He had the Huskers in a lot of games last year, he should be higher. http://athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-all-128-college-football-head-coaches-2016

Rankings are BS as there are too many variables. Somebody who has way too much time and can't come up with anything better to write about.

Dan Cubrich

Actually this ranking is about right. I'm not expecting better than a 9 or 10 win season in any of the seasons Riley is at Nebraska. I hope I'm wrong.

Stephen Johnson

He has never won a conference title anywhere.

craig dunker

d of the year when the team finally bought in they beat some very good teams

Steve Johnson

I think in 2-3 years, you'll see the Huskers back in the top 10-15 on a regular basis. This year, the Huskers will be back to 9 wins and finish in the top 25. Give it time.

So far I'd say show me! He hasn't yet. NU is soft and not tough. That is why turnover margin is terrible and the team has a lot of injuries.

Rankings are based on results, not on expectations.

Kevin Gress

He took a 9 win team and only won 6 (and would only have been 5 without a gift). Given how many teams there are out there and given his record, being ranked #41 is a gift.

Isaiah Skrdla

A coach should be judged by what he puts on the field and Mike Riley is a .500 coach who has never won a championship in American Football. How long has the guy coached? 20-25 yrs. That's pretty bad.

Will Cortez Mills be a game-changer at wide receiver in 2025?

NU needs a freshman to have a big time impact. Hopefully this is the one.

I've given up any hope of anyone being an impact player until they prove they can actually perform. Too many "BUSTS", including the team, overall.

Roland St.Denis

Having watched him several times now, he needs to develop physically, and even more importantly, must focus on the mental game. He has too many lapses at the high school level. That will be magnified in the B1G

John Hoie

The only recent freshman I thought would be an impact player was Raiola. Barney was a pleasant surprise.

Why not... at least we can hope during the off-season. We are Nebraskans after all.

Michael Hoffart

Next season would be the season to do it. Pretty good set up schedule wise and we SHOULD have the talent to make it happen.

James Key

At least 8 Wins if no glaring issues.

A B

1. look at MR history. 2. Look at how MR's aggressiveness at improving coaching and roster. 3. the team has been learning how to win and we are positioned for a break through. 4. Dylan Raiola!!!

David Dahlkoetter

Better depth. Offensive line needs to improve and will Defense looks awesome. Qb play will be better. Better widouts.

James McDermott

The schedule favors the huskers. The team seems to finally have the finishing attitude

Mike O

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

I can't do it! I can't say it. Husker fans have been burned too many times. PROVE IT FIRST! GBR!

Isaiah Skrdla

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

Dave Levesque

I've been let down too many times.

Roger Shriver

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.
