Didn't recruit nada d lineman , didn't do interviews , couldn't keep 2 guys from going to the league .

Matthew James Rowling

He smelled like sausagel Just like J C! Grant st he stinks! Gayson!

Visitor

He struggled in recruiting and the D line's performance was pathetic on getting pressure on the quarterbacks that they played against this year and The players did not buy into his coaching Philosophy

Jeff Nelson

Could not close on D line recruits

Rich Stricklett

When you don't recruit any D lineman you reap what you sow.

Nate Zirbel

Bc if you can't recruit you can't help the team out so I get it had his chance and missed 4 DL If I remember right

Jeremy Kendall

Got some inside info.

Kevin Hamilton

Sure you did!

We were top 10 against the run. It wasn't obvious until the very end that he was failing on the Recruiting Trail. so if anyone says they saw it coming, they're full of it.

Kenneth. D. Magruder

No reason to believe otherwise

Travis French

All about recruiting

HALLA

Glad it happened but had no clue Riley would fire a buddy of Banker. Thats a good sign for the future

Shane Andersen

never heard of the guy till he was fired, but glad he is gone. Seems like he wasn't earning his $300,000 salary

Thomas Foster

I was clueless.

Alan Blackburn

It's nice to see MR evolve if you're not getting the job done.

Robert Dodd

no i did not. get Perrella in here and we wont have any worries!

Kevin P. Miller

Not saying I'm surprised... But, I just didn't realize there was any problem there. But, once I started looking at the information that is "out there", I can see why they might be wanting to make a change.

Jerry Williams

I thought because of stopping the rush all was alright, but who am I to know.

Arlie Rauch

What should I have seen it coming?

Kevin Hamilton

I am not privy to any inside information and I don't speculate on how well anyone is doing as a result. In other words I don't pretend to know what I don't know to feel like a big shot lol! It does look like a good move after the facts that were released came out.

Gearld Wolff

Pass rush is but one part of DL play. They stopped the run effectively and contained most scrambles. The blitz packages or lack thereof fall on Banker, not Hughes.

Stephen Johnson

Because he was not the weak point in the pass defense.

Any venue is a good venue, we're in a bowl. Remember where it all began? The Gothem Bowl

Doug Ross

Dick Plock

this is the worst bowl there is we deseve cause little rhule wont get rid of his buddies foley was forced to get rid of Mcguire and Sattersuck we lost at least three game ayear because of these schmucks

Chad Alexander

It's a baseball stadium plus New York sucks!

Bob Healey

No! I was going to Phoenix! Playing in the cold in a baseball stadium. NU got the worst bowl. Don't ride the subways.

Bill Scheef

Baseball stadiums are NOT conducive to FB games...sight lines and angles to the field are designed for baseball and not FB. Will save the $3 to $4,000 dollars and watch it 10 feet from my icebox, and bathroom...Plus, who knows what type of Husker team will we be seeing...Too many nopes for me.

Loren Zimmerman

New York City? Crime ridden, money hungry locals; no way.

Robert Lloyd

No one should risk their life for a football game in hell's pit.

Doug Einsel

And it NYC

Gary Wall

We live in Southern California, toooo cold for us--watch on TV

Bruce Jakubowski

Cold weather bowl. This sucks. Reminds me of the "Gotham" bowl...

Bob Healey

Yeah, but it's time to use him. No moire Secrets!

David Dahlkoetter

Very good athlete. Won't make a ton of plays, but can be a serious threat catching the football.

Rich Hovorka

specially designed plays

Loren Zimmerman

He's an athlete, and a good one. He's to valuable to be sitting on the sidelines. He needs to be part of the rotation.

Robert Lloyd

It just seems he isn't a true QB and maybe this (TE) is where he should have been all along. And now with several leaving the position this could be perfect. Nothing is "hidden" these days.

Visitor

Double H is the best athlete on the field.

He needs a lot of time learning how to run behind his pads. If he does not learn that, he is going to get hurt. He also does not come across as a real fluid athlete. Strong and fast for sure but really do not see much flexibility and vision as a runner.

Mike O

This works if Rhule gets a great qb in the portal. Kaelin didn't play a down even though he could have played in four games. And now he's gone. One blindside sack and Raiola is down for the count and Haaberg is back at qb. I do give Haaarberg an extra A for effort as always.
