Jeremy Starr

Because He is excited to be here, He Knows the Challenges and expectations but doesn't shy away from it, He Kicked ass at Tulane,,,, if you can kick ass there, Nebraska should be even better with all the resources and support. I anticipate he will do great things.,

Steven Benscoter

because our AD. GBR

Nick Hornig

Because I watched his interview with Jessical Coody, and he seems pretty motivated about future changes in college sports

Steve “S85” T

He knows and understands Nebraska. He talked to Dr.Tom Osborne, absolutely loves Rhule and his staff. He truly believes in the Huskers.

Thomas Wright

Trev WHO ?

Sam Thierstein

Because he wants to come home. Trev left home.

Steve Blad

If Rhule likes him, I'm in.

Loren Zimmerman

I think he equal to Trev Alberts. Unlike previous ADs, like Alberts, he's a 'local' guy.

Visitor

Hard to really know for sure at this point in time. Let's see how things are going a year or two from now.

Bud Chapin

Very Experienced and people leader!

Gary Schneider

He did an awesome job bringing Tulane back to winning ways by hiring Coach Fritz!! He will fit in at Nebraska very nicely!!

Robert Lloyd

If he is committed yes, but these 'elites' are a problem for decent society. They sell us down the river every time it seems. Trev owed us more explanation than we got. May A&M lose every game.

Jeremy Starr

Keith Maloney

Maybe he can pull the knife out of our backs that Trev stuck in? He has forever ruined his Nebraska legacy by bailing on us! He was looking to move up probably before he took the AD job. So yes I'm excited.

Jeff Barker

He hasn't ruined his legacy.

Russell Lloyd

All you have to do is read his background and you can't help but be excited. Strong and football Etc. Home run higher!!

Patrick O'Brien

He seems like a perfect fit and he's really excited to be here.

Kent Haynes

Midwest guy, seems to know Rhule and maybe others. Alberts didn't have our back!

Don't know enough about him to be excited.

Rod Combs (RoddyBoy)

Until I see an AD that sticks around and leads by actions and commitment over words *coughs*....we shall see.

Rick Fern

Really thought Trev was the right fit. Heart breaking

Ron Graf

I'm still mad about TA

Don Schendt

Very quick hire and do not know much about him.

Roy Katskee

His track record doesn't show stability.

Pathetic to try and take away the excitement of something that should be exciting.

Larry Sawatzki

Conference should impose very large fine for a court storming incident. Let the schools worry about what to do.

Michael Hoffart

He needs to start this week for sure. Make it a true competition going into Michigan and set ourselves up to win the most of our BIG10 schedule as possible.

Tim N

Pretty Obvious. Great defense. He's physically crushing people. He's accurate. Takes care of the ball. Motivates team. Everyone is locked into him. I could keep going....

Mark C. Brigham

He is more consistent in his decision making.

Mike Hulinsky

Proven to take better care of football

Bill Lyons

i have eyes and am a sentient being

James Stiver

Seemed to have managed the last game with confidence and should get better as time goes on!

Curtis Graeve

Simple. He doesn't turn it over!

Curtis Graeve

Just a side note. Sims is a great athlete. Teach him the finer points of being a WR and let him run with them! Big Bodied receivers are always great for a QB.

Doug Einsel

He shows better decision making. Bigger in size. Driven to perform. Less turnovers and he has a longer future at NU.

DrHusker66

He needs more time playing this position in game situations. I do think both should play get the rust off of Sims and give him confidence going into Michigan.

John Samson

High ankle sprain versus LA Tech. If Sims is going to be Rhule's guy, he needs to be healthy for Big 10 play. Let Haarberg get the experience while Sims heals.

Robert Lloyd

I love both QBs but must vote for Heinrich as he played lights out and with the so needed clean play protecting the ball. I do believe we can win also with Jeff and our players would have to just follow him looking for the ball coming loose. We can do that too. It's a team.

Ron Staebell

Backup QB is always the most popular player on the team, but in this case it makes sense. He's performed, Sims hasn't

Seth Hyberger

Haarberg is not turnover prone.

David Noe

Great applebee doesn't turn the ball over

Lyle Urbanec

Turnovers

Terry Darnall

He has a quarterback, mentality, poised, and decisive!

Power Glide

Harberg reminds me so much of Brooke Berringer. A journeyman QB

regan zeller

not turning to ball over is VERY important. Although HH had a couple passes that were probably ill advised we were able to come out on top.

John Whiteley

Haarberg has the hot hand now, but won't last long if he continues to take unnecessary hits when running. They'll need both QBs throughout the season.
