You have no idea what the hell you're talking about. You came into today with the presumption that he was soft because he doesn't lose his damn mind whenever anything goes wrong and now you're trying to back up your own narrative. Do tell. Was it coming back from being down 24-14 that made him soft? Was it allowing all of 3 points to a very good offense in the second half (before the fluke play) that made him soft? Is it that he doesn't scream and curse?

Dumb post. The dude was under control and made adjustments. Two things that never happened in the previous regime. Give him 3 years to find HIS players and a throwing quaterback and we will be in contention for a Big 10 title. Until then, you will continue to see wrinkles and it's not entirely his fault.

We haven't won a HUGE game since 2001 against OU. That there will tell you that we have to step up in the recruiting department and get players that will fit his system.

You obviously were not in Indy in December 2012.

Obviously either his memory sucks or he doesn't know much about football or doesn't watch a lot of Husker games or is just a plain dipshit. Based on his posting history, people can come to their own conclusions...

He should have been in our Kicker's face after that first miss

Anyone else picturing Pelini slobbering, cursing and waving his arms just inches from the kicker's face? Laughing Yeah, that's how you coach them up. :rolleyes:

I thought the coaching was pretty good.. I didn't see a lot to criticize there.. adjustments were made, the right calls were made, clock management was good, taking the time outs at the right time, good play calling for the most part, I guess to me I don't see where there is much to complain about. I'd be more inclined to say the coaching staff did a good job and certainly is way more professional than the old staff. I don't get where the OP is coming from.

Soft? Do you remember last years defense??? The one that let anybody that could run the ball go ham on them. They are trying to fix that defense (and trying to fix it without any LBs).

Can we just give this guy some time?

I watched that game live and a few times postmortem. This BYU didn't have 2 future NFL RBs like that badger team did. I'd be shocked if BYU a has a single NFL player on its squad.
Dude made some patty cake football decisions this afternoon. NFM



Mike Riley at the press conference talked like a classic loser. Unfortunately it's only going to get worse and write and worse. Frankly I don't know how many nor horrific coaching moves Nebraska can take!!

At this point what is our best option? Frost ?

If Frost is Nebraska`s best option at this time in his career then the Huskers are in real trouble.

You're right. I forgot how amazing Treyvon Green, Johnathan Franklin, JJ James, Jeremy Langford, and Fitzgerald Toussaint have been in the NFL.

As for BYU, #90 Bronson Kaufusi (their DE) and WR's Nick Kurtz and Mitch Matthews will play in the NFL.

Is it possible to be critical of this staff without also wanting Pelini back? The negative posters could very well like Pelini more, but it seems like every critical post is answered with something about "where the hell were you the past five years with Bo" etc.
For the record, I don't think Mike is "soft"; that's false. I just think the Pelini comparisons need to end and we need to judge Mike on him alone.

I don't think I'd call him soft, but I am concerned that he has a history of throwing the ball more than running the ball. I'm not sure that style will get us back to prominence.

Let's not make pronouncements like Riley is soft. It's one game. Wait until at least game ten or eleven.

In the same vein what is all the Pelini nonsense here? Is Bo really the measuring stick? Does anyone think Riley looks better when we say Bo was worse?
