Eichorst 2014 - "But in the final analysis, I had to evaluate where Iowa was." Where Do We Go From Here Nebraska?

[The Duke]

One year ago Nebraska Athletic Director made this now famous quote when he realized that a coaching change was needed. *Note I agreed with the decision to make the change.

 

"But in the final analysis, I had to evaluate where Iowa was." - Sean Eichorst Nebraska Athletic Director 2014

 

 

2014 - Iowa finished 7-6

 

2015 - Iowa is a Top 5 program.

 

 

 

2015 - Nebraska is 5-7, and with it has the first losing season at home in 46 years!

 

 

My point is, Sean Eichorst's quote is just as relevant today, if not more so, than it was in 2014 as it applies to Nebraska.

 

Now the question: Where Do We Go From Here Nebraska?

 

• ​What do you want to see happen this offseason with the Nebraska program?
• What changes need to be made to make 2016 a better season than 2015?

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

New offensive coord

New QB

Stronger running game

Better passing game

 

EDIT: Eichorst fired

[Pasadena Husker]

we won't go anywhere. everything will be status quo. mike riley will continue to field 0.500 teams. we will be fed sh&t and told it is ice cream. two more years of this crap. it won't be fun.

[Vitalis Jackson]

This team, unlike the Pelini team of last year, improved during the year and exhibited class on and off the field. So let's move on to a new topic. I do NOT see how anyone can be bitter by Pelini's firing. He should not be head coach anywhere.

Agreed. The point of the thread was if Eichorst was comparing Nebraska to Iowa last year. What changes must be made when you compare Nebraska to this year's Iowa team.

 

The reason this is a fair question to ask is because Iowa is now exactly where all Nebraska fans want this program to be at. Top 10 and in the conversation for the playoff.

• What changes need to be made to make 2016 a better season than 2015?

 

We can start with winning more than 6 games in the regular season.

[BoNeyard]

Would like to see a new Defensive Coordinator.

 

Give the keys to O'Brien.

 

Be positive.

Riley getting his annual win over a ranked team and then running away and hiding from an awful Rutgers team isn't really a tremendous sign of progress/season-long improvement or a real break from standard operating procedure for him.

Hell, 6 would be an improvement

One year, tops, if Riley doesn't get s**t fixed or do an overhaul of his staff. Eichorst doesn't have his HarvStrong Employment Shield next year.

[Husker Q]

New A.D.

New head coach and staff.

We won't be good until Riley and staff are gone.

[suh_fan93]

Nebraska is going to stay the same until this entire coaching staff is gone. That much I do know.

[HuskerShark]

Keep the squad together and work on our weaknesses. Chance to do huge things next year.
