To this day, I fail to see what Eichorst was thinking with this piss poor hire. Expecting a 0.500 coaching staff to win games is like expecting a Kia Spectra to beat a Mustang in a race. Lets face it, Mike Riley and his staff will not turn things around. When we finish 3-9 or 4-8 this season, it will be impossible to attract good recruits. We are a bottom tier team in the West division. That says it all. I don't trust this team to beat Wyoming right now. Why not fire a coach that is getting a big fat check if he can't produce on the field. Isn't that why he is being paid the big bucks. Obviously he has no idea how to coach this team to win games. When Nortwestern went up 30 to 28 and got the ball with 4:27 left, they were able to bleed the clock and finish. Something that Riley and Company could not do all season. So, why should we keep these clowns another year. Heck, if they had any decency, they would pack up and leave and let someone else try and restore Husker pride which is all but gone at this point.Opposing QBs come to Lincoln to make a name for themselves. Home field advantage means absolutley nothing. So, lets keep Mike Riley three more years because he is doing a wonderful job so far. He should be so proud of all his accomplishements this season.

I say we go 4-8 at best if not 3-9. This coaching staff are waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy over their heads. They have no mojo. At this point, they are just robbing the state of Nebraska blind by cashing fat checks and destroying what is left of Husker pride. How low have we fallen! It is depressing that we have become insignificant and simply irrelevant.

Are you kidding me, I would rather put my member in the meat grinder than get that fat pig as our coach.

Irrelevant

We will finish 4-8 this season. Expecting a losing coaching staff to win games is simply ridiculous.

I learned that Mr. Nice Guy and his inexperienced coaches are robbing the state of Nebrasak blind by cashing fat checks and putting a piss poor product on the field. I do not blame the players, they are not the ones that are getting fat checks to lose games and embarrass our proud tradition. Also, I learned that if we want to restore pride, we need to put Eichorist, the UNL chancellor, Mike Riley, and his horrible coaches in a bus and send them to Kansas, where they belong.

When are we going to admit that this coaching staff is below average at best and they will NEVER get it right here at Nebraska. These coaches are meant for division II football (FCS or whatever) and not a power 5 conference. Expecting an old dog to learn new tricks is impossible so why are we surprised at the outcome. At this point, this experiment is a failed one and the sooner we end it, the better chances we have of reduced heartache risk by fans. Northwestern did absolutely NOTHING to win this game and we simply bent over (like usual) and giftwrapped it for them. We had so many chances to get a good lead and the coaches made the wrong decisions. This will not change. I will be surprised if we actually make it to a bowl game this season. I would not be surprised if we lose to Purdue next week. Their QB is 10 times better than the one we faced today.

Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois fans, have endured what we're just now experiencing, for years now. Yet, I'm pretty sure they weren't whining about it on the level we are, calling for mid-season firing, etc. We would have kicked Ferentz out, YEARS ago. s Minn, Iowa, and Illinois are not fifth all time in wins and never will be. We are so we need to act like it and stop giving excuses to piss poor performances.

We lose big because losing became normal for these players and apparently AD things we are in a good place right now. I do not see the urgency to win...plus Minn held their ground against TCU. We would not last 10 seconds with TCU. if we played TCU this week, they will hang 150 points on us with our pass defense. I really hope we win because I am really tired of seeing my beloved Huskers lose but everything points to us finding a stupid way to lose the game.

I completely agree, Mark Richt understands the Nebraska tradition. Tressel knows what it takes to win in the BIG Ten regardless of the past, and chip Kelly will soon leave the pros just like Saban and will be looking for a college job. If we pass on these then we will never see the light...our current coach will never be anything but a 500 type of guy. That is who he is and that is how he will retire. Expecting Riley to win championships is like expecting a lamb to beat a lion.

I am getting really tired of those who say that we need to settle for this kind of performance and accept the fact that our time of dominance is gone. I am a true Huskers and I believe that a team that is the fifth all time in wins in the nation should have the pride to try harder to regain their spot among the elite. Michigan, Norte dame, have done it, why not us. The difference is that our AD is an ignorant azz that does not understand our tradition and went out there and hired the first nice guy he found instead of doing the right thing and taking his time to find the best out there. We do not have professional teams in the state and our Huskers are our pride. Seeing this piss poor performance week in, week out is not acceptable and whoever thinks that expecting more from your team, your coaches, and your AD is not being a true fan, then shame on you.

