Pull yourself together folks...We all thought Bo was the answer. Guess what? He wasn't remotely the answer. Harvey made the tough decision that were necessary. He didn't 't coach. He didn't coach. What he did, was his job. His decision about Riley will pay off.

He was directly involved with firing two 9 win coaches and replacing them with jokes. I'm constantly hearing that Riley will be a success but nobody can come up with measurable proof to that point.

Too much focus on a few incidents instead of overall progress of the University -- academics and enrollment made significant gains. Excellent term.

He is a complete narcissist that has lead to the destruction of Husker football. Good Riddance.

HP was as heavily involved with Athletics as any University Chancellor I can readily remember. Unfortunately, his involvement has stymied the Athletic programs. Please let people with coaching experience run the Athletic office.

10 weeks before "Teflon Harvey" took over the Huskers played for a National Title. Last season NU had its WORST season in over half-a- century. Nothing EVER stuck to Perlman!

Perlman did one good thing....he got Nebraska into the Big Ten. Unfotunately, for him, he will be remembered most for his poor personality.

As perhaps the only member of "Russians for Nebraska" in Moscow (or anywhere in Russia for that matter), I do not like the way he treated Coach/AD Osborne at the end.

Because he always seemed rather aloof. Have not seen any great academic accomplishment from Nebraska since he has been there and did not seem a big supporter of agricultural program.

He made some bad hires and watched the department descend into the abyss. A very unlikeable man.

He should have been fired after extending Pedersen's contract. And hiring Pedersen was bad but hiring Eickhorst was worse. Trying to extend Eickhorst sneakily was horrible. He's an idiot

His poor decisions have set back husker sports years if not Decades counting the days until he is gone.

I will remember multiple contract buyouts, a contract extension for Steve Pederson months before he was fired, and overpaying our current AD to come in and find a reason to fire Bo.

The athletic department is still unstable and the academia has taken a step back. A new CBA is great, but you don't become a top school with a good CBA. Science/math/engineering is how you build a top school, and they have been ignored under Perlman's rule.

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
