Nebraska has fired coach Mike Riley after the Cornhuskers spiraled to a 4-8 finish in his third season.
(Excerpt) Read more at espn.com ...
are you serious?? He quite literally had the WORST Husker team in 100 years!!
Never should have been hired...
Mike O’Reilly and Mike McCoy both ex Charger head coaches fired this week hours apart. Great exacta, throw in Norm Turner last year and shows how bad Charger HC’s were.
Is Solich available?
4 - 8 at Nebraska is not going to cut it. There will be more firings this weekend.
I miss Bob Devaney. Hell, I miss Big 8 football. Lived for the Okla/Neb game at TG.
He was sooo committed to Nebraska that his transition will require him to check out of the Embassy Suites-
Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne are not coming back. Unfortunately.
“Man, woman and child!!!”
The coaching carousel this season may set a record. UCLA has hired Chip Kelly so he’s off the market.
said from the get-go; bad move by Nebraska when they hired him and worse move by Riley leaving OSU for the job...
In case that’s too obscure for any but a dyed-in-the-wool Nebraskan, Lyle Bremser was the “Voice of the Huskers” during the golden years, and that phrase - which was reserved for the ultimate moments in a game - will send chills down the spine of anyone who remembers listening to “Cornhusker Football on KFAB in Omaha, Good Neighbor to the Midwest”:

oops Lyell Bremser, not Lyle. My bad.
Nebraska should have never gone to the Big Ten.
His 6.6 million buyout says otherwise-
“I miss Bob Devaney. Hell, I miss Big 8 football. Lived for the Okla/Neb game at TG.”
So true.And the 10 in Big 10. Bunch of greedy power mad bastards ruined the perfect American football tradition. NCAA blows.
They’ve been wandering in the wilderness since they fired Solich after a 9-win season.
Two traitors from Wisconsin, Bret Bielama former WI football coach got fired at Arkanas and Tom Crean former basketball coach at Marquette fired from Indiana basketball. Warms my heart. Both left Wisconsin for more $$$$$
Old program, old fan base, awful location for recruits - it’s time they take the corn out of their ears and go D2.
