Are the stories of T A being difficult to coach, ignored his coaches and has a tendency to improvise just rumor? I do not think his throwing off his back foot, or throwing into triple coverage or not seeing the open receiver but always going for the home run are 100% coaching problems He has poor fundamentals, telegraphs most of his passes, struggles to count down his receivers, fails to have a good feel for location of DBs and makes way too many poor decisions

Shades of Tim Tebow Barring early season injuries, the Huskers will have one of best receiver corps in the Big 10 and maybe as good as any in SEC or anywhere T A is not the QB to capitalize on this asset, regardless of his passion and commitment.

Definitely not.. The team probably needs another 3 weeks of practice and recruiting always assisted by a bowl appearance, however, a bowl appearance is a reward for a good season. This team did not have a good season and undeserving of a bowl appearance. There will be many that disagree with me and that is OK. It may be a generation issue. I talked with several long term season ticket holders/ donors after the game last night and all have said we should not accept a bowl invitation. Younger fans that did not experience the Huskers in the era from 1970 to 1997 probably do not agree

It appears the weather will favor a running game vs passing. This is to the Husker advantage as our run D is much better than our pass D. A major concern will be if our OL can release from initial block and get to that second tier block. Iowa has excellent LBs

I am a die hard, long, long time Husker fan. Before getting too arrogant and making fun of Iowa, I think we should ask which team is 10-0 and ranked 3rd in the nation and which team is not even bowl eligible and lost to Purdue and Illinois Regardless of the outcome of the game on Friday, Iowa has had the far superior season

I am not sure we can beat Iowa. They are a good team. I think we have the capability of giving them a very good game unless the off field incidents cause the team to lose focus

If this assessment is true, it does not speak well for our current coachs. I know we have had an inordinate amount of injuries. I do not know if it is lack of talent, poor player development, injuries, or just sub par coaching but I do know this program is currently in shambles. You have to go back to the Jennings era to match this disaster.

At Virginia Tech, did Beamer get fired or announce early retirement? His time at V T was one of the longest of active coaches

I think it is unrealistic to expect the AD to fire Riley after one season. Eichorst would have to be fired first. I do not believe if Riley were to be fired after one year that it would paint the Husker program as toxic or keep really good coaches at bay. A really good coach demands a compensation package in the $5 mill range. We would have to decide if we want to spend that kind of money. If we did, we could find a coach, regardless of how long M R lasts. On a closing note, the Miami Hurricanes just fired their coach.. Golden.. He was an Eichorst hire I think

But in "Good Will Hunting," wasn't the janitor really good at complex math equations? Or maybe I'm just missing your point. My thought too. I think Eichorst needs to go before Riley, that's for sure. He can't be allowed to hire another coach. Frankly, I don't think he can be left in a position where he's asked to fairly evaluate his own coach. That's why he needs to go. I don't agree with those who say a new AD is a guarantee that a coach will be fired. Countless examples run counter to that claim, and if we get the right guy (i.e., not an ego manic or a lap dog to Perlman, who personally disliked Bo), then we can move forward in an intelligent way. I remember when TO gave Callahan a set of very achievable benchmarks to save his job. He failed and he was fired, but I sincerely believe that if he'd fulfilled the requirements, TO would have retained him. I don't believe that about guys like Perlman, Eichorst and Pederson; they are snakes in the grass who make a determination and then hope that results break in their favor so they are justified in retrospect. But regardless of results, they are going to carry out their agenda. Leadership matters, and NU football is struggling as a direct result of awful administrative leadership.

We obviously have a difference of opinion and it is equally obvious you consider yours as the correct one I know Eichorst detested Pelini. He did not like his attitude, his demeanor nor his persona. A slap at Pelini was neither the sole or main criteria in the selection process. Eichorst wanted a coach that was everything Pelini was not... Smooth, approachable, likeable and controllable.. He equally wanted someone that was not what Pelini was, crude, vulgar, defensive and struggling with anger management issues. The ability to coach, to win was secondary.

Please tell me how taking a slap at Pelini is SE's job. This is the dumbest thing I've heard in my entire life. And I once heard someone say they liked Crystal Pepsi.
