Probably hiring Pederson was the biggest mistake.

Bo Pelini lit a fire under the defense in his first year as DC. Nebraska would have been awesome the next year. I would have loved to have seen that.

We don't know what would have happened, but it could not have been any worse. We have been foundering since his firing. Scott Frost has a big job in pulling us out of the muck. He'll get it done.

Frank knows Nebraska football inside and out Peterson was an idiot and should’ve kept Frank. Peterson never should have been hired at Nebraska He was a total and complete idiot

Firing Frank got us away from our roots and our identity. O & D schemes change but an identity shouldn't. SF is trying to bring it back now after all these years.

Pederson was one of two arrogant Husker ADs trying to make a name for himself. Moral: Don't fire 9 win coaches.

Callahan dismantled everything that made Nebraska, Nebraska. And almost 20 years later, we are just starting to get back what was lost...

HIRING Solich was the big mistake. He was over-matched. IMO, Tom Osborne shares a lot of blame for forcing Solich on the AD rather than having a national search. In 1997, NU could have had their pick of outstanding HC's. Now look at us.

It was bad... but not as bad as hiring Callahan. I dont know if Solich would have ever gotten over the hump... but Callahan sure as hell wasnt.

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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