Its been 6 hrs since the end of the game and Eichorst has not been fired yet. WTF is going on. This is unacceptable to wait this long. This should have been announced within an hour of the end of the game. We need to hold the administration accountable

we might be the worst team in college fb right now. We r not getting better we r getting worse

I heard that Purdue QB has a hot gf. That is probably what lost the game for us to be honest.

Dear Shawn Eichorst,
Your services will no longer be needed at the University of Nebraska. Please clean out your desk, and security will escort you to your vehicle.

nope out of the question. 4 wins at best at this point.

I think we should strongly consider retiring this kids number for his leadership in our darkest hour.

Resgining wouldnt surprise me. I can see the apathy and lostness with all staff guys except Mark Phillip. I could see it happening. With him having the mindset of "im too old for this sh#t".
Remember. He took the job on a whim without even visiting here. Remember. In bigtime college football, programs almost recruit the coaches. Convince the coaches to come. You can bet most coaches evaluate things like facilities, talent, fans, media, etc. But Riley took it on a whim in a day without even a visit.
I heard OSU was gonna fire him anyways

A walk out would be the most effective thing a fan base could do

There has been success in the past when fans organized a walk out.

Dear God if this program was ever involved in homosexuality please forgive us!!

I think the cornhuskers are in judgement by God himself. Like Sodom and gamorra.

According to the Remsey's index Nebraska just played its worst half of football in its 100 plus year history

um, what?
I'm just saying we shouldn't judge him by the first 8 games, because its apparent not all the players have bought in. It's not his fault either, cause it is something he inherited. We could use more people like Gangwish in the locker room.

After having sometime to digest all of the information that has come out since the game Saturday I have some thought that may alter some of your opinions as it has mine. I have seen the results of Mike Riley this year and yes they are unacceptable. I for the most part feel if you are loosing to many close games it is the coaches fault. Now having time to get all the information that has collected over the season and for me to think about it over the last day its giving me a little more compassion for Riley. I have stated several times this year that Riley should be fired. Its not Riley's schemes that bother me its his philosophy. Lets set all this to the side for a while and lets take a look at what is really obvious.
It appears on the surface that Mike Riley has lost the team. When that happens a coach should be fired immediately. You can't loose the team, cause once you loose the team you can't get it back. You can't have your players quit on you. Its so obvious that at least some of the players have quit on him by looking at photographs alone. When you loose a team players don't play as well, so when it comes down to who wants it more like at the end of games you are at a disadvantage. Having a qb that still is prone to mistakes doesn't help the situation. I know the defense has been awful, but I hate to say it I actually think that the defensive scheme is great for Nebraska. I have noticed improvement probably more so in that area then any other area so far. Offense is way to inconsistant, but the defense has slowly gotten better.
So has Mike Riley lost the team? I don't think so based on all the evidence. It doesn't appear that he really had the team to begin with, or at least not fully. I think there was still a partially divided locker room in the begining about the pelini situation when Riley first arrived. I think some were on the fence and the early looses doesn't help. Mike Riley hasn't won over the locker room yet, but as he gets his guys in there and the old ones out the locker room will shift in a better way. Riley does not have a lot of time to do this. Two or three more wins this season could have gone a long ways towards putting that obstacle behind him.
Here's the bottom line though. I am not going to advocate firing Mike Riley, when there is part of the team that is not buying in yet. I can't believe that I saw evidence to suggest that the players didn't care last Saturday. A game when your bowl berth in on the line, a home game no less. Do you really want to go down as one of the handful of Nebraska teams that couldn't make a bowl game. If you don't want Riley as your coach then go play your ass off and proof he sucks, and we will fire his ass. This whole we can't fire a coach for 3 years at least stuff is bogus. There is no way to judge a coach who still has players on his team that aren't fully committed. There are standards at Nebraska, yes we will loose a game here or there, but the players never come to a game not willing to give everything they got. That is far worst than loosing.

