Rich Leffler

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?

Given the Huskers’ difficult 2026 football schedule, is it realistic to think 8 wins are possible?

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

8 wins.. Lol. We'll be lucky to get half of that. Do you know who our coach is?

Scott Ferguson

Schedule is not favorable at all.

Wade Williams

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Kelly Smith

The progress compared to the other BIG 10 teams is minimal.

Christopher O'Brien

6 wins

Robert Lloyd

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

AK-460Mag Nurse

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

Edward Payne

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Andy Redick

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

Nebraska Right to Life

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.

Does Anthony Colandrea’s skill set change how Nebraska can design its offense?

YES have QB option run pass

Robert Lloyd

He seems more than just a mobile QB, he plays with abandon and spunk. Why wasn't he here right out of high school? But how could we have lost Ekeler? Have we turned into the dumbest program in America?

Ruthie Patterson

Mobile QB

Michael Gross

Running quarterback opens ton on new plays.

Scott Ferguson

Mobility is a good thing to have. Opens up a few things.

John Haller

It better or Holgorsen will need to be the next firing

Joe Hegarty

I sure hope so.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.
