I do not get this hire at all. This strikes me as a prescription for disaster. OSU was not all that good recently under Riley.

nat, they had a losing record this year. Plus, he is 61 years old, which is a bit old to rebuild a program. Having saud that, the K State guy argues against me.

This is one of the dumbest hires in years. Look for the Nebraska AD to be on a very short leash in the next couple of years. Riley or Pelini......I'm going with Bo every time.

Guy has won 8 games 6 or more times at the equivalent of the Pac12s Purdue. I would have said IU, but Wazzu takes that title.Originally posted by TwinDegrees2:
It's my opinion (and I never asked you to agree with it) the dumb part is you have a coach in place who's won 9 games every year who just happened to get into a pissing match with the AD last year. It doesn't take a lot to see where that was going, does it?
He's consistently been a winner, and I'd guess you would jump up and down with joy to see him pacing the Boiler sideline as your coach.
You hire a guy who, by all accounts is a "nice guy", but who's record in college and the pro's indicate he's not HC material. Riley has how many league titles? How many bowl trips? How many bowl wins?
Riley has never been a winner Nat. And you and others believe he'll come to a place like Nebraska and the B10 and win?
Would you trade him for Hazell at this point in both their careers or you just "spouting off"?
Agree, Nebraska isn't a mess that needs to clean house. They just are good program stuck in neutral. And remember that Pelini didn't have HC experience before Nebraska. Perhaps Pelini isn't HC material, and was just able to coast by on the advantages afforded to him by the Nebraska program (recruiting, fan support, money, etc).Originally posted by nat100:

As for Nebraska, i dont think a rebuild is necessary. They have good talent. If he can find a QB, he is in business
no they werent losing record 3 of the last 5 years its a very bad hire
