new ADBM will hopefully make the decision very quickly after Iowa, and if it's Riley is gone, hopefully have a new coach in place (at least named) as soon as possible. With the Dec signing date, everything needs to sped up, just to give any coach a chance to keep as many recruits as he can. This would be the one time a Dec signing period could hurt us.

.......and it's starting. I don't see how this recruiting class stays together in its current form.
You could almost make a case for a late season switch due to the early signing period. You no longer get 2-3 months of recruiting anymore. You get 4. Weeks.
The situation is sad, but it's Riley's fault. Everything was set up for a huge class. Riley just needed to have a decent season. Instead, we have seen a train wreck.
Hopefully the new coach will keep a few key assistants and salvage some/most of the class. Agreed that the new coach needs to be a name/personality that resonates with recruits.
There are some really good young assistants and recruiters on board. Would be nice to keep a few. OTOH if the team rallies...most of this part of the season will be in the shadows and there may not be a change. Unfortunately the internet will keep the torches lit. I'm for whatever makes Nebraska great again.

If Moos has Frost, or someone else in his pocket, we could just wait until Jan 1 to fire Riley (having the early signings from recruits in december). Then we'd already have the letters of intent from those top players which are enrolling early, and our new coach. I realize that's very sleazy but...
Yes, very sleazy, and probably a justifiable reason for recruits to request being released from their Letters of Intent. :Frown:If Moos has Frost, or someone else in his pocket, we could just wait until Jan 1 to fire Riley (having the early signings from recruits in december).

We dont need that bad PR, so lets do it with class and let the chips fall where they may. GBR
I was being a little sarcastic, don't think we should actually do that, but it's possible.
I thought I had read that coaching changes will not be justifiable for release even after the early signing period. Maybe I am wrong on that one.

Okay I just looked it up. Recruits that sign an NLI in December, can not have an opt out clause due to any coaching changes. So they would be entitled to current transfer rules (sit out a year).

The early signing period doesn't really change things if the recruits are waiting to see about a coaching change. They still have several weeks until the final signing day to decide. I believe I read that Bookie plans to wait until the February signing day and I imagine most will unless they aren't solid for Nebraska no matter what. I can understand a recruit's loyalty to a coaching staff, but I still believe our program and university is bigger than any single coach. Some recruits will see that and choose accordingly IMO.
