Ron Brown...........that's it. Everyone else needs to go. I feel that Ron is essential to out program as he knows our program and tradition better than any other coach. It's important to keep someone around that knows about our tradition and history. Ron is also just a great person to have around maturing adults.

Coach Kaz and Coach Warren are proven as Position Coaches with their Units doing well, and especially Warren can Recruit.

With such turmoil caused by Pelini and his attitude and anti-social behavior, I think a clean start for everyone might be best.

Time for some "new blood". A few of them may be worthy of keeping around but I feel at the very most make it 1 or 2. I'm still waiting for a splash coordinator hire (not looking like it is going to happen).

Warren, Fisher, Brown & Kazz. These are the best of Bo'so crew. They will help with the continued quality of play and a smooth transition for this incoming recruits. This a very good incoming class.

I think that Coach Riley should keep Ron Brown. He provides the link to the past and produces good players and better men. I also feel that Charlton Warren is a good coach and a great recruiter. Finally Rick Kaczenski should stay given the work he has done with the defensive line and the fact that he will bring the twins in from Missouri.

Brown - Look at the development in the players he has coached. Great recruiter. Also good ties to the traditions of the past. Kaz - Has consistently been the best part of the defense since he has been hear. Great recruiter. Players love playing for him. Warren - Great recruiter, good development of Davie and Gerry over the past year. Fischer - Despite the heavy losses at WR due to injury the past two years, this group has been solid. Look at their downfield blocking. Players love the guy. Great recruiter. All in all, keeping the four best recruiters from the previous staff, and some really good coaches. I have a hard time believing we can see that great of upgrades from what we already have (which is pretty good).

Or three best units have been our running backs, D-line, and secondary (just look at Gerry's development). Keep Ron, Kaz, and Warren. Obivously, Warren has already been decided.

We have three excellent coaches on the existing staff that aren't necessarily Pelini guys; Coach Brown, Coach Warren and Coach Katz. Retaining these three and bring in powerhouse O & D Coordinators

The relationships with the players is important. The pass defense has been exceptional. We should not lose that.

Brown Definitely! Warren...Kazinski... Fisher...Garrison...Dobson. At least the first 4. I don't think you have a choice like on Jeff Jamrog since he's an assistant AD and what do you do with Grad assistants? Joe Ganz is a GA. But we've got some resources for Riley right there on the Remaining Staff.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
