I think it should be 16. Champ from each conference and 5 at large berths.

jerry williams

Moe footbasll always good. It might settle a few more questions.

Kim R. Fandry

it brings out better parity... It lets the none power 5 teams show their power and gives them a chance to prove they are the best. It gives it a Cinderella story effect....

Don Scott

ALABAMA CAN'T EVEN WIN IT'S CONFERENCE BUT GOES TO PLAYOFFS?????

Mas Shara

Although its has drawbacks, most importantly extending the season to 16 games (NFL!) for championship teams, it would assure that no deserving team would be left out solely based on conf. affiliation

Rich Leffler

I really think it should be a 16 team playoff but eight is better than 4 or 6! Put the 2 best teams from every conference and let's see who comes out the winner.

Dave Ronnekamp

I think it needs to be 16 teams like the lower divisions...

Greg Conradt

You will always have a power 5 school left out with current format. 5 conference winners s/b automatic with 3 at large. Pandora's box is open, embrace it.

Kelly Cordes

After watching the NCAA basketball & baseball tourneys, football needs to have an 8-team playoff. Two reasons; so non-power five teams have a chance and (2) there are 5 power conferences, not four.

Brad Bredenkamp

So teams like UCF can’t be left out.

Workplace Stars

Although it would take away games from conferences most want to see a robust competition for a national champion, including other than the power five conferences.

Can't wait for our first 3 loss MNC

Darryl Branting

The move to an 8-team playoff is all about generating more TV money, not about identifying the best team. The present system, for all its faults, is the best balance of revenue and quality.

Mike McCord

Four is enough. If 8, why not 16, or for that matter 32? Regardless of the number, those left out will say they were robbed.

John Mcvay

to many games for the players and no guarantee the process would be better than it is now

Doug Dewitz

As a lifelong cornhusker fan, I believe this is just the person to put things back together that were so messed up by the firing of Frankie Solich.

David Cassiday

Anyone who can lead Temple to two 10-win seasons knows what he's doing.

Thomas Wright

His resume for developing kids coming in that are more the 3 star kids as it’s rare Nebraska can real in the 4 & especially 5 star kids … he’s proven he can develop those kids into stars that are being drafted into the NFL … something that only Dr Tom could seem to do in the past !

Wade Williams

What's happened to the American education system? You keep things "real" whereas you "reel" in players. Come on man!

David Rohweder

will develope players

Cameron Snell

Matt is a great human being, and great leader of men. Highly regarded in the college circles and also in the state of Texas!!

Lisa Whisenhunt

He's had success as a college coach and has coached on both sides of the ball. So far, he seems to respect Nebraska football and the fans.

USMC Sully

experienced head coach, with proven rebuilding efforts

James Wyatt

GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!

Wade Williams

When it comes to coaching hires, there's no such thing as a "sure thing" or a guarantee of success (see Scott Frost). I think TA did a great job of executing a diligent and thorough nationwide search that resulted in a very good hire. One that gives Nebraska a great chance to turn it around quickly!

Bob Colbert

He mentioned "offensive line"

hm dude

he builds programs...........

John Fillmore

After celebrating the Scott Frost hire a few years ago I've learned to tread carefully about declaring who I think will be a great coach for the Huskers, but the evidence of his past work certainly looks promising.

Bruce Neel

He has done a very good job in the past with our kind of program so I hope he can do it again

Jayme Henderson

He would be good hire for 90% of programs in CFB. 90% of programs are better than nebraska right now, we need to be realistic about where we are as a program.

Dan Stephens

We need a guy that can turn us around and I believe he is that guy.

William Snesrud

High quality college coach....feel he will consider keeping a few current coaches with strong ties to roster and recruiting players (example - Joseph, Busch, Fisher)......Huskers Rhule.....GO BIG RED!!

Pokey

Come on, the options were all maybe mediocre at best coaches. Would all be in over their heads in Big 10 just like Frost. KU coach and staff, KSU coach and staff, ISU coach and staff, NCST coach and staff, Army coach and staff, Bronco M and his VA staff? No thank you. Choice was a no brainer.

