Heard a rumor . . . .
- Thread starter Antwill
- Start date
Hey that is possible, don’t expect half these guys to believe or think that way. Oh heaven forbid, it’s a sin against Gods commandments. Some think Rileys gone already and Frost is already hired and recruiting his next years QB. Lmfao 
But I could see that. Riley has great connections and has some elite talent that has NOT even farted in our direction in years now looking at us and even taking visits to Lincoln....see 5 star Micah Parsons this weekend. Notice Green and Bounds found there way to Parsons and his family and Bookie and his mom this weekend. They see the talent Riley is bringing to us. We haven’t seen these likes....well since Callahan.

Would like to see some bigtime OL commit. WR are nice and Ill take players like Bookie and Parsons any day. But this team needs improved o line play and coaching immediately.
Rewatch Bound' s press conference and statement again and then please explain how that makes any rational sense.

And NU is currently a losing machine.....well, just like Clownahan.
I heard the same, but not because they want Riley to have more time, but because they didn't want to give Eichorst the chance to make the next hire.

Bingo, this no way they let Eichorst make another hire. The TCU AD never hired Patterson, who knows if he is any better.
Yeah, I heard that from a friend who gets pretty solid info. It makes sense and I don't really think it is anything all that mind blowing. In the end we all will do what is best for us so SE trying to save his own bacon is normal.
You didn't hear anything. You saw it on twitter and claimed the information as your own in an attempt to garner e cred. Same old @nebraskafaninwi
I don't see how firing Riley saves his job? If Bounds and Green wanted him gone, firing Riley isn't saving his job. If Bounds and Green didn't want him to make the next hire, they could have fired him in November before the next hire is made, even if Eichorst fired Riley in September. None of this makes any sense.
I think, this is just a guess, that if he cans Riley and say promotes Bob...and if Bob ends up doing a kick *** job then SE looks smart and maybe saves his own job.
Who knows.
After firing Bo I heard a rumor that Tressel was going to be our HC, Frost our OC and Muschamp our DC.
SE got fired because he kept making PR blunders and some of the boosters didn't like him. Friday night games, then no Friday night games. Black Friday then no Black Friday and on and on. Some were upset over canning Yori. He had several strikes against him and Hawks and Clare hadn't forgotten him canning Pelini and everybody knows Tom was still pissed about how HP did an end run in hiring SE while pushing Tom away (supposedly). Then you have the Oregon first half and the perfect opportunity to get rid of him. We won't know what it means for Riley until the end of the year, but if he doesn't get enough wins I can't imagine he'll be retained.
This isn't about Tom. Stop. The tin foil hats must be on sale around here.
Everything else in your post is correct. You also forgot that SE fired pelini a year too late.
This is huge. Led to a lame duck coach and two lost recruiting classes.
It also goes back to ADs not coming in and firing HCs as their first significant action.
No exception to the rule, even when a coach blasts fans and basically asks to be fired?
He botched it, plain and si ple. No unspoken rule changes that
You look at things too black and white. The world is gray man. Pelini blasted the fans in 2011 when Osborne was the AD and Osborne knew about it. That isn't on Eichorst. I agree he should have been fired in 2013 but Eichorst was hired to replace the Pope of Nebraska football. Then you want him to fire the coach that the Pope hired as his first major act as AD? Please, that would have been career suicide, he would have alienated as many of the boosters and power players as he had backing his hire. Remember that the Pope basically hired Solich too and he was fired too, averaging 9+ wins per. Those aren't good optics.

This thread is the dumbest thing on this board in a long time. And that says a lot.

Great recruiters do not necessarily mean great coaches. I'd rather see a team that over achieves then under achieves.
So Riley is bringing in great talent. What's he doing with it? How many fresh starts would you like to see him have. As predicted on Saturday, Riley supporters silent as a grave Saturday night after an awful football showing but come mid-week, they crawl out of their graves and out comes all the Riley support. Been going strong this way for 3 years, ever since the BYU loss. At least you all are consistent
I heard they released Tim Curley from prison so he could come interview for our open AD position.
I heard a rumor that the KY AD is being considered. CHeck his resume and you see a stint at Oregon State.
Stupid rumors. SMH.

Eichorst firing Riley would only show that Eichorst made the big mistake to begin with in hiring Riley. Doubt that is the case.
Bounds has the authority to tell Eichorst that we were NOT firing Riley because we want to give him more time...without FIRING Eichorst. I am not believing this rumor.

I think the part about Eichorst wanting to move on from MR to save his own skin is quite possibly true. It goes to exactly what I also think Eichorst would have done. I also think SE might have had plans to try sliding BD in as the HC. I also believe BD was hired by SE, not MR as many here maintained. Bo was probably mostly correct in his assessment of the AD.
Regardless, I think it is doubtful that Mike Riley will be here much longer.

I heard a rumor that if HCIWSF says no, we will offer him ADIWSF too.
No leadership...no surprise. The program has no identity.
I don't believe for a minute that Diaco was brought in by Eichorst to supplant Riley in a couple of years. That's ridiculous and I have a hard time believing that any player would think that.
Don't shoot the messenger. Its his theory, largely due to what Diaco has been involved with on both sides of the ball.
This. It's amazing the **** people will make up. (If it wasn't you OP, then the original source).
I'll add one other thing.
If anyone caught Damon Bennings thoughts on the "Marijuana culture" yesterday. I am at a loss for words. Mary Jane was rampant. And his take was a bit puzzling to me to put it mildly.
My brother worked for the Athletic Dept during the glory days and was friends with most of the roster. Many of those guys were toking up on the regular. He told me that "Peaches" ultimately couldn't function, unless he was high. It was implied that the marijuana culture from TO and Blow's tenure is part of the problem today. I think many people would be surprised as to how many players (DONU) and other places, do this on the regular. But after yesterday, I can't listen to that show and take DB seriously anymore.

I didnt make anything up. I'll just delete it and this is why I really don't like posting or sharing nuggets of info.
Diaco would be an almost impossible sell as a head coach. His team was horrible, he is goofy to put it kindly, and he is horrible with public relations. Quirky coordinators are fine. They don't tend to make good head coaches particularly in football. (Even the Pirate has plenty of detractors.)
