that is that IF I had a son who wanted to play on Sundays, Mike Riley is a guy I would want him to play for. It's game day. GBR!
