Goodbye, Coach Yori....

Troy Menke

My concern comes not from the survey itself, but from who was hired to do the survey. Why would you hire a local company, with clear and distinct conflicts of interest, to conduct the survey, instead of using an out of state impartial company? This reeks of a witch hunt.

Danny Baker

Kind of makes me wonder why. I like coach Riley and since he was hired by the AD, I do not want to see the AD get fired. I think this could hurt the football program.

Daniel Revas

After the debacle at his previous School, Ole Miss, which is fighting NCAA problems throughout their Athletic Program, our new President doesn't seen to know what to look for anyway. Is this BECAUSE he blew it at Ole Miss? Will he be determined to find something?

Standard Procedure

This totally innocent standard operating procedure. "I’ve done this before. And this won’t be the last one I do." says President Bounds.

Enough of the over reaction by the media fueled speculation. Shawn is a GREAT AD and we're lucky to have him and Mike Riley and staff.

The new UNL President just guaging the temperature of his academic departments. This is what I would do when taking the reigns of a new organization.

Jerry Williams

It would seem to be a god idea to get a base line.

Valerie Gilmore

you would think that any, and all big money making businesses take a look at their house to keep it in order. what can we do here to make it better, what we do there to make it better, i think it's just SOP!

Ryan Jensen

Businesses (and the military) do this all the time. New guy in charge shows up, he does a survey/review to figure out what things are like. Not saying something "bad" couldn't come of it, but definitely standard procedure.

It can be a good thing. But it depends on the criteria. What is the goal? Who sets the standards?

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.

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.
