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?

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
