I know him the best, and he left an impressive record on and off the field over a long period which included a variety adversities. Perhaps at a later date I would answer "Scott Frost."

I confess I wasn't thrilled in the first few years after he took over from the Bobfather, but he continued to improve and demonstrated that he could both build character and win the big game.

This isnt even a question, not taking anything from Bob, but Tom was calling plays when he won his 2 championships . And the 25 years of head coaching with at min of 9 wins is something that just don

No comparison-with what he has done not only on the field but for the whole state of Nebraska-and done it all with integrity and class.

Why isn't Riley a stand alone option.... That is hard to say with a straight face. Also, Osborne over Devaney because I didn't exist when Devaney coached.

Devany got it started but Tom persevered and keep it going for 25 years. Built it and maintained it in a changing game environment and style.

Devany Is the one who turned a pathetic football program into a champion chip program. Osborne inherited a championship football program.

There would not be a coach Osborne at Nebraska if not for Bob Devaney. He had the foresight to take over as Athletic Director and make sure Tom Osborne had a chance to grow into the coach he became.

Devaney took a losing program and left it in the hands of an excellent head coach. Enough sais.

Bob started it all, hired Tom and got it all rolling.

Bob Devaney started and Tom Osborne continued Bob's legacy. Tom learned from Bob, not vice versa.

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.