I absolutely hate when people label other people as non fans simply for stating their honest opinion. I have always been a Husker Fan since the day I was born. I also went to UNL for my BS, MS, and PhD degrees in the 90s when we were a power to be reckoned. I remember blowing out teams like Michigan State 56 to 14. What we have now is a complete disaster and anyone who sees a positive with our current situation is simply blind. I also do not agree with what people say about not being able to recruit or get an excellent caliber coach to come to Nebraska. That is complete and utter Bullcrap. If Boise State can recruit and win consistently, why can't we? Have you ever been to Boise State? Lincoln is HEAVEN compared to that village. No offense Boise State. There are so many teams that have surpassed us and we are spending our money on coaches that have proven to be losers. Eichorst did not do his homework. He just went and hired the first nice guy he knows. If he actually did his job, we would have not been 2-4. What is sad is that the state of Nebraska is paying incompetent people like Riley, Eichorst, and the LOSER PERLMAN big fat checks to bring our beloved University to the ground. we have fallen in academics and athletics. A good coach finds a way to win. Look at our volleyball team. We have been relevant ever since I can remember. We might not be winning championships every year but we are definitely a team that everyone fears. Our football team is a team that everyone looks forward to playing so they can break records. I love my huskers and I will ALWAYS be a husker fan but I simply refuse to fool myself by saying that what is happening is right and that we need to give this horrible excuse for a coaching staff five years to see what they can do. Harbaugh took a mediocre Michigan team and turned them into a killing machine in six months. Riley took decent talent and made them into the laughing stock of college football. The sooner Eichorst admits he is a FIRST CLASS IDIOT, the sooner this nightmare will be over.

If Riley and his coaches had any decency, they should return every penny they got from the state of Nebraska and pack their bags and leave so someone who knows how to coach gets a chance. By the way, Riley should also take his friend Eichorst and our inept University President with him. Ever since Pearlman took over, our university has been in a free fall. We are no longer relevant in academics or athletics. Good job Perlman. You should be proud of that big check you get you loser.

Stupidity is defined as doing the same exact thing and expecting different results. If you open the new dictionary, you will see a picture of our coaching staff next to the word "Stupidity". That sums up our staff. No amount of time can make these coaches better. They have a losing culture since they were in Oregon State and they simply brought that losing culture with them. The arrogance of Eichorst to assume that this coaching staff can come here and win immediately should be enough reason to get him and the inept President fired.

Here is what I fail to understand. Let us just assume that Riley was telling the truth and that Armstrong decided to pass even though he was told not to do so. After the third down play, there was a timeout taken. Why didn't the coaches tell Armstrong NOT to PASS. Or Heck, take the sack if you have to. The point is there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this disaster of play calling. If you told me that we had the ball at the 27 yard line with 55 seconds to go and we were up 13 to 7 and we lost the game, I would have said you are lying but seeing is believing. Drew Brown has been good, let him at least try to win it for us and put the game out of reach. Here is my issue, if we are not capable of beating Illinois then it is extremely hard to see us win again. Purdue has a QB that is lights out in long passing and we are dead last against the pass. I simply can't see us truning the corner any time soon. This coach might be a nice guy but if he has not won anything in 40 years, what makes us think that he will win here. Let's face it, our AD flexed his muscle and got HIS guy without doing his job and actually seeking out the RIGHT man for the job. I do not believe that a coach needs four years to turn things around. AT LEAST NOT in a program with such pride and loyal fans. How did the coaches at Michigan and Florida do it. They took over disasters and their teams are making a BIG splash. We have become insiginificant. No one talks about Nebraska football anymore unless it is a BIG play against us. I have been a loyal fan ever since I can remember and I go to all the games I can but it is getting harder and harder to see my beloved Huskers turned into a laughing stock of college football. I am not saying Bo was teh right person and I am glad he is gone but this person is not RIGHT either. He is loyal to his coaching staff which means that he will not make the necessary changes to correct things. There are no positives any more. We lost the last record by losing our first game and we are a punching bag for any program that wants to make a splash. It is a disgrace to call this defense the blackshirts because it is a slap to the face of every player that actually played defense at Nebraska. I honestly do not believe that this coaching staff is capable of producing nine win seasons.
