I am not happy, I am sad about it. I was sad when Mediocre Mike was hired.

I'm sorry I'm not at the game to help boo as they go to the locker room.

Must be why you keep crowing. Hopefully they consult you on the next hire
We are bad in every phase of the game. That is coaching.
Great question. I honestly do not hope Nebraska loses. It should be obvious. I do, however, think Mike Riley was and still is a terrible coach and I disagree with Eichorst on many levels. I believe Nebraska (and certain fans) have their head in the sand and are unable to forecast and adequately analyize this football team and are more than happy letting this dumb coach continue. This is a horrible football team in year three. We're better than this but apparently some folks are ok with that.
Thanks for the question.
How many assistants does a head coach get to fire, before we realize that maybe the head coach is the issue? Riley's a good guy but he is a career loser, and losing becomes a habit.
So glad I'm at work and not watching this.
26 passes in the first half against NIU????
I had held out hope against all logic/facts that MR could work out. It's not going to work out........
The first half against Oregon wasn't an outlier......
Oh don't get me wrong...Riley sucks. But somebody has to coach unfortunately.
So here we are again! How did we get here? Narrowly beating Ark St. Embarrasing and sloppy game at Oregon. Now losing by two TDs to NIU with another sloppy performance by our third year coached team under Riley.
Please show me how Riley is the man for the job. He is losing this team and more fan support each week. Clearly another year on Riley's contract by Eichorst only proves the head office is just as blind.

Are the fans still holding their red balloons? First time in 10 years we've been shut-out in the first half - and it comes against a directional school that finished 5-7 last year.
Sorry to disrupt the narrative, but as far as I could tell in the stands, most people were booing the (all too common) terrible officiating at the end of the half. Not happy with the game, but we should have had four opportunities to score from the two yard line.

No more. Blo replaced way too many as well. This is all on the Head coach and the guy who hired him
Mediocre Mike...Period. I am sad that this is what has happened. We hope for the best but most know what is happening.
Shut out because it's apparently now legal to tackle a receiver as the ball is coming to him. Not to mention, they've been hanging all over our receivers all game long, with zero penalties to show for it.

Robert Smith had it right-- what is our offensive game plan and identity? Not the stable of running backs that we were told it would be. One RB touched the ball. Not a ball control passing game. No deep balls. And the offensive line? I agree we have talented recruits in the system but they are not being developed and/or on the field. Who are we?
Seriously, can we give it a rest.
Bo and Riley WERE BOTH TERRIBLE COACHING HIRES. Different reasons why they suck, but they both suck.
NU has the resources/tradition to average 8 wins a year just with average coaching.
1. Two interceptions. Lee lacks confidence or the smarts to throw a pass in those situations.
2. D P-E. Punt retuning.First he doesn't catch it, then he doesn't call a fair catch and almost gets killed and then he almost loses it. Is he the best the Huskers have for punt returns/
3. Coaching Quarterback throws into double coverage, no one in to protect the statuesque Lee (fullback or H-back) and the most simple showing of lack of organization having to call a TO on 3rd and 1 because they can't get the right personnel in on time. Lack of focus by the players. They don't play with a sense of urgency. Bad coaching
The Big Ten teams are going to bury the Huskers
