How did the interwebs react to the hiring of Mike Riley as Head Coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers?
It was mixed.
Mike Riley was once an innovator or the 3-4 defense. Diverse coaching background.

Amongst his peers, Mike Riley finished 2nd in an ESPN poll behind Cutcliffe as the most underrated coach in the country. #peers.

MIke Riley was always squeezing blood out of a tomato in Corvallis. More infrastructure at Neb. Love the hire.

I may be in the minority here but I like the Riley hire for #Huskers better than the McElwain hire for #Gators. Thoughts?

Remember 2012? #huskers lost to UCLA and Wisconsin - Mike Riley beat both & and held Badgers to 10 pts, Huskers let Wisky lay 70.

Now Riley has resources to get better HS recruits. W/ his track record of making players better, u wonder where #Huskers will be in few yrs.
