The wheels are already off and just running on the rims nowNext year is gonna be tough to watch.
Not really. Expectations will be appropriately low. My background TV will likely see more NU games.Next year is gonna be tough to watch.
Is that ever the case? Memories are short. By June most of the board will be chugging the kool-aid.Not really. Expectations will be appropriately low. My background TV will likely see more NU games.
The last few years of Frost, most had given up on him. People will have hope, but whose betting the farm on a turnaround? Not many I'd guess.Is that ever the case? Memories are short. By June most of the board will be chugging the kool-aid.
with a grinning rhule steering the boat and a huge cloud of $100 dollar bills blowing out the backIn automobile terms, the boat trailer with the boat on it became dettached and it just passed ya doin 75.
Yeah its called money. Keep the seats filled.. Hick-backward Nebraska crap for 25 years. And so it continues...Tom the legend? Yes he was no question. Top 6 all-time. The reason we are in the position we are at? Yes Tom. Not 100 percent, but 75. Read between the lines and you will get it. In the meantime, go Matt (.500 spitter ) Kenneth Rhule!!! At least Tom had class and was a great coach, but put the puzzle together and have the balls to say it. The posters "in the know" (and there are few, but some) understand where I am coming fom.This goes way above Rhule. I mean come on, how can we continue to miss with coaching. Something is going on above in the athletic department, something is wrong here. Definition of Insanity….
Weird way to say it but the positive is we know we are going to suck next year. It's an absolute that we are going to get blown out more than a few times. Like ugly blown out. Maybe even by a team like Maryland or Rutgers.The wheels are already off and just running on the rims now
Depends on how we do in the portalWeird way to say it but the positive is we know we are going to suck next year. It's an absolute that we are going to get blown out more than a few times. Like ugly blown out. Maybe even by a team like Maryland or Rutgers.
I would laugh my *** off if we lost to North Dakota and that could happen.
It's more about coaching. I am absolutely convinced our coaching staff would have Indiana's team at 7-5Depends on how we do in the portal
Depends largely on what they do in the portal. Gotta find a right tackle, a QB and a stud DT. TJ isn’t the guy. 3 guys could help immensely. Even then we witnessed last night what can happen when OSU changed the play caller. I’m very skeptical that the coaching changes we made will change the O line or or defense’s performances.Is that ever the case? Memories are short. By June most of the board will be chugging the kool-aid.
They out OC’d us for sureDepends largely on what they do in the portal. Gotta find a right tackle, a QB and a stud DT. TJ isn’t the guy. 3 guys could help immensely.

I’m not exactly sure what anybody expected last night. We started our 3rd string RT at RT and our 4th string RT at RG. Lateef isn’t the answer and the middle of our defense has been soft all year. I give the staff credit for the first two scores and the way we somewhat slowed down their offense early in the game. Dana had a good early plan which I think it took a few series for Utah’s DC to correct but they were clearly superior in the trenches and at QB.It's more about coaching. I am absolutely convinced our coaching staff would have Indiana's team at 7-5
I don’t think there’s much Dana could do. The right side of our O line was the worst I’ve ever seen at NU. Lateef backpedaled in to several sacks. There’s no way Corcoran can slow down an edge rusher if TJ doesn’t step up in to the pocket. As I expected, their lines mauled us.They out OC’d us for sure
I don't think that's going to happen to the extent it did the last 2 seasons.Is that ever the case? Memories are short. By June most of the board will be chugging the kool-aid.
This goes way above Rhule. I mean come on, how can we continue to miss with coaching. Something is going on above in the athletic department, something is wrong here.
I am not a football coach so impossible for me to say coaching is the problem. However in watching the playoff games it is very obvious to me that Husker players lack the speed, size, weight and ability as compared to the elite teams. No coach can win without at least some elite players. Yes the Huskers have a few but seriously lack those in the D and O lines. That is where games are won or lost. NU is hard place to recruit to and Nebraska high schools do not seem to turn out the quality of players like in the past. Guess it now boils down to money sadly!This has been ongoing since Tom retired and anointed Solich. Then, what? Solich was too short, and could not recruit. Pelini was the best chance, but I suspect whiskey and coke got him. Callahan, WTH, was fired by the Raiders. Still coaching OL in the NFL, I think. Riley? Good coach, bad match. Frost (I never did like him when he went to Cal); then, he came crying back to TO, who made him a "star." If I was a coach? Wouldn't want this job.
No, it’s called no legit coach wants to come here. It’s too hard to recruit. Guys don’t want to live on a plane or drive across corn fields. It’s not hard to figure out. I always laugh when people can’t figure out the captain obvious!!This goes way above Rhule. I mean come on, how can we continue to miss with coaching.

What Championships have we won lately?? We might be losers now, but you all are perennial LOSERS..Memories are short? Many NE fans think they're still a blue blood.
Yep.
The #1 job of any coaching staff is to fill the roster with players who have speed, size, weight and ability.
Especially in CFB, where coaching staffs have a significantly greater amount of control over roster makeup than high school or pro coaches.
You can develop those traits, buy those traits, or some of each.
Rhule was crystal clear that his philosophy was to develop those traits.
So, how's that gone heading into year 4?
Who has developed on the OL?
Who has developed on the DL? (Robinson and Hutmacher were not his recruits).
EJ developed to a tremendous degree.
Who else?
If our coaches cannot field a team that has speed, size, weight and ability, they need to be replaced with coaches that can.
Yes been there once and not a great place to live but they are surrounded by oil and that means a great deal of money.Ever been to Lubbock?
then again Texas Tech has like 70+ players from Texas. So they can fill a roster with guys from their backyard (albeit a very large backyard). Add in the bags of money they have and life is good for the Red Raiders. They can get/buy good players from out of state to create a roster we can only dream of.Ever been to Lubbock?
