Mike Riley
Hahahahahahaha
Didn't see that one coming. I'm sure Scott Frost is confused too. His offense just embarrassed Mike Riley. But hey it could work out I guess. Or it could set Nebraska back even further. It's not a slam dunk hire, that's for sure.
He did win 9 games in 4 of those 14 years...

LOL! Ok, the guy isn't a BAD coach, but is he seriously going to be an upgrade over Pelini, or even as good? Riley's resume actually kind of reminds me of KF's.. Took over a bad program, built it up some, had a 3 year run (2006-08) with some success and then dropped off....
Yeah, I can't imagine this is quite what Husker Nation had in mind when Pelini was shown the door.
I think it could be a sneaky good hire. Riley has had some very good teams mixed in with some bad ones at place that is not a hot bed.
This might buy time to get Frost some more seasoning.
He's the anti-Pelini, at least in terms of sideline antics.
