Because it shows that the coaches of this team have no clue what they are doing.

Dan Cubrich

Because recruits can see what most Nebraska fans can see, and that is Pelini is really good at yelling, but not coaching.

Wednesday Punk

I don't think it hurts recruiting so much when taken simply as a "loss" as it does kids not wanting to play for this lunatic, and parents agreeing with them.

Visitor

Bo Pelini is not fun to play for in games when he scowls and yells till he is blue in the face. He should be calling plays to win the game and keep calm and so keep players calm.

Sean Fluharty

After watching the Nebraska game vs. Wisconsin, would YOU want to play for Nebraska? Even old Husker players (in the NFL and elsewhere) were saying how embarrassing this week was going to be at work.

Drew

Best players want to play for championships and they sure don't want to be associated with regular embarrassments like this.

Robert Hegler

Not just yes, but HELL YES!

The recruits will see that they might get a chance to play really soon.

Sandman

It won't do near the damage on recruiting that coaching would cause! I think the team could use a visit from Dr. Stark!

Kevin Bolin

Players - especially on the D side will think they can come help right now!!

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
