IMO Eichorst did good things over the last few years for the #Huskers Also some questionable things. Trev is obv nxt but who else is there?

Firing AD Shawn Eichorst puts even more pressure now on Mike Riley who's 1-2 this year & 16-13 since taking over.

Nebraska's problem is AD Shawn Eichorst didn't try to hire the best coach, he tried to hire the coach least like Bo Pelini.
