Never said I didn't like it. It's just not true. Bielma's agent used our coaching search to get more money and reaffirm his commitment to the razorbacks.

SE reached out to Bret's group. That is a 100% fact. Bret recommended Paul Chryst and Paul said he wants the Wisconsin job (when it would open up). SE has wanted to hire Coach Riley for years already and he got his chance to hire him and got him to sign a contract to coach at Nebraska.
How did Chryst know that the Wisconsin job was available because Anderson was still Coaching the Badgers when Nebraska hired Riley?
Are you saying that Gil Brandt is "mistaken"? Sure sounds like Bielema's agent was contacted first. Now whether or not BB used that contact to improve his own situation when he had no intention of taking the job-well that shows what kind of a guy he is. but it doesn't mean the story is false.

He didn't. He was going to stay at Pitt until the Wisconsin job opended and would accept that job in a blink of the eye if he got offered. His resume application (letter) only contained one sentence..lol.
Bo pelini was fired nov 30th. SE contacted MR on dec 1st to gauge his interest, after he found out his interest level he flew out on dec 3rd to meet MR. Please save your ********.
What I posted is 100% fact. I bet you would say the Utah coach was all BS too because it doesn't fit whatever dumb agenda you want to have.
The only other name I heard prior Riley that had traction was Whittingham at Utah. It sounds like Beliema and him turned it down. Riley then ended up having a poor meeting with the OSU AD and next thing you know he is our coach. I am guessing Chryst got the two parties in touch(Eichorst-Riley) since he is good friends with each other, but that part is just a guess.

Post your source and your proof. 100÷ fact is really.. 100÷ ********
Nobody from the Husker AD contacted him or his reps. It's 100% false.
I have an agenda? Coming from the guy that created this account today to spread this crap.
Yes, he talked to Whittingham. Could have gotten him. The Chancellor only met with Coach Riley. SE said he found his coach and told the Chacnellor to met with Coach Riley and if the Chancellor agreed, they would offer him the job. Well, he obviously got the offer.
Always funny how Coach Riley had a meeting with the AD at Oregon State and then suddenly becomes the head coach at Nebraska.
I really couldnt see Whittingham leaving myself. I figured he moved on because he said no. Whittingham>Riley, pretty simple to see that.
