I don't think they should. It's not like he's this perfect target, and that buyout is ridiculous. What makes him a better target than Addazio or someone similar? And why wouldn't they just call Dan Mullen immediately and turn it over to him. I don't get it. Even Todd Graham would work.
Edit: Why not just go hire Greg Schiano? He's got Miami recruiting ties, he built a program at Rutgers, and he has NFL experience now.

The program would end up tanking all the way down to maybe 10 players on scholarship. He doesn't tolerate thugs, gangsters, or people who get arrested. Would be a good 7 years for it to rebuild under him.

College football should be broken down into eras. There wasn't a cohesive way to crown a champ until BCS. Also, if we are doing this seriously, all time titles are a stupid way to claim whether a team is a power program. This isn't the NFL.

Mizzou is 14-3 in the SEC the last 2 years. Of those 14 wins, 4 in 2013(Georgia, #24 Vanderbilt, #18 Texas A&M, Miss St), and 5 this year(Florida, Tenn, S Carolina, Texas A&M, Arkansas). So 9 of our 14 conference wins against winning teams. 5 of the 9 were ranked at the time we beat them. The only team we've played the past 2 years that had a losing record both years was Kentucky. our 3 losses were #13 Georgia this year, and #20 South Carolina and #3 Auburn last year. Mizzou went 8-0 in road games, 6-2 in home games, an 0-1 in neutral site games(SEC title) over those 2 years, oddly enough.

Oh, I have done quite a good job making those 60 minutes of shittastic football disappear until fuckers like Joeboo bring it back up. Fuck that game, fuck USC, and triple fuck Mike Stoops for accepting the Arizona job during the bowl prep. I don't think any team could have beaten USC that day, but I wish we would've at least made it a game for 5 fucking minutes.

I'm too lazy to dig that far, but just looking at this year, Missouri was 7-1 in conference, 1-1 against teams with a conference record of .500 or better. Interestingly enough, Missouri winning could have been the difference in 3 more teams being .500 in conference. Tenn, S Car, and A&M were all 3-5 and lost to us, had they beat us they'd be 4-4. Not surprisingly, only about half the conference is .500 or above in-conference, 8 of 14 with winning records(it kinda has to work that way, since every team that wins is another that loses)
I know the SEC will never claim it to be intentional, but they do a really good job of scheduling whipping boys for the top teams as their cross-division games each year. Out of the top 3 teams in the West(Bama, Miss St, Ole Miss), and the top 3 teams in the East(Missouri, Georgia, Florida) the only ones that played cross-division were Alabama and Florida. The East teams got to mostly beat up on the likes of Arkansas and A&M, and the West teams did a good job of beating up on Kentucky and Vanderbilt, lol.

Nebraska hires Oregon States Mike Riley as coach - Yahoo Sports
Not sure if there are any Husker fans on this board... but I really want to know what the fans' reaction to this hire is...

I think they have beaten two SEC teams with winning conference records in two years.
MIZZOU is a solid team with agreat coach. But, I would personally hold off on the boasting for a few years and a few titles.
Outside of being an AAU school, they haven't done anything brag worthy yet.

Which is why this hire makes me scratch my head just about as much as when UT hired Dooley. While I will not do anyone the disservice of putting them at that level of suckitude, I still just don't understand a move like this after firing a perennial 9 game a year winner, especially when it's only been a couple of days.

4 in two years. 3 last year(Georgia, Vandy, A&M) and 1 this year (Florida)
So, out of our 16 regular-season games, we're 14-2, with a 4-2 record against teams over .500 (and a 6-2 record against ranked teams)
So out of 16 games, we've played 6 teams with eventual winning records in conference, and we've played 8 teams that were ranked at the time we played them, we tend to knock people out of rankings when we win, I guess losing to us is an embarrassment or something, despite the fact that only like 5 programs have more wins than us over the past 8 years....
I'll take it. You can only beat who is on your schedule.