Roy Lindfield

Proven program builder. His teams (ie Temple and Baylor) were know as punch you in the mouth type of teams. Nebraska will Rhule.

Thomas Wright

Love it ! Nebraska will Rhule !!

Just another attempt by wealthy alums to buy a championship. Mickey had heart of team. Smart of Rhule to get 8yr contract. In yr 3 when alums want him gone he'll join list of coaches on payout payroll.

Josh McCloud

Mickey. Needed him.

Matt Seiler

On the fence about him still. The fact he didn’t say Go Big Red at the end of his interview and turned down the job once talked me onto this side

Jaghy Benson

Take it from a Panthers fan this guy is a con man. He’ll be fired within 3 years!!

Wade Williams

NFL success or lack thereof, means squat. Absolutely irrelevant! By your criteria, Nick Saban would have to be considered a fraud for that joke of a stint he served as the Dolphins head coach. Give me a break!

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

Worried we are going to lose Mickey, Busch and all the recruits that love Mickey.

Danny Baker

No, Mickey earned and has skin in the game. Matt will probably bolt in a couple of years.

Craig W

Washout from the NFL that reported had to be persuaded a 2nd time to take the job. Previous record against ranked teams is zero wins. Runs an spread offense with more focus on the pass than the run, might not work in the B10. Baylor was not a rebuild. He did nothing with them the 1st 2 years.

Wade Williams

Baylor was not a rebuild???? You're crazy!

Ruthie Patterson

Mickey Should Have Had A One Year Chance

K De Backer

Three years and he's gone....if you look at his history.

Troay Strong

Skeptical, never stayed long enough to measure if his programs were built to last. Bailed from each HC job after having his best year. Almost as if he doubted he could maintain the success.

Wade Williams

I live in Jackson, MS and believe me, anyone who can do what he's done at an HBCU school like Jackson St can flat out coach and he talked the #1 overall recruit in the country into signing with them! Not to mention several other highly ranked recruits. Yes, he could get it done! JSU SUCKED B4 DEION!

Doug Broderick Jr.

The silver sluggers would never allow this. But I think hed be a breath of fresh air, but could be a PR nightmare for TA.

james bond

he will bring the energy we need to rebound the program. but like any program one coach don't do it alone need great assistants.

James Wyatt

I just feel Deion Sanders can recruit the 4&5 star recruits that will make Nebraska competitive! GBR

Charlie Knapper

Prime is the only coach out there capable of being able to handle the fish bowl that is Nebraska Football

Matt Seiler

Prime time would bring prime recruits and a winner’s attitude

Bill Reno Reida

No! He's more concerned about himself than anyting NU.

levi.goin85@gmail.com

His look at me narcissist style is not a fit for the state or the university...and he is not proven at the power 5 level.

Larry Smith

No, Deion would not be a good fit. Too much flash, not enough head coaching experience. That said, he has done a great job where he is.

Jeff Brown

He was a flamboyant player but he has no Power 5 coaching experience. Not a Nebraska culture kinda guy.

Brad Hill

cares more about Prime than the team.

Robert Lloyd

He is not qualified nor does he have leadership qualities. What a joke of a question to even have here. Let's get serious.

Vincent M Mankowski

Our largest challenge is someone who can not only bring in 4 and 5 star recruits, but to adapt them to the CULTURE at Nebraska and bring out the best of them within that culture. Deion Sanders is not a part of Nebraska Cornhusker culture and cannot bring that to players.

Robert Ebers

Promising, yet no experience as HC in the Power 5.

Richard Johnson

Nebraska MUST get this hire right. They simply cannot afford the risk of a coach with no power 5 coaching/recruiting experience. The stakes are to high to gamble.

Paul Billesbach

No matter the hype and potential, I want a qualified experienced HC who's exemplified those traits that we so desperately need. Deion could be that guy in a few years but I don't want to take the chance at this point that he's not.