I for one am sick of all the Fire Mike Riley comments! Anybody with half a brain needs to realize that will never happen until at least year 3! The university is not going to payout 3 different salaries for HC's-it's just won't happen. With that being said, why all the "Fire Mike Riley" talk? He didn't fire Bo, and hire himself. This was done by that clown SE. He is the one that needs to go! He is the one setting us back another decade at the very least! He and Perlman are a joke and need to be removed from the program! Perlman should have hired an AD with Nebraska ties, ie ex player or coach. Even if SE would have made a good hire at HC he will still be jumping ship to Wiscy as soon as that job becomes available. We need to find the right AD! Firing Riley won't do anything. Eichorst will just bring in another lackluster HC putting the same type of product on the field. This is Fing NEBRASKA! There is no excuse for this!
Sorry for my rant! I am becoming very frustrated with the state of the program! How much more of this crap are we going to take. SE needs to go now, and Perlman needs to rush into retirement.
i need more plus ones for this one

why not ask frank solich to come back

I know moore got hurt. But god for bid they leave a wr on the field more then 3 plays in a row. Pierson el and reilly could have stayed on the field

Here's your positive outlook for the day:
Since 2012, the NCAA has technically allowed 5-7 teams to play in bowl games provided there aren't enough 6-6 teams to fill out the slots. There are a variety other tiebreakers than come into play - such as FCS teams making the transition to FBS or 6-7 teams that play in conference title games, but the bottom line is: It's possible.
And there are now 40 bowl games. Which is why CBS Sports Jerry Palm - who has long done the best job among national writers of understanding bowl tie-ins and trying correctly project teams into bowl games - has eight projected 5-7 teams in bowl games right now.Nebraska is one of them. Here's one big reason why:When the NCAA tiebreaker for bowls heads to 5-7 teams, the Academic Progress Rate score - a four-year rolling average of graduation rates and other academic metrics - comes in to play.And while Nebraska may be mediocre on the field, it is not, and hasn't been, mediocre in the classroom.The Huskers' 2013-2014 rolling APR score is 985 out of possible 1000.As long as we make a bowl game I would be ok with a 2nd year for Riley, but I still think it is a waste of time giving him another year. I'm not sure what would be more harmful to a program firing a coach after one year, or letting Riley coach for another year

We're forgetting a coach that has Nebraska ties and has won multiple national titles...
Turner Gill
There ya go! Fixed it for you! *dusts hands off*
Seriously, though, Gill deserves another FBS shot. Not sure it should be at DoNU...but the reason he ultimately failed at Kansas was at least 60% political--very caustic climate down there, as many of the boosters of substance didn't take too kindly to a man of color leading their program.
As for head coach, GOAT is on to something with Richt. He'd be willing to bring on specialists and folks like Ed Ogereon(sp) to help fill in gaps and shore up deficiencies (like recruiting) that Nebraska has to contend with.
I would be in favor of Turner Gill. I liked what he did with lowly Buffalo in a short period of time. Agree also that he wasn't given a fair chance at Kansas.
We need to get back to the Nebraksa's philosophy of doing things

There is no worst indictment on a coach whos players have quit on him.

I am saddened by what I read in most of the threads here lately. We call ourselves the best fans in football all the time, yet the best fans wouldn't give up on their team. The best fans continue to support them, through good times and bad. Especially bad.
It is becoming clear that we are a front-running fanbase. No different and certainly no better than anyone else. Front-runners are not fans.
I will continue to support the Huskers because that is what a fan does. If you can't, I have no time for you.
This fan base is the greatest fan base in the country. For the last 16 years they have been dragged through the mud, raped, and pillaged. People in certain power positions have systematically destroyed everything that the fans have loved about this team over the last 65 plus years. For any fan based to endure this and still sell out every home game. How dare the OP question this fan base.

Eichorst is no better than Pederson. His top priority for the program is to have a guy who is media-friendly and who won't ruffle any feathers, someone who will smile and be polite and say all the right things. Whether or not we win or lose, whether we're a top program or not, is all secondary.
We are past due in cleaning house. Pearlman is leaving and this is our chance.

Some good stuff from Sam imo. Good layout of where we are and what kind of football we've played in recent years under Bo and now Riley. Both critical and forgiving.
Since Nebraska entered the Big Ten, it has played 37 league games. In those games, Nebraska outscored league foes 28.5-26.1 per game.
Though it’s a small sample size, Nebraska has technically “outscored” its four league foes 27.5-23 — the 23-point win at Minnesota is the reason.
In other words: 2015 Nebraska is more or less the same team you’ve been watching for four years — rather similar to the 2012 bunch, in some ways — minus the heroics.This all points to its just time to clean house.
