Four-Star Recruit
Compete and win, week in and week out.
True. Ultimately, I feel we should be working towards winning conference championships. That is the prize we need to have in our heads. If we accomplish that, then you are in the playoff picture for something much bigger. But, without competing for the conference championship, you get nothing.Putting win numbers, championships by a certain year, or any other measurable is a bit of an over reach imo. Crawl before we walk... run. My real expectation is to field a team that is fun to watch, wins more than they lose, and makes Saturday's fun again.
I really, really hope that Mickey's influence shows on game days. Wins would be great but noticable improvement would be huge in my books. I'm not sold on the "next big name'. Mickey is in the same boat that Dabo Sweeney was in when he got his chance.Makes me think back, and how there are so many words to describe what's happened here. They're all over the place. The main thing is that now we're hoping that Joseph can take these same kids and make them do different things by just enough to give us a winning season, otherwise why fire Frost at this point instead of letting him continue through October or even the rest of the season? Somebody expects something.
My expectations can't coalesce much right now as to the new coach coming in (IF a new coach comes in, T.O. and others are intimating that Mickey Joseph can do well here). If we hire a new guy for megabux then here we go again on the "next season" thing, lather/rinse/repeat.
I just don't know what to expect anymore. It'd be wonderful to have that Husker dream come true, wherein we see 9+ wins per season. But.........
I don't think Urban Meyer or any other top tier coach will ever come to Lincoln. Maybe you will get lucky finding an assistant coach who turns out to be the next Dabo Swinney. I had certainly never heard of him before he went to Clemson.
For Nebraska to reach the BIG championship game would be quite an achievement. To win the BIG championship would shock me.
