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.

NU needs a freshman to have a big time impact. Hopefully this is the one.

I've given up any hope of anyone being an impact player until they prove they can actually perform. Too many "BUSTS", including the team, overall.

Having watched him several times now, he needs to develop physically, and even more importantly, must focus on the mental game. He has too many lapses at the high school level. That will be magnified in the B1G

The only recent freshman I thought would be an impact player was Raiola. Barney was a pleasant surprise.

Why not... at least we can hope during the off-season. We are Nebraskans after all.

Next season would be the season to do it. Pretty good set up schedule wise and we SHOULD have the talent to make it happen.

1. look at MR history. 2. Look at how MR's aggressiveness at improving coaching and roster. 3. the team has been learning how to win and we are positioned for a break through. 4. Dylan Raiola!!!

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.
