  1. Been hearing a lot of talk, and with Florida St. opening and going after Taggert. Its been floated around that Oregon will pressumably go after Frost. Will he he listen or has Nebraska and Frost been done for a while. Or does he take a step back and start weighing his options again?
  2. There is something hilariously ironic about you posting that. I heard they're only getting rid of records from former players that live over 500 miles away because they aren't true Nebraskans and their records are hurting our strength and conditioning culture. This is awesome. Best post of the day
  3. And clearly if one person does it that has to mean the other 120+ feel the same way. What? That's literally your logic in this topic. One player said it wasn't a big deal and was blown out of proportion, therefore that's what every other player thinks. lol? Well, off the top of my head MRI, Tommy Armstrong, and Mike Riley himself have said it was overblown. An offensive leader, defensive leader, and the new head coach. So there's that. I don't disagree that overall it's overblown, but I also believe the previous coach's sentiment regarding fans rubbed off on some players.The fact of the matter isn't about it being overblown, it's that some players did foster that mentality - and one was a captain. So there's that. you mean he comment he made about just the fair-weather fans that boo the team and leave early? Yeah, those fans suck. So there's that. Ya. 'Cause I'm sure that's the only thing Bo ever said. Lolol. Maybe not, but that one soundbyte is usually what some people solely base their opinion on. Is there other "proof" of Bo saying he hates all Nebraska fans? Let's vilify some and redirect blame for faults of others based on assumptions and hyperbole. lolol How bad was it in 1978 when another perennial 9 win coach was almost fired? I guess that's a pretty good indicator that some people's definition/expectation/tolerance for sunshine and roses can be skewed. Or you could say the difference between Pelini and Osborne was not getting fired. In truth, Osborne was not almost fired in 1978, but considered the Colorado job because he didn't think he was being appreciated enough at Nebraska. It remains unknown whether Tom ever called Bob Devaney a kunt. So there's that. "In truth"? Nice to see someone being truthful, instead of making statements based on assumptions and hyperbole. In truth, Osborne himself said a regent pulled him aside after the Bluebonnet bowl and told him if he hadn't won he would have been fired. Is Osborne lying? In truth, there is a big difference between AD Devaney's regard for Osborne than there was AD Eichorst's regard for Pelini. Perhaps Devaney and Osborne had a pre-existing relationship prior to their AD/HC occupational situation? It remains unknown if Osborne would not have called Devaney a kunt after Devaney had fired Osborne. It also remains unknown to some if apples are equal to oranges. So there's that. You do know Osborne was on Devaneys staff right? And perhaps ADSE had a reason to hold Pelini in such regard. I think this whole thing should be over and move on. I really think that Pelinis personality and they way he did things did rub off on players but I also think that these young men are growing and learning new things. They are smart kids and I think this is one of those things fans need to get through the offseason, and I suppose for some to try to draw lines
  4. Let's not forget the blowouts and continually making the program look bad on national tv. But hey he beat the crap out SDSU a couple of times
  5. Is Monte Kiffen still around?
  6. WOW That could be one of the dumbest posts I have read on here in a long time. CM, I usually enjoy your posts, even though I don't agree all the time with them. But your hatred for this staff and love for the previous is really starting the cloud your judgement. If improvement isn't a good measure how do coaches last. Shouldn't every coach be fired after one maybe two years?
  7. Where do people get these crazy ideas about you, CM? Drop the mic Guy. Excellent. Also, I highly doubt a "Hack" official as you call him can rise as far as he did. CM, it does not matter what you think of him personally, you cannot just dismiss what he said.
  8. That's the dumbest thing I've read ever. The scheme worked for the same guys last year but not this year. Did you watch their games this year like I did? Scheme wasn't the problem. Talent was Thank you. Scheme is fine and all, and it's a great thing. But to say it's not because of the athletes is straight ignorance
  9. Any way you slice it, it's hard to get past this point.Let's not ignore Bo and Co's ineptitude recruiting that put us in this situation partially as well. I would add that Riley gets this years talent not last years' (AKA not an NFL running back). At least Callahan did not leave a bare cupboard. Riley still under performed and he was too interested in getting his system into place, not catering to the players talents so he better make the best of the mulligan he gets this year. People say that Solich left a bare cupboard. In reality, Callahan inherited more and higher drafted NFL prospects than Pelini did. The artist shapes the clay. I highly doubt Bo would have won less than this year with this exact roster. WHAT??????
