It needed to be done. Changes like this often is the kick teams need to unite around

Scott threw a pass with 4 minutes to go in the game when the offense was running the ball on a warn down and very tired defense. It got us to the one yard line too soon in the game. We could have drained the clock and ran the ball. Game management was the main reason we kept losing close games.

If anyone other than TA had been hired as the AD, Frost wouldn't even have been here for the first 3 games. TA did the right thing at that time imo, under the circumstances. He again has done the right thing under these new circumstances. I like MJ a lot, great recruiter and loves NU....GBR!!!!

The players didn't need 3 more weeks of uncertainty, especially when it was inevitable at this point.

Mickey Joseph is fully engaged, and will ignite this team! I fully expect to see this entire team "molt" their "Frostiness", and transform into a real Husker squad again. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen soon. Go Big Red!

Mickey will bring more positive energy on gameday; and more detail and accountability in practices.

Greatly improved, Frost was unfortunately more of a disease that was slowly killing the team because of a losing culture, lack of energy and excitement and the same old talk in the press conferences because of the same ole issues.

Ever been in a relationship you needed to end because it was just time....except it was past time? You didn't hate this person, still cared for them, but you knew you had to end it sooner or later, kept putting it off.....and when you finally did, it was like you were flying through the air...

We can now move on now that Frost is gone. There is no more noise about it. The players can now focus on playing a game. A new voice means new rejuvenation!

The atmosphere around the program was "dead man walking". That sucks the motivation. This will reignite drive.

Somebody has to jolt the defense to play better. Perhaps it's a hopeless cause in the moment. We'll find out on Saturday.

Defensive Coordinator shoulda been fired b4 Frost, defense is a complete embarrassment and OU will hang 60 on these guys and these transfers aren’t very impressive. They should be stripped of there blackshirts, wearing a blackshirt used to be an honor, now it’s like every kid gets a trophy, pathetic

Creates short term instability and uncertainty within the ranks. Undermines confidence in players and staff to beat a tough opponent days away.

The Problem is the defense. Our offense has proving ability to score, our special teams has improved, however our defense continues to be horrific. The wrong man was fired. Chins needs to go

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.

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....

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I would move Sims to receiver, use his skills there. Haarberg looks to be a good fit at QB and will get better with more reps.

I say the fine wasn't big enough. $100K is barely a slap on the wrist for Mizzou (or any college) sports. If the SEC really cared about this sort of thing, fine the school $100K for every individual on the field. Then make the fine due the day after with $100K for every day the fine is late.

Remember this fine next time you call MoDOT to complain about a crumbling road or a pothole or a stoplight that doesn’t work and the UM engineering school grad who answers the phone tells you the state has no money in the budget to fix that crap. UM grads need to have their paychecks docked for this
