SE wanted them, and I think positions that could be eliminated, entirely.
Heard DR say the AD employs 1 person for every 2 athletes at DONU.
Thats 350 employees for 700 athletes.
That is bloat.

Doesn't matter if he earned it not. Unless there is a clause in his contract that says he had to have a certain record by the end of year three, he is legally owed the money.

Chip Kelly would be an absolute HOMERUN.
I think we all would love Chip Kelly but outside of his connection to Moos, why do you think he'd come here? Especially if he hates recruiting...
I think a $6 million salary for starters. And for someone who hates recruiting, he sure did just fine at Oregon - another place that needs to recruit nationally like Nebraska. Kelly would hire a staff that could take care of the recruiting aspect. His name and reputation are enough to get kids all over the country interested in playing for him in his offense. He only needs to seal the deal on some top targets in December/January, something he has been good at in the past.
I think he got the idea of the NFL out of his system, ala Nick Saban, and knows he would build a monster program on the college level again. Why Nebraska? Why not?
I don't know Chip Kelly from Adam, but he sure does come off as an arrogant cuss IMO. I realize all successful coaches have to have some of that in their DNA, but man he can be very smug. I don't know how well that would play in the heartland.
If he wins, he can be as arrogant as he wants in the heartland (see Barry Switzer)
Arrogant and blowout losses are when you have an issue.
Barry was arrogant, but it was always with a little bit of humor. I remember when he brought Devaney some tacos on the set of his prediction show.
I'm in. Where's the kool aid? I'm ready to drink it all! Would absolutely be a home run hire for us
I don't remember the Devaney stunt, but you're right. Arrogant, smarmy, but always quick with a joke. That act wouldn't play if he'd started out losing to NU and Texas right out of the gate. He was a character, because he won. He'd have just been an arrogant ass if he hadn't.
It seems you haven’t been beat up enough n the corporate world.
I agree with Thill. I would have less respect for Riley if he didn’t take the money.
My advice to Riley. Take the money go back to Where you went to high school and coach. Enjoy life. You’ve earned it.
If he won 10 games a year and played for the Big Ten title 2 or 3 times every five years...i think it'd go over fine.
