and he shouldn't be...period. IMHO he should start sitting players who don't give maximum effort, rotating players to see what he has for future years and recruit like there is no tomorrow.
I'll give MR this year to "cut the cancer "out of the team/locker room, but there will be no hall pass if things aren't drastically better in 2016.
I really don't know if MR is going to do anything here. One thing I think that is becoming apparently clear is there are players on this team that don't give a ****. Players that were pissed, and still are pissed that Bo is gone. Players that are half assing it. Players who are showing little pride for the team, program, most importantly themselves. All because their cult leader was fired.
Unfortunately it is hard to know which players these guys are. Only MR and the coaching staff know for sure. They are the ones in the locker room and at practice day in and day out. It is their jobs as coaches to determine these players and deal with it. If you have guys not giving 100% or not wanting to be apart of this team, they need to be kicked off the team. If that mean we have to play 2nd and 3rd string guys to field a team. SO BE IT! We don't need them and don't want them.
Do you know why the teams of the 90s were so good? They all gave 110%, every single play. They played with pride they played as a team. Do you think we had the most talented players, nope. Many were nebraska walk on guys. This team now lacks so much of that pride it isn't even funny. Full result of participation trophy generation at work at Nebraska. They have been use to getting whatever they want, without ever having to work for it, having to earn it.
If Riley can't fix these players as a coach then he need to be replaced too. This has been going on to long at Nebraska. It is time to go back to our roots!
