Nebraska Needs To Try “The Nebraska Way” And Get It Out Of Its System

Fullbacks. Walk-ons. The option. Run the ball. Nebraska guys in Nebraska positions. Maybe we should just give it a shot.

Silent E has been fired and Corn Nation, at least from the looks of the comments here, rejoices. You’ll forgive me if I don’t tag along. I take no solace in the decision. I’d already written about the “lather, rinse, repeat” process earlier this week, and it seems that it has started earlier than anyone expected this year.

I have a hard time believing that Mike Riley is going to keep his job given that the man who hired him is gone. We’ll do this thing where we dangle a number and say things like, “If he gets to 9 – 3 or 8 – 4, he’ll probably keep his job”, when we know with about 85% certainty that that is a big load of crap. Mike Riley is a lame-duck and there will be little point in keeping him around after the season. I suppose there will be a lot of you would will rejoice when Riley is fired as well. Good for you. Nebraska will be firing another coach after a nine-win season, that is, unless Riley completely tanks this season at which point whatever athletic director we have will be justified in firing him. Do you hope that happens or do you hope there’s still some fight in this team?
