It needed to be done. Changes like this often is the kick teams need to unite around

Scott threw a pass with 4 minutes to go in the game when the offense was running the ball on a warn down and very tired defense. It got us to the one yard line too soon in the game. We could have drained the clock and ran the ball. Game management was the main reason we kept losing close games.

If anyone other than TA had been hired as the AD, Frost wouldn't even have been here for the first 3 games. TA did the right thing at that time imo, under the circumstances. He again has done the right thing under these new circumstances. I like MJ a lot, great recruiter and loves NU....GBR!!!!

The players didn't need 3 more weeks of uncertainty, especially when it was inevitable at this point.

Mickey Joseph is fully engaged, and will ignite this team! I fully expect to see this entire team "molt" their "Frostiness", and transform into a real Husker squad again. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen soon. Go Big Red!

Mickey will bring more positive energy on gameday; and more detail and accountability in practices.

Greatly improved, Frost was unfortunately more of a disease that was slowly killing the team because of a losing culture, lack of energy and excitement and the same old talk in the press conferences because of the same ole issues.

Ever been in a relationship you needed to end because it was just time....except it was past time? You didn't hate this person, still cared for them, but you knew you had to end it sooner or later, kept putting it off.....and when you finally did, it was like you were flying through the air...

This isn't a dating relationship, it's a coach teaching/mentoring young kids. kids that make mistakes daily.

Feels like a weight was lifted. Sure was pulling for Frost.Hope DONU finds a way to keep HCMJ and Beckton around.

We can now move on now that Frost is gone. There is no more noise about it. The players can now focus on playing a game. A new voice means new rejuvenation!

Defense is woeful. Only hope for Nebr victory is a scoring feast by both sides...last team possession will win.

The atmosphere around the program was "dead man walking". That sucks the motivation. This will reignite drive.

Somebody has to jolt the defense to play better. Perhaps it's a hopeless cause in the moment. We'll find out on Saturday.

Defensive Coordinator shoulda been fired b4 Frost, defense is a complete embarrassment and OU will hang 60 on these guys and these transfers aren’t very impressive. They should be stripped of there blackshirts, wearing a blackshirt used to be an honor, now it’s like every kid gets a trophy, pathetic

Creates short term instability and uncertainty within the ranks. Undermines confidence in players and staff to beat a tough opponent days away.

The Problem is the defense. Our offense has proving ability to score, our special teams has improved, however our defense continues to be horrific. The wrong man was fired. Chins needs to go

If the lines are improved and up to the task, I think they lose to Oregon, Indiana and OSU, maybe split Illinois/Iowa and win the other 7.

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.
