The Hausman departure really hurts.

College football has become a swinging door of opportunity. Don't let the knob hit ya, where the good Lord split ya!

Thomas Wright

Amen Scott … probably should’ve never been playing for us in the first place then ! Who wants unloyal (especially Nebr. native) players anyway …. Can’t wait til kick their A$$ when we play against em ! lolololol

Linda Ogren

Only one player seen time, so should get better

Wade Williams

That's just part of the deal now with the portal, particularly after a coaching change. People may not care too much for it but we better all get used to it because it's not going anywhere.

Jerry Johnson

If they enter transfer portal, they are not willing to work, and play tough. Let them go elsewhere

Dan Benedict

The new staff needs the freedom to get the players that will fit their system. The kids that leave or stay away are no guarantees either.

john brandon

Rhule only wants young men who wish to be at Nebraska ... as simple as that.

Mike Knust

It's the new era that College Sports is in. It happens to every team. It's like NFL free-agency free for all.

Tom Hedlund

They chose to leave, and that's fine. We want players who want to be at Nebraska.

Patrick O'Brien

Coach Rhule needs to build his own team. Players that transfer shouldn't be there anyway.

Stuart Fagan

This is normal for a coaching change. I get it. But I do think that they'll regret leaving as time passes.

James Wyatt

We will find other players who will want to play for Nebraska and all the new coaches! GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!!!

Michael Graham

None of them will end up trading up.

Larry Smith

In the spring the head coach and assistants will start their work. They, in effect, will ride the horse upon which they came, the players on the field. It is up to the coaches to either develop those players or to fail. We will see the result in August.

Brian Machan

With the coaching changes, its only prudent for players to re-evaluate their decisions to make sure its best fit for them. If I was a father of a player, i would encourage the re-evaluation process and if they re-commit, Great! Otherwise best of luck to both sides.

Tim Brunswick

Not as of today ( 12/15/22)...But time will tell..Ask us in another 3 weeks...

Gene Baker

I have a lot of confidence in Matt Rhule. And his ability to develop players.

Don Buckingham

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
