Ok so yesterday Nebraska gets the old Oregon state coach Riley who I see never had a season there where he didn't lose less than 4 games in any one season. BUT, Bo Pelini never lost more than 4 games in 7 seasons. STUPID!


Lets see , Florida goes out and buys the contract out from Colorado state to get Jim McElwain who they were saying last night on espn that his record coaching against top 25 teams in his career is something like 4-23. Really? Florida, that's the best you can do for your starving boosters, McElwain? STUPID

MICHIGAN- go get Tressel and thank me later, hell with the Michigan man crap, it's failed, go get a winner.

Tressel would of been a great pick for Nebraska, pound the football and play great defense. No, you got Rielly,lol

You are looking at Riley's record vs Top 25 teams not McElwain as he's only been a head coach 3 years and faced 5 top 25 teams at most over this time. I think Florida has a great hire in this guy personally.

Riley leaves me scratching my head. Sure he might be a good coach given Corvallis is difficult to attract talent, but he was still just 93-80 and his team flat-out looked horrid vs Oregon last week upon completing a 5-7 season. So you fire Pelini for a guy who doesn't have near the resume, very puzzling although many people really like Riley.

I also really believe FLORIDA got a STUD...In three years the Gators will be back on top...If you are a football guy and haven't been under a rock for three years the proof is in the pudding...You do not turn a program like Colo St around as quickly as he did without LOTS of skills..I watched them several times this year and i will tell you they were as well coached as any other team i saw with maybe the exception of K St...I have no worries this man will get the job done...

Now for Nebraska this is going to be be a love hate situation...If Riley st
ruggles I promise they will be calling for his head...Unlike the Colo St situation were the cubbard was bare Neb has players...Time will tell....

I like both hires.....to have a winning record at ore st over that long is impressive

Plus couple bowl game appearances and good QBS who are nfl type guys....in a shitty program in a shitty recruiting area....



Put em in better area with facilities that are intriguing to athletes and skys the limit IMO.....nebraska did well.....riley is hugely respected





Florida- agree with everything above.....anyone but muschamp
