He'll be too loyal to his staff just like the last two fellas.

Darrel Elgert

They are not getting it done

Dan Cubrich

You've got to be kidding, right? Purdue, a 1-6 team only scored 55 points on Nebraska, if that's not getting it done I don't know what is! LMAO!

Keith Petrie

He should have done it in the first place.

There is ZERO chance Riley changes anyone. One or two might leave of their own volition (doubtful) but no way Riley changes anyone. He doesn't think it's the coaching.

Valerie Gilmore

relationships are not built in a single gathering. let's all take a deep breathe, relax and concentrate on the positives.

Scott Ferguson

We have seen this before, BC hired his buddies and BP it was rumored would not change his final staff. Call it being stubborn or loyal to a fault. MR is not making staff changes with his buddies from OSU.

Mike Leonard

riley does not understand what everybodys so upset about

Virginia Workman

He brought the whole Oregon St group to NU do you really think he will replace any. It is obvious he should and replace his playbook as well. I am wondering if he knows how to call running plays haven't seen that yet. My heart goes out to these kids, the play calling is bad.

Ron Bauer

Not until the Head Coach gets together with ALL coaches and puts together an offensive scheme that fits the players, not the coach or his staff. They have the talent but they just don't have the plays to fit the players. Think Out-side the Box.

H G Keller

I don't think Riley sees anything wrong with what his team is doing. He doesn't see that they aren't using the players talents to the teams advantage. He doesn't see that the plays called are helping the team perform.

Brent Pope

Too soon.

Andy Fields

If he gets another year, so do his assitants

Mitch Humphrey

There is no reason for coaching changes at this time. HCMR was hired to do a job. Let him do it.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

we need an offence

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
