Need more than that (4-5 years). If people still don't see how dysfunctional Pelini's coaching style was, then they will never get it. Nebraska can't do what Kansas did to Gill. Only gave him 2 years. If NU does that I'm out.

If Tom would get involved and put pressure on Riley to produce or else, is the only way to get rid of this staff. I see next year being 4-8. the fans are going to get tired of these guys real fast. can they get better? SHOW US!!

A Coach needs 4 years to get all the players he recruited for his system in place

Some decisions that lost games have nothing to do with time. The record already could have been better than it was.

Exactly. If Riley had used an offensive gameplan similar to what we saw against UCLA, Nebraska would have had a 9-3 or 8-4 season, and been in a better bowl game.
No, he was replacing a winning coach, he should come in on fire. The fact that the Athletic director did not hire a winning coach makes it even more of a disaster. This coach has only ever proven to be a hair better than .500.

his system is already in place... in fact with his history, a 5 and 7 record is an incredible accomplishment..... 2016 will be worse..... too bad for the student athletes....

As long Armstrong is QB, he can not get his system up in running, I say three year will be required for both defense and offense will be in place.

New coaches need at least three years to get their system in place and recruit players that fit that system. Obviously, there have been coaches that have moved to schools and won big right away. That is the exception. Remember, Saban went 6 and 6 in his first year at Alabama.

It is what it is. These players have responded well to this transition. We all have to be flexible in life. So do the players. The ruled of nature, "Do or die" Three years. It's only fair.

This team is as good as he will get, sorry to say. Obrien will be a better QB for Riley's system.

a good coach will evaluate the athletes he has, then he will determine how to use them.....not the other way around.....if we ran this offense that we did Saturday we wouldnt have played our bowl game yet.....I hope he understands that....if not the schedule gets no easier the next couple of years

He has the experience and we should see results after a recruiting class
ReplyReally think it will take 2 years
ReplyRiley needs another QB to run the offense he pushed upon Armstrong to execute during the season. If the Huskers had the same 'establish the run first" game plan, as we ran against UCLA, we would have won 5-7 more games. If Armstrong is the only QB option in 2016, RUN the ball!
ReplyHe really needs 2-3 years to get his players in there and working for him.
ReplyThe third year of his coaching should tell us quite a bit.
ReplyWell, it's been 18 months, so it should be in place by now. these kids aren't stupid, and they are good athletes.
ReplyEveryone needs to have time to get the job done.
