Tougher because the thoughtless press has created turmoil. Something nobody wants to get involved in. The press has also succeeded in giving UN a black eye as they prostituted themselves to release a worthless piece of garbage story that was suppose to be confidential regardless of what was said. I say find the perps. if it was a player expose him. If it was a bug, prosecute.

It was an intentional act by Bo... and probably effective. An act to undermine the new coach, to cause uncertainty among players and 2015 recruits, and to indirectly give a "black eye" to NU.

Why can't the press just leave these secret recordings alone. Only cowards do don't admit they recorded something. It was a private meeting and should have stayed that way. The press are as worthless as politicians if we flushed them down the toilet nobody would miss either one of them. Let it die and move on end of story. Now this is going on just get behind Coach Riley and forget about the decision is made. You might not like Bo but he did settle things down after the last time. Did you forget that former NFL coach that lead us to 2 seasons with no bowls and a losing record twice.

All he has to do is be genuine with his players and the people who love NU Football. Be himself and the players who earn respect with in turn be respected

The more you know, the better you can address the issue. Riley has the info to help him recognize and understand player resistance that may arise.

Nobody ever said the Brothers were a class act. But I expected a little more. Already being admonished in the new job! CLASSY

Proves SE knew what he was doing and was classy about the reasons. That bodes well for working with him and shows Riley is a good fit for SE.

People will like his demeanor and the fact that the focus will be on what happens on the field of play, not the sideline or the opinion pages. He still has to win though.

Lets not judge. Evidence produced does paint Pellini as being rough and disrespectful. Face it the NCAA football family now knows more and he placed himself in a precarious situation within his career. As Huskers we are taught to forget the past, handle the present and prepare for the future. Riley is preparing for the future and we as fans need to support our kids in the present against USC. Challenge goes out to the entire Husker Nation, lets make the Holiday Bowl bleed RED in show of support for our kids.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
