I'm with Archie. I don't understand how this helps us. Why not let the season play out? What if the football team turns this around and we have a successful season? This seems reactionary and impulsive, which is how the country already views our approach to football coaches
It's probably going to take a while to find a new AD. If you keep Eichorst until December and Riley goes 4-8, then what?
I might add that I think the lack of understanding the fans' reaction to the removal of the Friday after Thanksgiving game may have also played a small part in this. Of course, if the team is 3-0, that is not enough, but coupled with the start and the overall lack of performance in most NU athletics, it couldn't have helped.
you think its loud now just wait till Riley blows it against Rutgers and certain people will blame it on Ronnie Green. Please. This had to be done. Early signing period get a great AD and get a great HC. I dont care about recruiting. Getting the right hire as AD and Head Coach is the most important thing right now. Recruiting has to take a back seat for one year. To be honest we only have what 10 recruits.
I'd be shocked if they don't have a lead candidate already (if not THE next candidate) in place. I think the program will double-down on Nebraska "roots" guys and Trev Alberts seems to fit that bill.
LOL! They are already saying "Have you seen Riley's record at NU in 3 years? He's 60+ years old. How long do you think he's going to be there? He'll retire or be fired before you get through there. At which point they'll bring in another coach which you may not fit."
Nor do I. I don't get the celebration about it either. People got the scalp they wanted. That's all it is-just the bloodlust from some people for somebody to "get". That won't help the team play better.
Jesus people. You think we can fire Mike Riley after 2.5 years and we will be in on anyone but Scott Frost (...maybe)?

Excellent news for the program. Clean house and get the check book out. And for the love of the Fumblerooskie - do it right this time! Hire LEADERS who are proven to make a postivie impact and let them do what they do.
Keep telling yourself that, if you makes you feel better. No, it looks like the dumpster fire has been tamed and that it is well on its way to being putting out.
A competent leadership has a play for that senario as of this moment. It's not like we have to wait until December to lay the foundation of the changes.
You're a scared little kitten aren't you?
Penn St had a rape scandal and overcame it quickly. You got to grow some balls and make the necessary changes to get the right people in place.
I agree. I am sure we will get the here to evaluate, etc. I support our coaches and players, Coach Riley has a great reputation.
I'd say the odds are much greater that the team won't turn things around. Then you have to wait until January to hire an AD, which means firing the coach right before Signing Day, or keeping him around for one more lame-duck year. Either way the timing will not be ideal.
Another scared little kitten. You don't think recruits will be excited to play for a better coach than a career .500 guy? Grow some balls
It is the start of the team getting better. If you don't get that you are an energy vampire or you are not on the positive bus or you are not on the power slide or you are not part of the happy gang.
Oh. Just grow some balls. That will fix things.
Delusional Nebraska fans are delusional.
Riley better be worried because SE getting fired at this point in the season has everything to do with the football team's horrible start.
Football leads the athletic department. Riley coaches for his job every day, but now with sweat dripping constantly...

And? To this day a coach should not be retained for beating Iowa. Pretty simple. Not very hard to understand.
I don't think that is correct. Football is a piece of a larger puzzle. I'd imagine this decision has been brewing for weeks, i.e., it was likely in motion before the last couple weeks.
Thank God we don't have to sit through any more of his awkward pressers anymore. The guy was as uncomfortable as a triple ka-nit polyester suit.
I like your thinking...only if Winstrom and Peters aren't available as co-head coaches.
