He should have been fired not only because of the football teams atrocious showings but for how awful he has done to the volleyball, baseball, wrestling and most every other part of the Nebraska programs

Ryan Morrow

brought in a mediocre coach at best, and told us he was coming in to win NOW! Without even doing any kind of search! Then gave us a losing season! Not to mention being a Pearlman holdover who helped in bringing down Husker Football, just like his predecessor Pederson, was time for him to go!

Todd Meedel

Never like Eichorst from the start, then he fired Bo, and I was done with him, glad to see him go...

Mike Conyers

It starts at the top.

Dan Cubrich

This is great news because he had no business not trying to lure a coach who has had great success before.

Jeff Hoenshell

Not impressed with his hire for FB. Also Pearlman influence!! Bad!

T David Andrew M

Long over due, since about 2 seconds after he decided to replace a 9 win coach with a coach that is hardly over .500.

X_Herbie

You do realize Riley is a 9 win coach as well, right? Or have you just come out from under your rock?

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Danny Purcell

taking full advantage of college rules

Ron Graf

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

Tom Cullinan

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

Richard Johnson

No interest in 7-on-7.

Dan Larsen

Live in Dayton, Ohio! 800 miles one-way.... but I am a season ticket holder. See you during the season.

Ryan Goecke

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Dave Kapke

I live in Colorado

Kent Haynes

I can see both sides. But it is losing a tradition.

Bruce Craig

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

Robert Lloyd

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
