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.

Isaiah Skrdla

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.

Ron Ames

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.

Andrew Graham

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.

Greg Buxton

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!

John Demma

Treatment of Osborne and lack of football success

Jim Kohout

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

Eric Nuss

There are no excuses or reasons- only priorities.

Jim Hanemaayer

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.

Jerry Williams

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.

Visitor

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

Greg Moore

He set football back 30 years.

Stephen Johnson

To many poor choices in coaches and asst. Coaches. Mostly Callahan

Meredith Stegman

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

Visitor

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

Brian

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.

LARRY BAUMANN

Supporting that clown AD and diseased parasite Riley

Jared Phillips

......no comments are necessary

Larry Warren

Didn't hire Scott Frost to replace Bo.

Ben Hornig

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.

Given the Huskers’ difficult 2026 football schedule, is it realistic to think 8 wins are possible?

Wade Williams

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

Double D

8 wins.. Lol. We'll be lucky to get half of that. Do you know who our coach is?

Scott Ferguson

Schedule is not favorable at all.

Wade Williams

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Christopher O'Brien

6 wins

Robert Lloyd

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

AK-460Mag Nurse

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

Edward Payne

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Andy Redick

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

Nebraska Right to Life

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.

Does Anthony Colandrea’s skill set change how Nebraska can design its offense?

Linda Ogren

YES have QB option run pass

Robert Lloyd

He seems more than just a mobile QB, he plays with abandon and spunk. Why wasn't he here right out of high school? But how could we have lost Ekeler? Have we turned into the dumbest program in America?

Ruthie Patterson

Mobile QB

Michael Gross

Running quarterback opens ton on new plays.

Scott Ferguson

Mobility is a good thing to have. Opens up a few things.

John Haller

It better or Holgorsen will need to be the next firing

Joe Hegarty

I sure hope so.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.

You would HOPE it does but I’ve got zero faith they’ll utilize him the right way
