so how many years did Schnellenberger and Blake each get?

Blake in his 3 years recruited very well and left Stoops with a lot to work with.

Peelini didn't leave Riley with that good of talent.

Stoops had an easy job compared to Riley. Nebraska is like Hawaii now in terms of talent. No easy fix people since it will take 2-3 good recruiting classes to fix this mess from Bo. All the fire Riley bitching will not do any good for recruiting. We need to be supportive since many recruits read these boards.

So our talent level is lower than Illinois and Northwestern? I hated Bo since aTm game and understand he sucked at recruiting too but c'mon our talent isn't worse than crappy B10 west teams.

I would say Fitz out coached Riley and his staff of course it's not the first he has out coached any of our teams.

Until OU finally got it right?

Wrong team. Need to look at Alabama. We're in the time between Bryant and Saban (83-07). (I know that Stallings got 1 NC, but that is like Solich getting us to the NC game.) Hopefully we find our Saban and we don't go the way of Minnesota.

I don't think Fitz had a thing to do with all our WR drops and Tommy's (still) inconsistent play. We gave them that game today & in my opinion, Riley didn't lose it. We have a top 40 QB playing like it, and our receiving corp had their worst collective game I can remember, Fitz had little to do with those issues, which cost us the game IMO.

Blake was 12-22 at OU and no one thought they had the players to compete at that time. It took stoops and co to come in and shore up the show. Stoops has fallen off because he put together a great coaching staff at the start and it slowly diminished over time.

I don't want MR, we can't go through 3 years of this. Any decent coach with our talent would be 8 and 0.
