I think Kill is a great coach. However I also think Riley is a pretty good coach. There are plenty of Husker fans on this board however, have said that career winning pct defines all. A situation that is not kind to Riley or Kill.
How is it not kind to Kill? He has won 2/3 of his career games in over 20 years as an HC at a bunch of historically awful football programs? He has dozens of league championships and playoff appearances along the way.
On what planet is that construed as anything other than rousing success? That's not even close to mediocre loser Riley's lack of accomplishments.
According to this link, at major schools Kill is .536 and 0-5 in bowls.
According to wikipedia, during his time at small schools, Kill had 3 conference titles.
I'd say if one was comparing "major college resumes and higher", Kill and Riley are pretty well even. If one is willing to trade a couple Grey Cups for small school conference titles (but even this would be pulling from Kill's time in the minors).
Are you saying Tim Miles is not a good coach then? He's .500 at Nebraska so far.
I think the best measure of a coach is comparing how he left programs, compared to how they were when he took over. Kill (like Miles) always left programs in much better shape then when he took them over. Riley left Oregon State in pretty bad shape, with 3 losing seasons in the last 5 years and losing 14 of his last 16 conference games.
He is a very good Coach.. Need to look at his carter record not just your agenda....
Typical of you.
I'm not sure that's a real good comparison. I think the jury is still out as to whether Miles is a good coach. He's had a few good seasons, but hasn't had consistent success anywhere.
True but up to NOW Miles has left every program in better shape then when he left.
Same way with Jerry Kill.... Would have loved to have him at Nebraska. He plays our style of hard nosed football.
I get such a kick out of the "Grey Cup" argument. It's freaking hilarious. If any other fanbase on the planet actually used that to defend their coach, you clowns would be merciless in your mocking.
BTW, I looked that up on Wikipedia, and Riley's team was a whopping 9-9 one of those years. A spectacular season, no doubt. Maybe we can create a Brown Cup trophy or something and give it you guys each time you actually qualify for a bowl game under Mediocre Mike.
Clowns? Since all you seem to be able to post is slams on our staff and posters/fans your time will be much better suited on your own board.
Jerry Kill has built up five different programs, at every stop in his career, from a bad program to really good.
Mike Riley was at one program for a long time and undulated between ok and pretty good. He did have success in the CFL, and a decided lack of success in the NFL.
I don't think their records are remotely comparable.

You would consider Minnesota a really good program? What's the difference between really good and pretty good?
