Hours after Nebraska announced of athletics director Shawn Eichorst’s firing, head coach Mike Riley was in front of cameras Thursday giving his thoughts on the man that hired him.

Riley describes himself as “saddened” and “taken aback” by the move, but after a bad loss to NIU last week, can anyone blame Nebraska for wanting to make a change?

The only question now is whether or not it will be their last one.

At 1-2 Nebraska hosts Rutgers at 2:30 p.m Saturday.
