Nebfanatic Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Funny how we didn't hear about anything like what Bo did with any of our other coaching changes. 1 Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Great read but two points were made that a local writer - certainly a fan - would have deeper, more accurate analysis. “Pelini’s volatility, put on public display in the form of his frequent sideline meltdowns, clashed with the administration led by the previous athletic director, Shawn Eichorst.” Nitpicky? Perhaps. But I still believe the clash was with Perlman originally, who forced out TO for SE to do his dirty work. That’s not to release SE from responsibility, he was bad. “The Badgers’ rise—led by Tom Osborne disciple Barry Alvarez, first as head coach and now as athletic director—has mirrored the Huskers’ decline.” Barry was a Devaney player, not from the tree of Osborne. The rest of the connection is correct though. 2 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 @Savage Husker I noticed that too. Alvarez's playing days were before Osborne was named OC. Osborne was an unpaid assistant on offense at the time, I believe, and Alvarez played linebacker. I'm sure they'd met, but probably didn't know each other too well. 1 Quote Link to comment

Well...sort of but not in the same way. FS won't step foot back in the state BC hated Nebraska Riley still might not know he was fired. 3 Quote Link to comment

Sorry, Judge Judy, I do not have a certified letter with a notary stamp that verifies this information. But I am pretty sure that 2/3 are 100% correct. 4 Quote Link to comment

BIGREDIOWAN Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Jesus......I got goosebumps reading that article, not afraid to admit reading it gave me a small bit of mistiness to my eyes as well. Everything feels right with this situation, that doesn't mean we'll win a N.C. in two years or five years, but it means this terrible 20 year decline might be coming to an end. Scott gets it, he's lived it, knows the pressure cooker and culture that is Lincoln and has this coolness and calmness about him we haven't seen in a looooong time. I can't wait to see where this all goes, we've done our time in hell, time to climb out of that hole. 2 Quote Link to comment

It is amazing the change in attitude in Huskerland from November to now. One word sums it up: Hope. 1 Quote Link to comment
bleedNUred Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hope and actual belief that most of us feel now is something that we haven't had or felt in a very long time. Like I had "hope" before with the other coaches/staffs but it didn't feel genuine like it does now. 1 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Frost became this once-proud program's third coach since that blog, fourth overall since hall of famer Tom Osborne retired in 1997. I wonder which coach they forgot to count. Frost is our 4th coach since 2005 and 5th since Osborne retired. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Also, Frost does not have rugged good looks, imho. He's too pretty for that. Quote Link to comment
