It’s not the time or place,” Eichorst said. “The focus needs to be on our kids, on our coaches, on our staff and on our fan base, and I’m 100 percent committed to that. I’m good with where I’m at from an employment perspective, because I know we’re doing great things in the organization. Eichorst earned a little respect from me after this article. Glad he told Perlman to pipe down 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Eich gets it more than Harvey does. We're lucky to have him. And wow, what a down-to-earth dude: Such extension talk is premature and irrelevant, said Eichorst, noting he’s also asked Perlman to remove perks in his contract, such as a country club membership and car. Should be a great fit in Nebraska, and I hope it's for a long time. Also, this interview was conducted *before* tonight's game. It might have come out on the heels of an ugly loss. But, tonight is Nebraska's night. We've been due. 1 Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 son B.....this weekend keeps getting better. He's done well in the last 48 hours, from his inviting Spurrier to the game, to this. This is a rare applaus for SE. Quote Link to comment
Malth Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I will grudgingly give him props for this. Why is Perlman so dumb? Quote Link to comment
Sargon Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Well done Eichorst! Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I respect that a lot. I believe him when he said that he was undecided about firing Bo up until the last minute and therefore do not think he was out to get or sabotage Bo or was hired to be the hatchetman. 3 Quote Link to comment

Ringer02 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I actually gained a lot of respect for Eichorst after today. Not only him saying the contract extension was inappropriate but also how he stood on the sidelines next to the team and watched the entire game from there. He could have hid up in his press box like Peterson did every week but instead he stood there, showed his support, and took his boo's look a man. 2 Quote Link to comment

He could have hid up in his press box like Peterson did every week but instead he stood there, showed his support, and took his boo's look a man. He was also in the locker room jumping up and and down dancing with the players. He's got to continue to get more involved/exposure like that. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've always liked Eichorst, and thought the sudden rush to paint him as the villain was far beyond premature. I'm not saying I'm right, but I haven't seen reason to think he isn't good at his job yet. 2 Quote Link to comment

BoNeyard Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 He's certainly sticking to his guns, and if it works out this man comes away looking like a genius. I am not putting all my eggs into his basket, but this statement gained some respect. Quote Link to comment

I'm not saying I'm right, but I haven't seen reason to think he isn't good at his job yet. I've always liked Eichorst as well and this article reaffirms that. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've always liked Eichorst, and thought the sudden rush to paint him as the villain was far beyond premature. I'm not saying I'm right, but I haven't seen reason to think he isn't good at his job yet. I'm neutral on him. I think he got the hate before this season because he's a redhead and a lawyer. 1 Quote Link to comment
