#Huskers, help us welcome Coach Mike Riley to the Big Red family!#GBR

I suppose his good seasons might be better than Pelini's but his down seasons will be spent going to crappy bowl games.

 

[CyTwins]

Whoa!

 

[chuckd4735]

So Nebraska pretty much had this guy lined up when they fired Bo. Is this really the best Nebraska could do?

 

[mj4cy]

Never heard of him, that's all you need to know about where Nebraska football is now compared to 20 years ago

 

[CyArob]

Their fans are not going to be happy.

 

[oldwiseman]

Husker meltdown should be good. Get your popcorn.

 

[DSMCy]

Who?

I know, Oregon State's head coach, but won't this be most people's reaction? I guess good for them for going a little outside the box. Maybe they knew they'd miss on any "splashy" hires.

 

[roundball]

LOL and WTF

without doing any research I think this is the guy from Oregon State right?

 

[DesertClone1]

That's a head scratcher on so many levels. I can't believe they passed on Frost.

 

[Incyte]

He seems nice.

 

[RedlineSi]

Weird, weird hire.

 

[brianhos]

Wow, 5-7 at OSU this year and he gets a job at Nebraska?

Who passed on who?

Or how much you know about college football....Riley is a really good coach, has been for a long time. With that said, idk how he's an upgrade of Bo.

 

[nj829]

Wow, he will do well in the Big 10, but not sure he is an upgrade from Bo from a W/L perspective.

 

[Luth4Cy]

He has NFL experience, because that worked out so well for Nebraska last time.

Maybe Nebraska looked at Chizik and thought, hey, you know...

 

[Luth4Cy]

Will they have hecklers when he gets off the plane, like Auburn had with Chiz?
