No - unless he quits. An interim AD is not going to fire anyone. A new AD gets hired first before Riley gets fired.

I've stated I think Riley will be fired tomorrow and a new AD announced Monday or Tuesday.

I really think he's gone. This team has completely quit. Can't even line up for a punt. There's too much season left to endure, these kids need a different leader NOW.

What's the new guy going to do? Tell them they better line up on time or they're off the team? Can't wait to see what that Nebraska football team looks like with even more walk-ons playing.

Seen more than a few Husker teams not even compete against superior opponents in the last few years. Showing no sign of adequate preparation and no effort

If there were any justice in this world, Bo Pelini would have to be the one suffering through this with his senior recruiting class.
That's the best answer. I'm not happy with the current state at all, but Pelini saved face getting out of here before his recruiting took effect.

Everybody could see it, but no one wants to remember and now it's coming to fruition.
He low balled out classes and then took borderline recruits because they were easy. I at least give Riley recruiting cred. I think Pelini was a better coach in general though. Doesn't matter though when you hate recruiting.

He will definitely be canned after this game. The only thing left is the ticket base and this game will kill that too.

I kind of miss Solich, I really miss Osborne for not allowing a real candidate when we had the name.

I don’t have any idea, but who was the big name coaches or up and comers that would be available in 1997? I wonder what that alternate universe would look like. Who we would have gotten.
