I highly doubt that. It was in a Washington Post article and Clay Travis lead that revolt at Tennessee. OSU does the co-coordinator thing on offense and defense because most of their coordinators only stay for 2 years before they get a HC job (or in Tim Beck's case shipped off to somewhere else). There are rumors of a 2 year commitment when taking a coordinator job at OSU under Meyer. Meyer has stated he wants motivated coaches working under him that have the desire to be a HC. It is the nature of success. The Schiano hire was never supposed to be a long term solution at DC.

What will Urb do tho if after 2 years neither have a Power 5 offer?  They could probably go FCS but would likely make more $ staying as a coordinator.

If they keep on winning, I guess he will keep them around. I am guessing that someone will end up taking a chance on them sooner or later. 

If its so rigged, scripted and predictable who will the NBA be placing in the finals? 

Just my opinion...Boston and Houston are not nearly as marketable as Cleveland/Golden State round 4.  Houston and Boston will both be ahead at halftime but the Cavs and GS will both squeak out wins.  It will be marketed as whether LBJ is playing his last games in Cleveland and what Klay Thompson will do in the future.  Will the Cavs be fired up and ready to accept the challenge or will GS sweep in 4.  

No kidding.  Every time I turn on an NBA game I know one of the teams is going to beat the other.  The team with the better closers usaully wins.  There will be some questionable calls. I will question what really is traveling. Shaq and Chuck will make me chuckle.  Van Gundy will have a problem with rules and officiating and I will witness a couple feats of athleticism that makes me mouth curse word.  

Still a ten times better product than college bball.  

I'm pretty sure MJ said his mom had come to Lincoln.

When I heard the interview on the radio I heard Mickey say "Ajay's mom came and he's back home" which to me said he was back in his home town with mom. It sounds like he is back in his apartment in Lincoln.

I thought he was from Missippi,,  but they come to Linkedin

Holy sh#t I didn't know he was that old.

Chuck Norris doesn't shave. He glares at the facial hair and it falls off.

Maybe......if the razor company was Stihl or Husqvarna.....maybe.

More than ours I bet

Probably not. Obviously we haven't heard from DR himself to see what his story. The story didn't say anything about him playing at NU and it probably won't be a national story with legs.

But only former Huskers that play for Detroit, for some reason. Maybe it's the Lions and not us?

McCoy wasn't "poor"

Our quarterback position has been an issue. We need better production, including less turnovers from our quarterback(s).

I know, but McCoy wasn't a big time recruit. Pretty unheralded.

I am telling you...this is the new "thing" they are basically cashing a lottery ticket...good for them!

I was calling schefter that...

I don't think Schefter was pointing out that he got overpaid. He just got out fast. Seems like a smart move. Although he missed out on potential millions, given his production.

I'm not really judging them. Sadly these problems are endemic to most colleges and universities. When it happens to the school you root for it just seems bigger.

Fire them all!!

Brian Kelly just kicked one of these guys who was their starting safety btw off the team.

Was it the same one that was circling the dead gopher that lays atop Trump's bald head?

Clearly the fly paid to be whacked.

We really need positive rep point ability for status updates. +++

While I think (and hope) our recruits will hold on, they will have to poach someone to fill his slot. On another note I find it odd that 5 star recruits are taking OV's a week before signing day.

Do you think that some of the WR recruits can pack 200 lbs on them so we can have some linemen?

5' 9" and 350 lbs might not be exactly what we want :-) but it's a thought!

Saw a couple pictures on Facebook. 1/3 of the damned crowd was playing with their phones.

That might have been when the band said to "light" your phones to honor the lead singer of "Asia" who passed away in January. I'm ok with 80% of the original band and a new lead singer who does very well with the vocals. Sadly Steve P's time has come and gone. Few 80's bands continue with the same lineup.

I liked the 3 albums that were released prior to Steve Perry's arrival. If you listened to them you would ask yourself is this the same band?

Well, poop.

So he committed to a group of coaches incapable of winning anything and then decommitted when we brought in the hottest coaching staff in the country, fresh off a 12-0 season and a Coach of the Year award. I get that recruiting is based in personal relationships, but it seems odd that some of these kids aren’t more interested in COMPETING, WINNING, AND CHAMPIONSHIPS. 

You are going to move away from your family for the first time in your life.  As a kid that's a big deal.  To now have everything you know about the place get blown up makes you reconsider - we can say "it's the school not the coaches that you commit to" but that is bunk.  When staff leaves that throws not only the recruit but his family into turmoil.  Mom and dad approved of the guys that spent the last two years visiting and calling.  Now they're gone, but these other guys who have been calling and visiting for 2+ years (A&M coach, though at different school) are still around - our record wasn't great, but the previous staff did a good job getting recruits and their families to buy into being a part of the change.  Kid's now going far away to be with people that he's never gotten to know (who he's maybe never spoken to).  To say these kids that change their minds aren't interested in competing and winning is just ignorant.  They (and they're families) are doing what is best and most comfortable for them.

