He's the head coach, he deserves the support of all Nebraskans. However, I do feel we could have, and should have, done better. Is it just me, or does this all seem to be a bit rushed? 4 days after the firing and the new guy is already in!

I have to say I am underwhelmed by this appointment. His age concerns me, unless he brings in a much younger cadre of coaches and he is going to be the coach and not a coordinator as well. His track record does not scream success or give confidence that he can improve 9 wins, 2 close losses and one blowout loss into a BIG 10 title. The important thing is what the pundits on the SECESPN network have to say. If Lee Corso and Lou Holtz give him a big thumbs up, we are well and truly screwed.

Not this year, but still funny. Hitler Reacts to Nebraska's Handling of Bo Pelini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNokVds2qAw

Given what he had at his disposal in Corvallis, he probably did the best he could. Going up against Oregon (and the other power programs in the PAC 12) for recruits must have been tough, but, he'll face similar recruiting issues in the Midwest and beyond. Not to mention the actual games. Is this guy being brought in as he is the absolute opposite, personality wise , to Bo Pellini? Does Eichorst think that a more affable coach is going to placate all the fans who were sick of "the antics"? That may work in the preseason games, but if he gets hammered in the Big 10 games... Like others have said, you have to hope that there is something else coming down the pike, like a Scott Frost. I get the feeling that this is a "safe" choice for a head coach after all those seasons the team was coached by a "hothead" who won 9 games a season. Hopefully, Nebraska will not be hoping for the comfort of 9 win seasons further down the road.