  10. Wow, sad thing is this took some time to think about. I didnt agree with the Callahan hire, but solich needed to go. So let's get over that 13 year gripe. Second of all, who really gives a rats behind what offense we run. If a coach came in here and threw the ball 70 times and won a national championship or two no one would care we only ran the ball 10 times a game. Who cares, Just win
  11. And bring in his "throw it all over the yard, PAC 12 basketball offense"???? This is freaking hilarious........ People here bitch about throwing it to much and you want the Frost offense????? Of course it is Frost, so he will do no wrong. LOL!!!!I'm assuming that since Frost is actually familiar with our program, he would formulate an offense to be successful here. I'd bet that he would call plays to the strengths of his players, something that the current staff lied about doing. You assume a lot, most of it wrong. Coaches run what they know! Frost is going to run his Oregon offense in Florida and should he come here in the distant future, he is not going to run an offense he has NEVER coached. He would bring an offense you claim to despise (Chuckle) Dream on Dream Weaver......You mean his offense that is based on principles of Dr. Tom's?I'll take that. Now that is a stretch or a crap, how ever you want to frame it. Chip Kelly's offense based in the Osborne principle??? Ha! Ha! WOW! Nebraska 2015: 439 passing plays - 434 running plays Oregon 2015: 340 passing plays - 570 running plays Frost has said repeatedly that he wants an offense with a more powerful running game in addition to the up tempo-quick strike passing game... and that's exactly the type of offense that he ran at Oregon this year and that Frost will run in Florida. Unfortunately I'm going to have to join the chorus in saying that this person going by the name RADAR does not know what they are talking about... and appears to know nothing about football. Let us not forget that many of the principles for the zone read scheme were derived from Dr. Tom's option principles. Please let me know anywhere where that it written or said. While Osborns option game was outstanding, it was not unique. It took its principals from other option schemes like wing t and wishbone.
  12. Next season the goal will be to have a bowl outside of Florida or California Next season, the goal should be to actually deserve a bowl. Not steal a "win" on a horrifically bad call and then get a bid to a bowl game out of pity. Fact is, we do NOT deserve a bowl this year. We should be more ashamed than excited. Next up: participation trophies and orange slices...count me out. Missouri is the only team with enough class to say thanks but no thanks. your not a player or a coach so drop the "we" sh#t. this team didn't beg to get a bowl game but as things are they did. Ucla got the same treatment a few years back. Extra practice time wont hurt. Amen
  13. Ahem. I am "that one poster" whom you think believes in pixie dust. What I believe about Riley at this point is irrelevant because he has had one year as coach at Nebraska. If he improves, great. If not, on to the next. I am not in a place that I feel I can evaluate a coach based on one year. I didn't want Pelini gone until about year 5 or so. With regards to Solich and his AD, we can agree that Pederson was not up to the task of being the AD of Nebraska. That doesn't mean that he was wrong in the overall decision to fire Solich. Timing? Perhaps. Mucking up the hiring process? Yes. Hiring the wrong replacement? Absolutely. Solich inherited an aging staff that he elected to keep. That's on him. He owns that outright. Did he make necessary changes? Yes. And he should have been given time to see if they would work. In the end, it probably wasn't going to get us anywhere. Of course that, is my opinion. But based on Solich NEVER getting a shot at a major program even though he traveled coast to coast to learn and evaluate from all of the great coaches at the time, he ended up at Ohio........University. And furthermore, Solich may not have been the HC at Nebraska at all. I believe it is common knowledge that Bill Byrne had his sights set on a young coordinator named Bob Stoops. But Osborne, with his legacy in tow, had some veto power and got his buddy hired instead. I am sure Frank is a great guy and a good coach. I actually went to the Gophers game this year to cheer him on. I just don't believe he was the right coach to continue the winning traditions of Nebraska. Is that thinking critically enough for you? Roasted Awesome
  14. This gets posed all the time, and frankly I think it's a dumb question. Him being a Nebraska native that played here is part of his resume to look at as a potential head coach at Nebraska. He's a great coach in his own right, but him being a hometown boy that knows the culture, a former player that knows the program, and a good man that would embrace the values and the characteristics of the state are important. Would Michigan have hired Brady Hoke if he wasn't a Michigan Man? Would Urban have jumped back into coaching for any job other than his homestate school? You don't think Bama will come calling to Dabo Swinney when Saban hangs it up? Would Pat Fitzgerald or Mike Gundy have essentially lifetime job security if they didn't play at NW or OSU respectively? So a good reason for the Frank Solich hire is because he played here? Or to have Turner Gill here as a head coach. Would it be great to bring back the hometown kid who won a national championship?? Sure, but I don't need a hometown kid for me to feel better about the program. I just want the coach who is going to win here. He has ZERO head coaching experience this year and the last couple years he's called plays he had arguably the best QB in the NCAA. Let's see what he can do on his own before we crown him. Your not really comparing Frost to Hoke , Meyer and the rest of them are you?
