Just telling you he had no idea until a meeting was already scheduled with Diaco. I also knew Stewart would be gone for a coordinator position that I shared thru PM and that Bray was looking for a DC position but turned down the San Jose State job. None of that was made up. Your effort to to protect Riley at all costs has to be an exhausting one even when he's not getting attacked. Carry on.
Devaney was hired to better the position of Nebraska football. He's the GM, if he finds something that could be a positive impact, he will jump on it. Riley will obviously give an 'ok', but Riley wasn't actively searching for a DC. One was presented to him and communication had already been made about his interest, then when we found out another team was in play the wheels went real fast in motion.
If you are saying that the Bob Diaco hire was not a Mike Riley initiative, then I am afraid that I am going to have to report you to the Troll Detectives!
Bilsker, are you out there? I found another guy who is not giving full credit to MR for the Diaco hire! I am sure you would like to charge him with trolling!
Bilsker, you need to tell folks to ignore this *** Fellow! Trolls are not to be fed! Do your job, Sheriff!
Note: Atta Boy Mr Devaney and Mr Eichorst. I think Diaco is a great hire!
"Thank you for your support Suhperman! I hope to meet Coach Diaco one day soon. I have not had a chance to speak with him yet, but they say he is a good conversationalist. They tell me he has a good resume, too! I will say hello to him for you!"
Devaney is very much a good thing for Riley. How we are handling things will either get us to where we want to be (conference title game) in the next 3 years or tank us. I don't think we will stay status quo.
He is the bridge between Eichorst and the football team. SE did not want to get into another situation like the end of Pelini's tenure. Devaney presents to him what is wanted by the staff, what he thinks the staff needs, etc.
I've debated this with people when looking for hires or interviewing for my own position. I'd much rather have great for 3 years as opposed to adequate for 6. Great raises those around them. Good can learn from great.
Actually, I do see them as trollish. They seem to have adopted this style when struggling to keep people engaged in the program. They've written with far more sensationalism in recent years.If you can't ignore me, how do you expect anyone else to?
As a troll detective, are Shatel and McKewon also on your list of suspects? They are saying the same thing as me!
Hence my "Rhetorical Device" comment. I agree that they are more sensationalist nowadays. Along with that is the drive to generate traffic to the OWH. What better way to drive clicks than to troll Husker Nation?
Well, this is true. I only meant that they're (Sam and Tom) writing to attract more clicks
