Good people as coaches. The line depleted, now is in the hands of a great upcoming coach. Linebackers and d-backs are in good hands.

Jay Safford

I like their chances but it may take a few games with a young d-line. I wish the veterans would have stuck around 1 more year. Our young d-line improvement is the key i believe.

Louis Scholz

I'm a word Parella .......

Isaiah Skrdla

I don't think that it will happen this year. I think this year will be terrible. However I think 2017s defense could be pretty good. I feel better about the direction of the defense than the ofense.

Valerie Gilmore

the talent was there last year, the talent is there this year and we have a new motivator speaking in terms that will get them ready for games, so yeah Nebraska will turn it around.......

Danny Baker

I feel they were almost there last year and now with Parella, the package will be complete.

Gene Baker

Yes they have a ton of young talent and great coaches, especially John Parela! I'm actually very excited to see the finished product out on the field! GBR!!!

Kevin Hamilton

Talent is down in the line but I expect to see improvement this year.

Michael McKain

I believe these are good coaches with good talent. John Parella will help instill the Blackshirt pride.

Todd Michael

I believe in this staff

To me, the 'D' coordinator is still a question mark. 'D' line is a question mark. Although I like John Parrella's chances of bringing them around.

Stephen Johnson

Same defensive staff, different day. Same pass defense, 115 this year????

Roger Lohr

I'm not sure Mr Banker can coach a successful pass defense.

James Traut

Likely improvement in the DBs negated by weaker defensive line.

T David Andrew M

Did not see enough development last season to give me any meaningful reason to suggest that what is returning on the defensive side of the ball will be anywhere near what will be needed for a winning season.

Jc Clark

Not this year with the lack of depth and meaningful experience on the defensive line. it all starts there. We're going in the right direction though.

Terry Darnall

Not sure. This year will tell a lot. I was hoping it was a aggressive defense, but I didn't see it last year. Only Nate Gerry at the end of the year got aggressive. No excuses this year, players know the defense, so now we will find out/

Byron Augustin

Because Banker is still the DC.

Kevin Bolin

The D coordinator has NEVER had a top D so why would we expect one now - especially when the D line is so young?

Was Trev Alberts correct in keeping Nebraska men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg for another year?

Do you think Trev Alberts was correct to push for the coaching staff changes before season end?

The defense has made progress. The offense not so much. The real problem is Frost's dedication to Martinez. Adrian is a great guy, but his minuses exceed his pluses.

Toby Leach

The production was there from those coaches. Better to make the decision then, so you can still have a positive impact with recruiting.

Randy Wolf

I imagine the transfer portal had a lot to do with the timing.

Nate Stineman

It had to be done and it clear that things are going to happen at NU.

Frank Johnson

The team was not going to become better with their existing staff. Make the cut and start improving.

If you are not going to make new hires before the end of the season anyway, what was the purpose in firing them now? It will be interesting to see how the offense performs, but I can't see this as beneficial.
