Pull yourself together folks...We all thought Bo was the answer. Guess what? He wasn't remotely the answer. Harvey made the tough decision that were necessary. He didn't 't coach. He didn't coach. What he did, was his job. His decision about Riley will pay off.

He was directly involved with firing two 9 win coaches and replacing them with jokes. I'm constantly hearing that Riley will be a success but nobody can come up with measurable proof to that point.

Too much focus on a few incidents instead of overall progress of the University -- academics and enrollment made significant gains. Excellent term.

He is a complete narcissist that has lead to the destruction of Husker football. Good Riddance.

HP was as heavily involved with Athletics as any University Chancellor I can readily remember. Unfortunately, his involvement has stymied the Athletic programs. Please let people with coaching experience run the Athletic office.

10 weeks before "Teflon Harvey" took over the Huskers played for a National Title. Last season NU had its WORST season in over half-a- century. Nothing EVER stuck to Perlman!

Perlman did one good thing....he got Nebraska into the Big Ten. Unfotunately, for him, he will be remembered most for his poor personality.

As perhaps the only member of "Russians for Nebraska" in Moscow (or anywhere in Russia for that matter), I do not like the way he treated Coach/AD Osborne at the end.

Because he always seemed rather aloof. Have not seen any great academic accomplishment from Nebraska since he has been there and did not seem a big supporter of agricultural program.

He made some bad hires and watched the department descend into the abyss. A very unlikeable man.

He should have been fired after extending Pedersen's contract. And hiring Pedersen was bad but hiring Eickhorst was worse. Trying to extend Eickhorst sneakily was horrible. He's an idiot

His poor decisions have set back husker sports years if not Decades counting the days until he is gone.

I will remember multiple contract buyouts, a contract extension for Steve Pederson months before he was fired, and overpaying our current AD to come in and find a reason to fire Bo.

The athletic department is still unstable and the academia has taken a step back. A new CBA is great, but you don't become a top school with a good CBA. Science/math/engineering is how you build a top school, and they have been ignored under Perlman's rule.

My concern comes not from the survey itself, but from who was hired to do the survey. Why would you hire a local company, with clear and distinct conflicts of interest, to conduct the survey, instead of using an out of state impartial company? This reeks of a witch hunt.

Kind of makes me wonder why. I like coach Riley and since he was hired by the AD, I do not want to see the AD get fired. I think this could hurt the football program.

After the debacle at his previous School, Ole Miss, which is fighting NCAA problems throughout their Athletic Program, our new President doesn't seen to know what to look for anyway. Is this BECAUSE he blew it at Ole Miss? Will he be determined to find something?

Enough of the over reaction by the media fueled speculation. Shawn is a GREAT AD and we're lucky to have him and Mike Riley and staff.

Businesses (and the military) do this all the time. New guy in charge shows up, he does a survey/review to figure out what things are like. Not saying something "bad" couldn't come of it, but definitely standard procedure.

It can be a good thing. But it depends on the criteria. What is the goal? Who sets the standards?
