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.

Nebraska is known over the years to have struggled against running Quarterbacks, they have to make sure that doesn’t happen today!!!

Robert Lloyd

I think our OL is the most problematic thing, not Emmett Johnson. If MSU gets on a roll and stops Dylan then we are in trouble.

Mitch Bronston

Any time you stop the run, you make a team one dimensional

the OL has to play better. the running backs can't run if there aren't any holes to run into. they have to protect the QB, 1 or 2 sacks are acceptable, but they can't give up 7 again.

I believe Coach Rhule and his staff have the ability to get the team to understand their shortcomings in the last game and will show them how to overcome the obstacles that Michigan presented. GO BIG RED!!! 🎈🎈🎈

Robert Lloyd

I believe we have three coordinators who will get the job done.

winning 4 big 10 games in a row very difficult with 2 away

Tim Michelsen

15 is stationary needs to help out line. He is a defensive line dream

Betty ONeill

We have to play and coach better

AK-460Mag Nurse

I doubt it, but I'd be happy with 3/4 at this point. Hope I'm wrong though.

Bill Petty

Can't get stops when it counts the most. Can't move ball when it counts the most. O line and D line have been and continue to be a problem. I am not hopeful going forward.

George mcdaniel

They will go 1 and 3

Richard Johnson

We have a DC that can't adjust on the fly.

Sporty361

Our line play is mediocre. We have skill players but our line play on both sides will be our limiting factor. We need to find toughness for 4 quarters. In this age of celebrating every yard, we lose rock hard toughness.

Roy Katskee

Football games are won with offensive and defensive lines. We have neither.

John Reeb

Our O-Line & D-Line are simply not good enough to get the job done.
