In football, like all other sports, there are simple fundamentals that must be executed to win games. These simple fundamentals are blocking and tackling. I do not care how many 5 star QB's, RB's, WR's you have, if you can't block and you can't tackle, you simply cannot win. What does this mean? It means we need better players in the O line and the D line. Until that happens, don't blame any of the other players. Recruiting is a coaching responsibility. When you do not have quality position coaches, you will not have quality recruiting. Hiring friends as your assistants (or because they are from your home town) is just bad ploy, ask Bill Callahan. Actually, Callahan's teams could score points, but the defense could not stop anyone because of the D coordinator. Actually, just moving the same inept coaches to different coaching positions on your staff does nothing for your cause. Get rid of the dead wood and hire quality coaches, no matter what the costs. Are any of you so naive as to think the new D coordinator will up the level of this defense? Very bad choice. How about taking your wide receiver coach and making him your running back coach when he has never coached that position before! Bad Choice. It has been light years since we have had quality offensive line coaching, how about addressing that void? All of this is accountable to the head coach. Either make the moves that produce success or move on.
Simple fact is that until we recruit better linemen on both sides of the ball, we will continue to get our rears kicked in bowl games or against other quality teams during the regular season.
How do we fix this Nebraska team?
