This is a result of bo recruiting horridly

You're right. Has nothing to do with ****** coaching. Purdue has out recruited Nebraska.
And sh#tty coaching. Players win games, coaches lose games.
Get a grip already. Do you realize we returned 15 starters from last year steam?
Yet his recruiting classes have outranked Oregon State's every year, and is by average rated the highest in the Big 10 West. By far.
Just stop blaming recruiting and realize what's in front of you: This staff is incompetent.
They've taken a team that won 9 games and will be lucky to win another game the rest of the season.
It was a big part, but with great players I'm not sure this coaching staff would have a winning record. Again, they had a losing record with their players last year at Oregon State.
******** excuses for a coaching staff that should have NEVER been hired at Nebraska...
While this is true to a degree. Riley and his staff do get paid to WIN football games PERIOD. Unless him & his staff are giving back their salaries for having to coach "Bo's players", he is ultimately responsible for the product on the field. And the product on the field is.....well..just look for yourself.
Somehow Bo managed to win 9-10 games, even with his "horrid recruiting."
Riley has arguably the most talent he's ever had as a hc in cfb, and look at the results.
Dude's not going to win 4 f'n games this year.
Par for the course with him.

Don't worry. Enough of the team has gotten the message. They're doing the best they can to get him fired. Between the Bo people and the Frost people I'm sure they will get an acceptable coach.
You cant blame recruiting for a loss to this Purdue team, that excuse is dried up.
What pass happy crowd?
Nope. Not buying that horsesh*t any longer. Bo certainly put us in a bad spot, but what I'm witnessing today is a coaching staff that has completely lost a team. I'm done supporting them. The entire staff and AD need to clean out their desks.
As for the dicks that will no doubt respond with "good, don't let the door hit you in the ***," I have just one thing to say...GFY!
Exactly. For as terrible a recruiter he was, he still managed to win 9 a year. There's no doubt in my mind we'd have a better record this year if he were still here.
The simple truth is that our AD went out and hired a coach who's a notch or two below Pelini. There were better options out there.
You have a disability of some sort.
I'm going to have to go with a mental disability.
You sure have a high opinion of yourself.
What are you going to say when Riley finishes with a worse recruiting class than Pelini ever pulled in? Because that's going to happen. Recruits don't want to play for incompetent coaches.
If getting blown out by Purdue isn't proof enough of team apathy i can't help you. Hopefully we can come back and get the W. 12:59 left to get it done.
RR serious question...if this staff has in fact lost the locker room. Do you think this staff will be able to win them over? You can't cut everyone.
Ok. I really don't understand the "no talent" argument. Almost every analyst, especially BIG10 analysts, in the beginning of the season said Nebraska has one of the most talented teams in the BIG10. Now all of sudden when everything is going to ****, it is a talent issue? Really? I understand injuries have hurt. WE HAVE TALENT. We have enough talent to beat a 1-6 Purdue to, enough talent to beat a average BYU team, enough talent to beat a below average Illinois team, enough talent to close out a game against an average Wisc team. There is a bigger issue than talent on this teams. I believe it can only come down to one of 2 things.
1. The majority of these players were checked out mentally before the season even started. Holding on to the past a bit to much. As a result never getting 100% mentally into this coaching staff or this system.
2. It is coaching. An below average coach throughout his career is still below average.
I honestly don't know, it could be a combination of the 2. It isn't talent.
They haven't to this minute so i have to say No. The way i see it anyone who's a sophomore and under might be ok. Anyone who's a redshirt sophomore and above needs to be evaluated if the should stay. Even if they're coachable do they make the most unbelievable mistakes at critical moments. I don't know how to say it... are they so mentally tainted by the old staff do they just need to go??? I say yes at this point.
Bo's recruiting is why Bo was never going to get over the nine-win hump. It was good enough for nine wins, but no more. Certainly not going to win championships.
Riley took the nine-win talent and made it a three-win team. Clearly the coaching is not what it needs to be. You expect the players to struggle a bit adjusting to new coaches, schemes, and styles, but not to this degree. You have to be sucky to the core to do what Riley's staff has done this season.

Right!!!!!! At least you can't claim that Armstrong threw this game like the other losses.
I am really starting to think this is the problem. They all look mentally checked out. Its hard to coach a group of players that don't want to be there. We will only know for sure in a few year (unfortunately)
Would Bo have won more games this year? Yes. The point is, he was never going to lead us to a Championship. He couldn't stop the run and in the Big Ten, that won't fly.
We switched coaches and complete systems on offense and defense. Did we expect no growing pains with the new systems?
As to talent, did you guys see the post that pointed out that we have more walk-ons on our Two Deep Depth Charts than anybody in the nation? It makes me wonder if people watch any other college football to see the disparity in team speed that others have and we don't.
No talent, numerous key injuries, new coach, new system = Rebuilding Year
Get behind the team and the coaches.

We only have three more games to prove ever lasting loyalty to Mark. I said we wouldn't win another game after what i saw against Wisconsin. I'm still wondering what happened for the Minnesota game???
I'd be willing to bet that we've had the most walk-ons in the nation every year. Even in the Callahan and Pelini years I remembered a ton of them playing.
