Needs to allow most of the cancerous Pelini boys to graduate first.

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.

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....

It's Nebraska. Harbaugh came into Michigan year one and took a group of players that were 500 last year and won. You have to really study Riley's decision making that lead to those close losses. If He continues to make horrible calls in year 2..Have to move on.

At least three years!

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.

i don't believe that 18 months is enough, he has Pelini recruits yet, and although they are some good kids, i think it will take at least 3 good recruiting classes for Coach Riley to get his own recruits and be able to show if he is the right pick for the job...

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 needs enough time to get his recruits in place and that's not enough time.

Nebraska had a massive hole to climb out of and he is on his way Jim R

no reason to think so

Neb made average qb's look great all year. J. Rosen is in C Cook's realm, this game ends badly if the D spends a lot of time on the field.

The coaching staff has not proven that they can keep up with even half way decent teams this season, I suspect the UCLA QB could have a career day if they pass deep.

They have not contained even mediocure qbs. Wish em luck though.

Husker Def. is too slow at linebacker.

Too much speed on the UCLA team for the Huskers.

Im going all out here folks. I want my team to make a statement to the college football world by shutting down the UCLA offense and taking this game. Last year they almost did it to USC, this year no excuses (JUST DO IT)!! GBR

really with mark banker as defensive coordinator???? proud director of the worst Husker defense ever.... feel bad for the student athlete.. they came to Nebraska as winners and leave with what riley and company gave them... sad

I'll believe it when I see it
