He'll be too loyal to his staff just like the last two fellas.

Darrel Elgert

They are not getting it done

Dan Cubrich

You've got to be kidding, right? Purdue, a 1-6 team only scored 55 points on Nebraska, if that's not getting it done I don't know what is! LMAO!

Keith Petrie

He should have done it in the first place.

There is ZERO chance Riley changes anyone. One or two might leave of their own volition (doubtful) but no way Riley changes anyone. He doesn't think it's the coaching.

Valerie Gilmore

relationships are not built in a single gathering. let's all take a deep breathe, relax and concentrate on the positives.

Scott Ferguson

We have seen this before, BC hired his buddies and BP it was rumored would not change his final staff. Call it being stubborn or loyal to a fault. MR is not making staff changes with his buddies from OSU.

Mike Leonard

riley does not understand what everybodys so upset about

Virginia Workman

He brought the whole Oregon St group to NU do you really think he will replace any. It is obvious he should and replace his playbook as well. I am wondering if he knows how to call running plays haven't seen that yet. My heart goes out to these kids, the play calling is bad.

Ron Bauer

Not until the Head Coach gets together with ALL coaches and puts together an offensive scheme that fits the players, not the coach or his staff. They have the talent but they just don't have the plays to fit the players. Think Out-side the Box.

H G Keller

I don't think Riley sees anything wrong with what his team is doing. He doesn't see that they aren't using the players talents to the teams advantage. He doesn't see that the plays called are helping the team perform.

Brent Pope

Too soon.

Andy Fields

If he gets another year, so do his assitants

Mitch Humphrey

There is no reason for coaching changes at this time. HCMR was hired to do a job. Let him do it.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
