None of the above
This list doesn't make sense, it's different times with different criteria for the above individuals.

Can we have a write in option? If so, my write in is Tom Osborne who 1. Should not have retired so early and 2. Started the chain of events of NU going 16 years without a conference title.
Perlman! It began and ended with him. Eichorst had his marching orders. "clean up our public image". Little to no regard for becoming elite again. That was not a hiring parameter.
Please explain in detail below, at this point any guidance we can give the University would be helpful. Clearly no one understands what's going on.
I realize TA doesn't play DB or kick our field goals, but his clock management against BYU was beyond horrific as well and it helped BYU win that game. I dare say you could easily pin all 3 losses on his shoulders, but I'll give him a pass for the BYU game anyway as it was the first game of the year. BUT, it is impossible to deny he is making huge mistakes late in every tight game, and we are paying for it.
I don't think it's specific a player so much especially Tommy considering he's one of the only reasons we have been competitive. But again please explain your thoughts and maybe we can help figure this disaster out.
Frankly I think Eichorst needs to explain why he only met with one coach in secrecy during his coaching hunt. As a follow up, I would love to hear his thoughts on the future of this team.
As someone who tried to warn people this year could be a struggle, no one should be fired until we see what Patrick O'Brien can do.
That being said, I really don't care about ADSE. That has nothing to do with the Riley hire, and more to do with the point that I'm just not sure what he does? The man has been here 3 years, and I've seen him on TV like twice. I thought AD's were supposed to be visible and help raise funds?
As an outsider it plain to me that the real problem with Nebraska Football today is that you guys are stuck in a mindset that its still the 1990's and good is not good enough for Nebraska. Its difficult to even discuss issue with a Husker fan these days without them reflexively making some reference to the distance past as if Nebraska's admittedly glorious history has some impact on the present.
Like it or not most college football fans roll their eyes at the Nebraska fan base...which seems to bleed into the thinking of the Nebraska AD and administration. Today Nebraska is best know as that school that sends 9 win coaches down the road without a second thought.

I agree with the Pearlman and Eichorst sentiment.
Don't let Harvey walk out on his own terms, fire him before he walks out the door!
But to me, most of this current mess belongs with Eichorst.
Eichorst had a year to fire Bo (after his rant) and find a suitable replacement.
A year.
The best thing Eichorst could come up with, was to call up his good buddy Barry Alverez and get Mike Riley's name??? Even though that probably wasn't the way it all actually happened.... that's the story the university and media fed us. What the 'dark side of the moon' did Eichorst do for a frickin' year, knowing full well he was going to be hiring the next football coach of Nebraska?!?!
Fire Shawn Eichorst today!
Bring Nebraska an A.D. who can DO the job.

Could have not said it better myself infact I've been saying the same damn thing. Eichorst has no idea how to hire a football Head Coach, all Pearlman said is Shawn we need to change our image.This hire could end up worse than Pederson.
It's just not the mindset of the 1990's did you forget the 1970's and 1980's. Again it wan't Pelini just winning 9 games the games that really counted he started to get his ass handed to him in embarrassing fashion and his tyraid sideline antics.
Nope. No tongue in cheek. Osborne is without a doubt partly to blame for where Husker football currently stands. He hired two coaches that failed. And one was handed a well oiled machine.
For what it is worth both his hires were not totally disasters like Pedersons and we'll see about Eichorst but that is looking like a big mistake.
Nope. But for what's it's worth both Pedey and Eichorst would not of had to go out and hire a coach if Osborne got it right the first....and second time.
Pedy was bound and determined to fire Frank even winning 10 games no matter what. Did you forget what coach won our last conference championship ?
What was Eichorst looking for a Coach that would do better than winning 9 games and winning a conference championship and in the playoffs or just finding a guy who had a better personality than Pelini.
I don't see Riley winning 9+ in the next 3-4 years at least not today I don't.

Did you forget Solich won the North once in six years taking over a program that won 3 National Titles in 4 years? Do you think Pelini is what Osborne had in mind when he hired Bo? Probably not. 7 solid seasons, zero titles, and multiple hand slaps had to be given out because Bo embarrassed the program by his antics. Again, Tom failed. It's okay to admit that.
Pearlmans role needs to be exposed, to often these people decisions made in secret and only take credit when it works out and disappear when the sh*t hits the fan.
My point is your statement in the first place that he is responsible for the current state our football program is in at this current moment....
That is just ridicules.
That is just ridicules.
I give TO a pass he did win 3 NCPs. That being said Snyder is still coaching and he looks amazing.
I would point out that the entire team defensively and offensively for three quarters did nothing only TA delivered.