The refs are terrible but Missouri is playing like crap too

Mo had their chances but give Texas some credit.  They came to play at least as well as they are capable.  The Texas punter did his job.

I’m just jealous. I can’t stand Texas. Lol

"NU receives 13 percent of the state’s general fund, but is being asked to take roughly 34 percent of the total cut being imposed across state government."

http://journalstar.com/news/local/education/nu-announces-m-in-phase-one-cuts-includes-faculty-academic/article_2f2bfe09-7d99-5fd6-944e-66c7668345f7.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-2

Texas is getting hit hard as well. It's not a great time for higher ed. 

The truth is this is not unique to Nebraska, however, it does seem to be unique to states that currently have a sitting Republican governor with Koch brother support. Walker has done a real number on the University of Wisconsin system. Why is this bad? Becuase the university systems in rural states tend to be one of the most important economic drivers within a state. Not only do they train the next generation of workers, but they also provide valuable resources to farmers, ranchers, small businesses, and more. Diminishing the University systems to correct self-imposed budget shortfalls will overall weaken the state's economies and opportunities for future growth, as well as encourage, rather than discourage, the "brain drain." That rural states are already facing. 

I'm not saying we haven't had problems with our OL holding.  Replay shows that most are legitimate.  The stat that I wanted to draw attention to was our opponents not getting called for holding on a pass play in 22 games.  Todays offenses don't just pass on third down.  Granted many offenses get the ball out quickly before there is much engagement.

No I agree, the refs has been pretty gun shy to flag our opponents, especially on holding.  It seems that when in doubt they flag us if it's questionable but opponents get the benefit of the doubt and they "let em play".

Rutgers got called for a late hit on thorson that looked exactly like the hit on Martinez last week when he slid. Not saying we don’t deserve some/most of the calls we have, but more and more it feels like refs are calling things differently with us vs our opponents. 

Has Rondale ever played against us?  I might be wrong but he has been injured every time right?

Ron Dale played against us in 2018 in Lincoln. He did not score and wasn't the leading receiver for Purdue. The Boilers won 42-28

I'm also happy to see Hopkins their TE in the pros.  That guy killed NU the past 2 years.  Zero answer for him.

Yay!!!

Marshall beat Notre Dame.

I love this too. ND is over rated and now everyone else knows it too!

I'll need to power wash the downstairs bathroom tomorrow.

The cleansing is the worst. The pain...the pain...

Dr found nothing so all is good for 10 more years.

How can you not love sweet tea?

Yeah, there's a reason there are stereotypes about the South.

Some of those sweet teas down there are more sugar than tea

Theyre dealin with it. Just waiting for google to confirm some other sites before the warning can come down.

right on...

I always knew those celeb boner pics I hid in the woodshed would come back to hurt us somehow.

Maybe Ryan Seacrest can produce a TV series about it. Sorry, there are just some things we don't need to accept as anywhere near normal.

How come she isn't suspended for a season for domestic violence?

freak show man

I was just thinking the same the other day. All the time they interview athletes, ask stupid questions, athletes don't play along with their stupidity and they blame the athlete for a bad interview. I don't know how they have jobs.

Can't listen to it. I listen to The Ticket in Dallas now. ESPN chose poorly in replacing Cowturd.

Is there something about the east coast mentality (in this case Miami) that their humor works there? I don't see it working in the midwest or west coast. And what is the deal with Stu Gatz and the Italian accent?

I would expect us to get involved in the bidding war. The key point is where does MP want to work.

Hopefully with the guy who literally invented S&C. Large paychecks help too.

Not gonna happen. LSU has one of the best S&C coaches in the business in Tommy Moffitt.

Easton Schlick is good

Good catch SW! I typed that as I was headed out and was too lazy to check it.

Eastern Schtick?

Someone either needs to be let go from the current staff or they will need to wait to hire Wilson until the NCAA makes a decision on adding a 10th coach in April.

Tim Beck left to go to Texas. I would think the QB coach would be less important than an OC and he would be the one waiting.

Did you see JT Barrett throw the ball the last few games? At this point in time I think a QB coach is one of the most important people on the staff. I have to imagine that OSU is doing due diligence investigating Wilson's past. Also, they still have Ed Warinner, the current OC, on staff. The last time OSU lost to Clemson they made staff changes like this and the next year they won the NC. I am not saying they will win it next year but they saw a problem and they are attempting to fix it.
