Ahhhh, the GOP is only getting the minority racist vote.   Gotcha.   Just the 15-18% of black voters who hate other blacks huh.    And those racist 40% of Hispanics.   Geesh 

What the hell is a "minority racist vote?"

Harvest ballots in the same way Dem’s have gotten great at.   Very little oversight with this and there probably will never be.   These are votes that are being lost and ceded to the Democrat side. 

Harvesting Ballots?  What do you describe as "Harvesting Ballots?"

You're not wrong.

 

An even bigger part of the problem is people shooting other people with guns.

That happens?

You're going to need a TLDW version.  I can't imagine many folks are going to want to watch 83 minutes of some guy in the woods.

 

I'm looking for many ways to get out of work.  This ain't one! 

Unfortunately, that's part of the problem.  Everyone wants the cliffnotes version and they gloss over the nuances of the issue.

Being a firearm owner (and one who thinks sensible gun laws should make, well, sense), I watched this and had agree with a lot of points this guy has.

It's a long video, but hang in there.
 

I want to have an actual conversation about this, sick of going back and forth about it.

A knock on him down here in Louisiana is that he wasn't smart enough to be a head coach and couldn't handle all the problem solving and complex thought processes and little Xs and Os needed to be successful. Guess we'll see.

Not smart enough.  This coming from the state who had Coach O (I love the guy) as their head man. 

He isn't exactly the example of sounding like Einstein

A recruit coming out of HS is very different than a guy coming out of college after being in a S&C program for 3-4 years and playing FBS ball.

Very true, but you first have to have a foundation to build upon.  I watched the Buckeyes play the other night, they had this all world tight end that was straight schooling Wisconsin.  Found out that the guy came to school and has played three different positions since he's been there.

He was that good to play all the positions, though.  A good foundation can create some good looking buildings.

Let's do a test here:

Look at this definition of what folks think a DE should be coming out of HS:

https://www.gobigrecruiting.com/recruiting101/football/positional_guidelines/defensive_line

Now, go look at this guy's stats.

DE Recruit #1:

At last year's NFL combine, DE Kayvon Thibodeaux out of Oregon (6'4", 254) ran a 4.58 40 and benched 225 for 27 reps.

I'm not one that is big on numbers (cause they can't tell heart), but according to the link above, the first person above is as good as a group of five/FCS defensive end.

Hey, Coach Cook can talk all the ish he wants to.  He is one of the most decorated coaches in NCAA history.

Anybody who watched this, knows what happened on the field later that night:

Leipold? You can't be serious. I'd just stick with Joseph and get a good DC in that case.

I will continue...after years and years....to put a plug in for this guy to be tied to this program's coaching staff

And for those whining about Chin and Frost getting fired.....

Herm Edwards fired at Arizona State as well.

This is why I don't see the check book coming out for Urban.  Who can say he won't come here,  take a paycheck, and end up going to Notre Dame or such team after one or two years?  Sure he might get us back to maybe 6 wins in year one, but this job right now is not Ohio St or Florida.  He won games at those two stops easier.  He didn't inherit a team that needed to win 6 games.  It is much easier to take a 6-7 win team and win 8-9 games and look like a savior.  I agree, he is a really good football coach, and I would maybe give him a try, but to think that this job is as easy as going to Ohio St or Florida is so misleading.  Even Utah has some instate recruits that are really good. 

I wouldn't say that Urbs wouldn't be good here right off the bat.  Guy can coach at the college level, and he gives instant name recognition.  This whole "Recruits won't come here" excuse has always been BS to me. 

Kids are going to go where they think they can win games and get boosted to the next level.  Last time I checked, places like Starksville, Eugene, Pullman, and Lansing aren't the best stops to go to for things to do.

Urban turned Utah into a powerhouse, and did wonders at Bowling Green.  That being said, I think he's past it, personally.

It’s difficult for good coaches to coach with and for other coaches that are neglectful in the area of accountability too. If the superior doesn’t give much of a damn to hold people accountable (including or him/herself)  those acting on their behalf are going to have a hell of a challenge doing it themselves.
 

Bosses can have cordial, even loving relationships with their subordinates. Friendships however is a bad idea. Keep it professional.

 

You’ll get no flames from here. Everything you shared has great relevance!

Thanks - I'm just fed up.  We're four games into the season, and the season is already over in most people's minds.  It's ridiculous.

I comment on other fan boards and even they are scratching their heads at some of the decisions made.  How the last two ADs can give an extension to a couple of head football coaches who have done nothing to deserve it.  How guys were allowed to keep their jobs after abysmal performances on the field.  How undisciplined the football team is on gameday.

By gawd, this is NEBRASKA.  We're a college football blue blood for crying out loud.

We were once Conan, strong, mighty warrior:

But hubris got the best of us, and we were captured and caught at Thulsa Doom's place.

We were placed on the Tree of Woe, and all the teams and places around us are picking at us like vultures.

I'm waiting on us to get tired of the ish, bite the hell outta those vultures...

Get offa the tree, and come back mighty as heck

The issue with the culture down there in Lincoln is beyond the football team.  It's infected the staff.

Nepotism, "good ol boy" network mess. 

Show me the results based job in which you can be MEDIOCRE (at best), HORRIBLE (at worst), get paid millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and still keep your job?

It is past time that folks start putting their feet down, boots up people's arses, and stop giving out these free paychecks.

At this point, we need to be worried about weekly expectations first.

This team is hurting right now.  Anyone that watched games last week saw A&M fall, Bama get taken to the brink, and other teams got tested.

OU is no different. If this team does what they can do, then they have a shot to beat them this weekend.

I was on a flight from Denver to Phoenix for work in the January after Vance got fired as Broncos head coach.  Vance was sitting in first class, as he was headed to Phoenix to start his job as Cardinals DC.

I'm rootin for Coach.  I'd love to see a former Husker have success here again at the level we're expecting.

Could you imagine if the guy did pull out a win against OU?

Also during the presser - it's painfully obvious that tackling was not a priority for the defense during practices....he mentioned it more than a few times.

I plum darn forgot about Vance Joseph, LOL

If Mickey somehow keeps the job, you best believe someone in Arizona is getting a phone call quick like.

Anyone who doesn't think that there still isn't a talent gap between Nebraska and their opponents - just look at the line of scrimmage.

How can you have ZERO push constantly on the front?  How can you blitz guys and still not get home consistently?

The transfer portal was supposed to shore some of that up, but....

Well, Frosty is gone, the team is 1-2 with a couple horrible looking losses, and OU is coming into town.

If the whole "No fear of failure." ever would have applied, it's now.

We were going to go 1-11 with Frost at head coach. It was the right move. The only better move would have been moving on last season.

He should have fired the ENTIRE staff last season.  Including the Best Man in the wedding....

Frank Solich when he was fired:

"Till you do right by me, everything you do is gonna fail...."

Team ain't been the same since, LOL
