they are not panicking hired a great new recruiting coach all good

John Ross Clark

Probably right around #25. The emphasis has changed, but not necessarily the attraction to Lincoln.

James Traut

Toward the bottom of the list... similar to NU's ranking season to season on the field.

No

The fact that there have been 2 recent decomittments is seriously worrisome.

Barely cracking the Top 25 is just plain sad. How can we expect to beat the big boys if we can't recruit with the big boys? Gotta hire a big-name coach who 4 and 5-star recruits will come to Lincoln to play for.

Virginia Workman

when you go on natiional TV and get blowen out twice what do you expect. Losing is one thing but wow we got demolished......what kid wants to play for a team like that. Our coaches are not with the program and that is it

Alan J Farrell

starting to decommit already

Isaiah Skrdla

I just don't see any momentum building right now and I can't bring myself to believe Nebraska is going to land many if any of the big names people keep talking about. Plus the huskers have lost more commitments than they have gained in the last 4 months.

Just can't see it with these recommitments, and who is really left out there.

Jake Kalina

Cant hit on the kids we need. Some initial push that was very encouraging has turned into some defections and no commits in 3 months. Not doing any better than Pelini despite the more positive image for the University.

Tom Abdouch

All this hype over this new coach,is just that hype.

Sean Fluharty

Yep, the media hyped up this class like it was something special, when in reality it's no better than Bo's classes - just not good enough.

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.
