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.

Patrick Nelson

Brown he's done a great job

Daniel Revas

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

Alan Blackburn

I like Ron Brown, Charlton Warren, and coach Rich Kazinski. Solid coaches and role models.

Gene Brantz

I would like Warren and Brown retained for sure. Plus the DL coach Kaczenski would be great.

David Foster

Ron Brown only.

Tristan Shacklett

Ron Brown needs to stay. Everyone else needs to go find new homes!

Walter Calkins

I hope he keeps Warren and coach Kaz.

Robert Lloyd

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

KevinG

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).

Billie Mann

I felt at times we were out coached and needed assistants with more of a track record.

El Macho Borracho

1. Warren. That's It. Everyone else was garbage.

Russ Meyer

Warren,Brown, that's it

Brad LeFever

Charlton Warren and Rick Kaczenski that's all I believe are must keep coaches.

Jeremy Greer

Really only two worth keeping

Visitor

Warren and Kac! Others need to go....I could see Brown staying as well. Has the ability to know NU landscape.

Joe Smith

opportunities for some high power coaches

David W Puckett

because we need fresh ideas and improvement

Dan Novak

Brown and Kaz That's it!

Dan Tweedy

Just two. Brown and Fisher. Both have done a fantastic job. I like Barney, too. He just may have bigger fish to fry. Best of luck to him.

Robert Hegler

Warren only

Brown, Warren, Kaz and Fisher

Sean Fluharty

I'd really like to see him keep Kaz, Warren, and Brown.

Chuck Dickinson

D line running back defensive back

Gene Baker

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.

Donovan Ketzler

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.

Matt Krieger

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).

Jared C Sharman

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.

Visitor

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

Brad Bredenkamp

He should retain at least Ron Brown, Charlton Warren, and Coach Kaczinski, whose units were all performing well,.

Tom Duncan

I agree with Peter, Warren, Brown, Kaz and Fisher should all be retained.

Danny Chen

brown, katz and warren

Weston Junker

Ron Brown, Kaz, Warren, Fischer.

Sandman

Katz,Warren, Brown. All key to recruiting, excellent coaches, continuity. I don't think Coach Riley could find 3 better at their positions.

Bob Maynard

Brown, Warren, Fisher and Kaz.

Stephen Johnson

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

Keith Petrie

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.

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances
