OT: Nebraska Media/Fans Turning on Riley/Eichorst
- Thread starter IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life
- Start date
I glanced at their board this afternoon and it is truly is amazing that some of their fans are saying how Nebraska is one of the top five coaching jobs in the nation and there are several coaches would jump at the chance to go there. LOL....it is pure entertainment.
Funny thing is, during the Pelini years Eichorst says it was his policy not to comment on football during the season. Well we saw what happened almost immediately after losing to Northern Illinois.
Nebraska fans think they have the best everything...
-Fans
-Stadium
-Facility
-Tradition
You try to tell them otherwise, it's not like that anymore, etc... They immediately run you and your program into the ground and remind you about their five national titles.

I always thought Alberts was pretty sharp. I may be wrong...but he's nowhere NEAR as big a d-bag as pelini. That's certain.
Nebraska is a terrible job, and they won't get good coaches to come there. They think they are a top tier destination, the reality is that they are the smallest state and media market in the big 10; the fan base expects 10 wins a year. They are slowly becoming minnesota- used to be someone, and can't compete anymore.
I agree. The entire fan base will need to 'break" and understand that their current station in college football is not what it was many years ago. Not a blue blood.
They are recruiting kids who weren't even alive the last time they won a conference championship.
Ready this: Nebraska Athletic Department staff confirms that Eichorst is feeling the heat.

Nebraska WAS a top 10 job.... 20 years ago. Now...not so much.
Lots of other teams have great facilities now. Nebraska's is nothing special. Nobody cares about how many games you won 20 years ago...and outside of football, the University of Nebraska offers nothing unique...their academic profile is "meh". The "big" 12 has never been known for it's academic prestige.
And Lincoln... been to a lot of college towns... not impressed. A new reality is coming to Husker land...and it's not pretty.

Read on the Big Red threads that Solich's hire was the start of their decline.
I tend to agree with you SoDak, but thought you might find that comment as interesting as I found it.
Check his criminal record. Found drunk in his car. He's been known to be a drunk.
Definitely not a black shirt.Are you really a blackbird, or is that just a black shirt?
Speaking of black shirts, although I like Gary Dolphin, I wish he would refrain from saying the opposing ball carrier ran into "a black shirt" and was taken down. I know what he means when he says this, but still....
Definitely not a black shirt.
I don't listen to his play by play, but I'll chew his ass next time I see him.
What about ISU? Is it 4 or 5 generations since their last conference championship? So would it be my great, great, great, great grandpa would of read ISU won the whatever conference championship in the daily news paper 100 plus years ago.
^ I have heard he knocked up a cheerleader... Riley was an AWFUL hire. I am not sure who we will get after this season, I would not be surprised if the SF not wanting to go to Nebraska rumors are true
I think everyone here is realizing he just hasn't won anywhere he has coached, we tried to hire the polar opposite of Bo, not the best coach we could have hired
But I am REALLY sure Eichorst will be gone, what a guy lol
Historically Iowa State and Nebraska are miles apart. My point is that it's basically been a generation since they've even won a conference title.
For the record I don't like them at all and I was in Lincoln 2 years ago to watch iowa cap off 12-0 and froze my butt off and I couldn't have been happier to see NU lose. Warms my heart every time after decades of beat downs.
Some Nebraska fans are calling for Les Miles. He kept using "we" when announcing for them and I know his son plays for them.
Miles is 63 and had literally NO offense his last few years at LSU. So who knows?

I've thought more about it, and Eichorst's "unacceptable" comment not only throws Riley under the bus, it throws the players under the bus. They should fire Eichorst this week, not matter what they do with Riley.
What would they do? Bring Osborne back as interim AD?
Nebraska is most likely going to be hiring a basketball coach for sure after this year. Now it may be football and basketball.
Maybe, like the Gophers, Nebraska just needs a catchy slogan to be successful...How bout "ah shucks, we're the huskers" or "field of dreams" (oh wait, that one has been taken), "we are red in the face" and "red in the ass"(after having been kicked by NIU and Oregon), "land of hiring and firing"
I actually have no problem (mostly) with the Nebraska Football Coaches or most of its' players. It is their arrogant and pompous fans and Athletic Department Administrators that I dislike. If they would just play the game with humble integrity and stop rubbing everyone else's face in a Championship they won 20+ years ago and face their schedule and opponents like they respect them and give credit to teams when they are beaten fair and square then we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
It's Nebraska, they aren't going after top college coaches when there are top NFL coaches to be had. Look for flights from Foxborough or Pittsburgh to Lincoln.
Yea a lot of people are calling for Les, but he was definately biased because his son is a redshirt freshman FB on the team haha. I think having to play Bama every year really hurt him overall, but his biggest knocks were not having a qb/developing him.
Some other names I have possibly heard are Frost (obviously), Stoops (doubtful), Chip Kelly (lol), and Dava Aranda (which I like)
Their offensive line play is horrible. I think they have real talent at the skill positions, but their QB gets murdered.
hey Hawk fans.. you live closer than us PSU guys. Nebraska still doesn't realize that although she was the bomb in HS, she's an overweight mother in a trailer with 4 diff baby daddy's. It is your duty to reminder her.
I think she knows.
US Today just beat the snot out of them.
Honestly, I don't think Eickhorst makes it through the season. But shockingly, their press things Mediocre Mike gets another year. Let's hope so!!!!!!
You like Dave Aranda as much after Saturday? Just curious.
It's sad, but who in their right mind would take the Nebraska job? Frost would be nuts to take it.
when I used to do a lot with HS and college football (ran a site called sandiegoballers.com) Dave Aranda was at Cal Lu... he was always looking at 4* players who wouldn't even set foot on campus.. he was a hungry young coach.
