Rileys magic number

[Ewooc]

As I posted earlier Neb is predicted to go 5-4 in Big 10. What number do you think Riley needs to hit to be safe here? You think a 5-4 conference record is safe? Or does he need to do better.

I think 5-4 will keep him here. While I would like to see better. He needs a couple more years to see how all his recruits pan out. If after 2 more years he still hasn't done better than 4 or 5 losses, time to move on.

What do you mean by "safe"? If you mean not fired-there is no way a 5-4 conference record would get him fired nor should it. Barring a major regression from last year, his job is safe at least for another year.

4-8.

Because Tommie is the worst quarterback in college football... All levels.

Riley is doomed and should be brought back because Tommie is like the Tai Webster of football.

7+ total wins is the minimum to have no heat.

Closing strong in recruiting and not blowing close games in crazy ways will help too

IMO he should get at least another 2 years on top of this one. Just remains to be seen how everything plays out with Williams and recruiting.

I think that is correct. If they go worse than last year...I think it is safe to say he is going to "retire" and probably come up with a sweet excuse like his wife misses the Northwest. All parties will part ways in a very well mannered way.

I honestly don't think we need to worry about a low ball number.

4 conference losses would disappoint me. OSU is the only team that should be flat-out favored to beat NU soundly. You could certainly make the case for a few being coin flip games, but **IF HEALTHY** they should not be losing 4 conference games.

Are you serious? We are in year two of a major rebuilding effort. The large majority of the players on the team are still from that last guy. Unless he goes 3-9, he is safe for at least a few more years......as he should be.

4 or 5 is the magic number, That is in years. Coach Riley or any coach needs that much time to establish there program. I am very optimistic about the team this year. I am hoping for a BIG West title.

fivr losses is never acceptable. Period
