ive been reading this thread for the last few days and ive come away kinda confused....
what i gather is for whatever reason or another nebraska could never find a (top notch) coach from the pro's, college, Division III etc.... that would be willing to come here and turn things around...... whats with this??
At least part of the problem is you're not asking a coach to come in here and turn things around. He should be able to come in and win 10 games his first year and not look back from there.
A new coach would have to turn things around. In case no one noticed, the defense is always out on the field, giving up tons of yards and big plays and touchdowns and points. They miss a lot of one arm tackles. The DLine does not put pressure on the QB. The defense does not look difficult to move the ball against. They do not play physical, aggressive and fast. They are stuck on their assignments and get pushed around. Meanwhile the offense goes through several ruts and fails to move the ball against equal opponents. Throw in the high amount of penalties, fumbles, interceptions. Even the punt returner has to fair catch the punt instead of trying to make a play. This team plays below average on the road. This team has often been challenged at home. And the coaching staff look chaotic on the sidelines when they are shouting and arguing with each other and the refs. Even at the players sometimes. So look no further than at the head coach. 5 out of 6 years. This team is 54-22 under Pelini. 71% winning, nearly 30% losing. 10 wins you say? Heck 6-7 wins a year are basically automatic with the talent and the cream puff scheduling. When the teams we play are equal or better, we lose more than we win. So toss out that 9 win bench mark because it's not the case the past 10 years including Callahan. Unless there are 13 to 14 games, sure 10 wins isn't too much to ask. Unless you want a fan base to enjoy their Saturday's antiquing instead of Husker football.
