Cigs did in two years what your coach has not done in 30...
What’s that say about Nebraska? Only 4 teams have won 8 games every year since 2015…Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, and Iowa. 😉

Cigs and Indiana have certainly been successful (in the short-term) with much more NIL $ than Iowa. We’ll see how long they can sustain it?

Cigs has done well and is a good coach. He was also able to bring 30 players from James Madison ( top 25 team) with him to Indiana. Most or all are done eligibility wise this year. He also has hit a high rate in the portal . But as you say will he be able to sustain it .

There is truth to this as crazy as it sounds.
Close losses to lame teams create what iowa has, a coach that has the most losses ever in conference place. All because they were scared to can him and now they are stuck with having to keep him for as long as he wants to be there.

I don't want NU fans to start to brag about #winningseasons when those seasons are 7 or 8 wins and a lame bowl game vs a team that doesn't want to be there.
You're not even to the 8 wins per year benchmark; you hired a lifetime .500 record coach so getting to that 8 win per year mark is going to be a reach.

We got Sims who looked like Stevie Wonder trying to trapeze the Grand Canyon. We'd face an ASU Jeff Sims who will run for 175 against us.
Sims had a bad game yesterday in a loss to Arizona. Three interceptions, less than 50% completion rate, 43 yards rushing on 10 attempts, and a quarterback rating of 31.8.

If he doesn’t go NFL he is not sitting out . He got a day 3 grade with an emphasis on rds 6-7 . He has a difficult decision. Thats not a guaranteed NFL contract.
Here's the deal. If he can get over one million in NIL from NU and then try his luck in the NFL, that makes it a tough decision. Pre-NIL, it's a no brainer to go pro.
