Steve Tinnell

he can turn them into a 7-8 win team

Ryan MacKay

He cant do much worse than Beckman

Kurtis Ramsey

The big 10 has some big time coaches. He will be able to recruit, he knows defense. It may take a couple years but they will be a force.

Stephen Douglas

For a defensive guru his Tampa defenses were relatively weak despite the fact the had top notch talent.

Jerry Williams

Good track record and will have a tough defense. Defense rules,

Stephen Douglas

Where does he have a good track record? One great season and one decent season in chicago a decade ago is not a good track record

NFL retread "name" coaches seldom do well in college FB. It's a different game.

Geraldo Boru Brew

He could never beat the Packers!

Stephen Douglas

He has very little enthusiasm for the offensive side of the ball, he tries the old philosophy of keeping the other team below 10 pts and beat them on field goals. He can not win at a high level, especially since he has lost his defensive touch

Any venue is a good venue, we're in a bowl. Remember where it all began? The Gothem Bowl

Doug Ross

I'm going!

Dick Plock

Go to a bowl! Im disappointed in 6 & 6 record. 8 & 6 should have been! My opinion. Love the Huskers!

this is the worst bowl there is we deseve cause little rhule wont get rid of his buddies foley was forced to get rid of Mcguire and Sattersuck we lost at least three game ayear because of these schmucks

Chad Alexander

It's a baseball stadium plus New York sucks!

Bob Healey

No! I was going to Phoenix! Playing in the cold in a baseball stadium. NU got the worst bowl. Don't ride the subways.

Bill Scheef

Baseball stadiums are NOT conducive to FB games...sight lines and angles to the field are designed for baseball and not FB. Will save the $3 to $4,000 dollars and watch it 10 feet from my icebox, and bathroom...Plus, who knows what type of Husker team will we be seeing...Too many nopes for me.

Loren Zimmerman

New York City? Crime ridden, money hungry locals; no way.

Robert Lloyd

No one should risk their life for a football game in hell's pit.

Doug Einsel

And it NYC

Gary Wall

We live in Southern California, toooo cold for us--watch on TV

Bruce Jakubowski

Cold weather bowl. This sucks. Reminds me of the "Gotham" bowl...

Bob Healey

Yeah, but it's time to use him. No moire Secrets!

David Dahlkoetter

Very good athlete. Won't make a ton of plays, but can be a serious threat catching the football.

Rich Hovorka

specially designed plays

Loren Zimmerman

He's an athlete, and a good one. He's to valuable to be sitting on the sidelines. He needs to be part of the rotation.

Robert Lloyd

It just seems he isn't a true QB and maybe this (TE) is where he should have been all along. And now with several leaving the position this could be perfect. Nothing is "hidden" these days.

Visitor

Double H is the best athlete on the field.

Scott Ferguson

He needs a lot of time learning how to run behind his pads. If he does not learn that, he is going to get hurt. He also does not come across as a real fluid athlete. Strong and fast for sure but really do not see much flexibility and vision as a runner.

Mike O

This works if Rhule gets a great qb in the portal. Kaelin didn't play a down even though he could have played in four games. And now he's gone. One blindside sack and Raiola is down for the count and Haaberg is back at qb. I do give Haaarberg an extra A for effort as always.
