It's not on Tommy, it's on the coaches. Sounds like they hung Tommy out to dry.

 

Scott Frost, because he's running Helfrich's system at Oregon. He's said in an interview that he sees the value of running the football from a power stand point and would love to implement it in his system.

 

I think Frost would bring a unique blend of spread concepts and power football. Something like TO was running with Frost back in '97.

I 100% agree on hiring Frost. But the fact is we won't have to worry about hiring anyone because I can't see Eichorst admitting he messed up with Riley.

Eichorst will never fire Riley. ADs won't admit they screwed up.

our program is in big trouble.

I hate the white shoes... Like the black shoes much more...

I like black shoes with white laces. Old school.

I don't care for Nike, but do like the Jordan brand and think it's cool that when Michigan switches to Nike next year the football and basketball teams will wear Jordan.

Anyone who takes advantage of the elderly is a piece of garbage.

Not a fan of the shoes, but what do ya do? I guess I don't hate it.

Has anyone heard or seen anything about our traditional home unis? Just wondered if any tweaks were made to it.

Going with a different flavor?

I do think it would be cool of an outline of the state appears somewhere. Maybe a patch above the player's name on back of jersey.

Assuming we have an alternate uniform this year, do you think it will be for the homecoming game against Southern Miss or one of the bigger conference games?

Other than the lack of creativity adidas has shown with our alternate uniforms, I have no problem with adidas. That being said, a change might be good. Not a fan of Nike. Going with UA would really appeal to kids as far as merchandise sales. My kids love UA.

Interesting that they moved it to the middle of the week and during the evening. Wonder what that might do to attendance.

Michigan took their time and got who they wanted. We acted fast and got a coach most of us knew nothing about.

I wish we had take our chances with a young up and coming coach than someone who is closer to retirement. Yes, I wish Scott Frost was on his way to Lincoln.

Nice post!

I'm excited for the spring game and new energy. Go Big Red!

Excellent column. I particularly like the last line:

My gut is unsure if Mike Riley will win more football games than Bo Pelini. My gut is telling me this transcends wins and losses, that it’s about much more than that now. My gut is screaming this: Nebraska is better off, as a state, now that Bo Pelini is coaching college football somewhere else.

 

Wouldn't it be something if Oregon State went after Frost for head coach?

I think as Husker fans we have lost our confidence that the program is capable of hiring a good coach who take return us to elite status. The past decade stripped away our swagger.

I fear we're going to some how pull out a win and Bo will remain our coach. We'll be firmly stuck in the average category.

Does anybody else have a problem with coaches at the University not being able to get a meeting with him???? That is the thing that stuck out most to me. That's not acceptable as the AD at a major college!!

It's crazy! Plus, the fact that he assigns the coaches books to read? Doesn't he think they have enough to do already?

Bo needs to be more willing to take someone out of the game if he isn't playing well.

I didn't take it that Lee was whining. I think he was just expressing how difficult it is to get any info from the A.D. office. I doubt most Husker fans knew that.

Our Athletic Director has me concerned.

I agree with Shatel, but I just saw this same thing on Facebook and am amazed by the number of people dissing Shatel and the number rof people who are apparently ok with what the program has become.

"Somebody in Lincoln needs to decide what they want the program to be".
