This Staff Works FAST

Need to be reminded of this continually. After all, the Riley lovers on here always mention Pelini. But those idiots still don’t comprehend that Pelini is twice the coach that Riley is!
A very long response when all you should have said was, "No, Riley did not come to Nebraska with low energy in terms of recruiting & the high energy of recruiting continued into the 2017 season."
You're bad at your job and don't make lots of money? That's gotta be the worst.
I didn't say or imply that
Riley's tenure was marked by a lack of effort/ energy and commitment
The facts are given a much more difficult equation, Riley's successor is blowing out Riley's results. After frost blows it out here in the games the Riley lovers are going to look so misguided in their worship of a 19-19 guy
The narrative that the Riley staff loved recruiting, was good at it and worked hard at it is being disproven
The narrative that Riley's staff were more committed to, better at and worked harder at it than pelini did isnt backed up by facts or results. It was wishful thinking that we all wanted to believe. I think pelini hated recruiting, but his results weren't any worse than smilin Mike who supposedly liked it
But just like the lie we were constantly told by Riley that they wanted to run the ball the recruiting prowess thing was completely false as well

Quit trying to talk about stuff I'm not even arguing. I was very specific in my question to you and you go on a 4-6 paragraph tirade about everything but answering my question.
Aren't you the same poster who said Pelini was right about Husker fans on tapegate?
My first post was less than 6 months ago so no
Pelini is no ceo in d1
It was time for him to go
There are demanding fans in any legit big boy program
Want no scrutiny or expectations? go to safe space like Oregon state- participation trophy u
The poster who claimed Pelini was right in tapegate posted as much less than 2 months ago.
I thought it was you or Huskercigar.
Okay. Not sure what that has to do with anything.
Wasn't me
Tape gate release was what 5 years ago?
Point was Pelini was wrong about hassling the fans
All legit big boy programs have expectations
If you can't handle big time expectations then you need to coach at a place like safe space Oregon state
Pretty easy to follow
It goes without saying Pelini was a much better coach than Riley, but he wasn't the long term solution and needed to go, I've been 100 percent consistent with that in all my posts

Or a FCS school.
And Riley never complained about the expectations here like Pelini did. Of course Riley never matched the expectations. That's never been disputed by me.
The only thing I've brought up in this thread on Riley is whether or not he had high energy when it came to recruiting. Not more or less energy than Frost. Overall high energy or not.
I'm saying yes he did have high energy when it came to recruiting. So far you haven't directly answered the question and bring up everything Riley except whether he had high energy or not.
I stated
Riley was LOW Energy once again
Once again Riley was low energy
Again- low energy
If that enough?
Weak effort
Weak commitment
Evidence:
Riley's recruiting class ranked number 31 year 1
Frost recruiting class wil be ranked number 20 year 1
Frost Recruited to team that won 4 games and two losing seasons in last 3
Riley was recruiting to 9/10 win seasons in last 7
No stories about Riley burning the midnight oil from a very supportive press . Shatel and dirk are suppressing stories about Riley's recruiting effort when the fans are desperate to want to believe in something?????
Much different story coming back about frosts effort
Effort and commitment/ frost compared to Riley isn't in the same universe. Laughable in fact
Cripes you're impossible. Just because Frost is better doesnt mean that Riley was low energy when it came to recruiting.
I will answer it...**** high energy. If it doesn't = results who cares.
Clowns are high energy...
It means Frost and Riley both have high energy when it came to recruiting but Frost is showing to be better at it.
That's fine. At least you're not wrong in claiming Riley had low energy when it came to recruiting.
I love hearing that I am not wrong...it hardly ever happens
The results are the results
Frost year 1 recruiting number 20
Riley year 1 recruiting number 31
The games matter
Frost will win more than 4 games with the soft loser attitude team he inherited
Riley sucked
He didn't work hard and he wasn't committed
You hitched your wagon to the wrong horse
You made a huge mistake
Your opinion was wrong
Move on
When I read about a head coach taking his 62 year old wife to a 3 hour baseball game during game 1 week- I'm not getting a feeling the guy is laser focused on his effort and game results
No commitment
Weak effort
Paycheck collector/ job protector/fraud

So a 63 year old man needs more experience to recruit More effectively ?
We were sold a bill of goods that this guy was a very good recruiter who loved to recruit
All he needed was better facilities and more money to recruit better- that was what we were sold on
I guess that wasn't true either?
Lack of effort
Lack of commitment
Lack of skills
Lack of credibility
All added up to a lack of wins
I even laid out my argument again for you, yet once again you failed to acknowledge my stance and bring up something I'm not even disagreeing with you on.
Sorry but you're really bad at this.
Just wondering, but who really cares how much "energy" Riley had while recruiting. His results were his results, regardless of how much "energy" he had. At the end of the day, Riley & Pelini's staffs fought to a draw on the recruiting front. And yet the constant narrative on this board was that Rileys recruiting was so much better than Bo's - in spite of the numbers.
Shouldn't we all now try to look forward and focus on our new coach and how he's doing? From where I'm sitting, I'm VERY EXCITED for the upcoming season as is every Husker fan I've personally talked to in Phoenix, and we have a large fan base down here.
Geezus. Bo sucked. Riley sucked. I hope Frost is the savior. Early returns look good. He's winning the off-season so far. What matters is winning during the season. Hopefully that comes too.
You didn't say that about the OP. If you want to live in the past then you can't pick and choose which past that is acceptable to discuss.

Hey, good morning, sunshines!!!! Beautiful day to be FULL of Energy, and to CLOSE THE DEAL!!!!
I liked the 'free meal' on the phone line a few posts back....

Careful... if you don’t hate Riley then you hate Frost, and are ignorant as well, if I’m understanding correctly.
Looks like the final tally conservatively will be NU rated #22 and with 25 signees and 9 four star kids. Well done
If the pattern holds true compared to other NU coaching staffs (Callahan, Pelini, Riley)- the 3rd class should be in the # 11-15 range as long as the team shows some improvement

I think you are misunderstanding. The relation between the two has been misinterpreted.
