Pat Fitzgerald is a class act....

[HuskerDana_rivals188993]

Sees the writing on the wall and seemed pretty upset about what will likely be Riley's fate. Good luck the rest of the way, Wildcat fans.

On another note, NU never quit. Hats of to Riley and the staff for keeping this team focused enough for this team to not totally collapse.....2007-style.

The scores may not be the same, but the collapse remains intact.

No, I don't accept that one bit. Are we at the point that the staff deserves credit for losing but not by enough? F that, get these guys outta here.

 

[The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy]

Fitzgerald is probably bummed that playing Nebraska won’t be a guaranteed win going forward.

Who wouldn’t make a case for MR as an opposing coach?

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

It happens, staffs come and go. Only people I ever have any bad feelings about are the players. But they know how football works.

Give it an F'n rest. As I said, this staff is already gone....as they should be. Keep freaking stating the effing obvious.

All I was saying is that they did at least play hard.

My post had nothing to do with the players or how hard they did or did not play. I have nothing against the players on this team. They only play as they are taught.

They are done and everyone knows it, no reason to spit on their graves.

No one was defending Riley other than that he still has a team that is playing hard.

I can hate Bruce Weber (and want him fired) but still acknowledge that he does recruit NBA draft picks.

RollingLaughDerp. You should go back and look at my posting history over the last month, Cletus.

Yeah, it's always weird, people think you are a supporter if you don't hate every aspect of said person.

When in actuality, having the ability to find decent parts is a good quality to have.

Pat is a terrible tactician. Don't show how you handled to last minute of the first half at your next football camp. Awful clock management

Losing brings out a lot of classless people.

 

[barney44]

I want people to think our coach runs up the score on them..

At least Pat acknowledged the mistake immediately in post game.

 

[CatColumbia]

Don’t be naive guys. He knows his road to the West title is about to get harder.

So does winning...unfortunately...

 

[CameronKrazie86]

The 2007 team would take this team to the woodshed.

 

[timnsun]

They are done and everyone knows it, no reason to spit on their graves.

Actually for this fan base, there are lots of reasons to spit on their graves.

These coaches are dead men walking, and rightfully so... the disdain for them is over the top tho.

 

[spinner4_rivals42045]

And why the hell would Pat Fitz be someone to understand what’s going on? He’s never been around a football program with a big fan base. Some HS football teams in Texas sell more Tickets than NW does for its home games. He has no idea the pressure certain coaches have to win from fan bases. Go home and celebrate with your 12 fans Pat. You deserve it

No there arent. They busted their humps trying to get it done and were classmacts every step of the way. They just didn’t get the job done, no reason for all the over the top personal stuff. They are gone nothing else anyone can ask for at this point.

This ^^ 100%

Let’s stop giving this guy credit for being nice. Riley is filling that act for the time being.

He wants us to keep Riley so he can continue to kick our tails annually

Oh I agree with you 100%... probably wasn’t clear in my post... just look at the board and you will see many reasons to spit on their graves. Sad really...

 

[jimbosc]

If Fitzs gives the thumbs up Moos needs to give the high tail it out of here thumb to MR.

 

[HuskerDana_rivals188993]

That was already decided before this week, anyway.

 

[AndrewVonLintel]

Mike Riley is being the guy that Nebraska hired.

His track record continues. Dont be mad at him, be mad at the people that hired him.

 

[LACatFan]

Yea, I doubt that's the case. Fitz has beat Pelini as well, in Lincoln. I get that you guys are ticked @ the loss, but Pat's comments came from the right place.

Wow. You mad, bro?

 

[HuskerO58]

Who is defending Riley in this thread or saying this loss was okay?

Just because some don't think Riley is the worst coach in the universe or give Riley some props doesn't mean they're okay with today's game.

 

[spinner4_rivals42045]

Wow. You mad, bro?

A, yea. Duh. My team lost to Northwestern at football at home. Are you one of the 12 NW football fans? What did you see a highlight of the score or something and that’s why you responded 5 hours after my post?

 

[WoodRiverJennings]

I didn't see a ton of effort out there today. They looked completely defeated after Lee threw that last INT. You could tell with the body language and the way the captains walked out to do the toss in OT that they didn't give a **** if they won. Then the defense went out and basically handed NW a td.

 

[cHUCK001]

It happens, staffs come and go. Only people I ever have any bad feelings about are the players. But they know how football works.

The players have played hard and tough for 2 games. The rest of them have been a joke. I do not like Jason Peter, but he has made some good points. The effort has been really poor for the most part. I do not feel sorry for them , because they are most of the problem.

Just recalling the board conversation last week when we barely beat Purdue with all the comments about him needing time for his players and system to take root. True - Riley is not the worst coach in D1, but he is not good. The evidence at Nebraska - and his entire career - clearly illustrate that.

And yet some of the same people who are defending him continue to call Bo Pelini the worst coach ever. Just saying.....it gets over embellished on both sides.

So this week you're bringing up something that was discussed last week?

With "all of the comments"? Please, those were few and far between last week too.
