Nebraska 2018 Season Thread

[Entropy]

Les Miles at Nebraska would be scary but I think things need to get a lot worse before Riley gets fired.  Just think, maybe Miles would bring his old defensive coordinator back to help him out in Lincoln?  

I have been given the impression that if Riley makes a bowl game, he'll have another year.  If not, many in the state want Scott Frost.  
My guess is it would be Frost because he's a TO's player/coach/legacy....  the pendulum has to swing in that direction based upon the fan base.

The road to a bowl game appears to be a tough one, judging by the start of the season. 

Hard to find 5 more surefire wins on that schedule. 

Hanging onto the stAte game obviously helps. They could easily be 0-3. 

[BrownCounty]

Nebraska has no chance ever in the B1G.  It's too bad they have such passionate fans.

There will never come the day when Nebraska outmuscles Ohio St, Penn St, Michigan, etc, for Midwest recruits.

And they won't wrestle southern recruits from the SEC or the TX/OK Big 12.

B1G was a death knell for the Huskers.  Good luck Big Red.

You do realize Nebraska has never recruited the rust belt well... so...

[FearlessF]

Still haven't seen a snap of this one, should I even bother watching when I return home?  I had a couple texts, regarding pick sixes, and then one saying, 'You were right, this is Callahan 2.0'

I wouldn't bother if I were you.
I wish I had not watched
the offense was unbearable

[MarqHusker]

I buzzed through the first quarter last night, truthfully to hear how bad Les Miles was in the booth.  I mean, Wow.  Re: Offense, nice opening drive by the Huskers, until it wasn't.   Brilliant scouting by NIU on the bubble.

I will likely dispatch with the rest of it, and watch Burn's Vietnam War series on PBS.

if Nebraska falls to Rutgers, is it end of the line for Riley?

[847badgerfan]

I think he's safe for a week. Haha.

No. Just no.
Nebraska was winning 9-10 games every year in the B1G under Pelini. He got fired because he couldn't get them over that hump to compete for a title but also because he was an ASSHOLE.
Nebraska is one of the best brands in college football, with one of the best stadiums in college football, and with one of the best traditions in college football.
All it takes is the right coach. Mike Riley was never the right coach. Chip Kelly comes in there, they'll be competing within 2 years.

yes, he may last a few more weeks, but the deal will be sealed.
With Wisconsin and Ohio St. looming, if the Huskers lose to Rutgers at home and/or Illinois on the road, Riley is gone

I think one of Chip's former assistants makes more sense.
