Good talent with great coaching is the way to go. There are a few great players but most are about the same. You need a great coach to guide the talent. We had a string of very good running backs who ended up playing in the NFL because they had good talent and a great position coach in Ron Brown.

Well if we are going to lose our best recruits then it is time to announce this staff will be gone and we are in search of a new staff. Let the current staff finish out the year and just make it all official!

I'm not opposed to SF being our next coach but I'm not opposed to giving MR more time. He would need to change OC, OL, and RB coach for me to say it is worth the risk.

Please keep telling us that Frost is the only answer because your opinion is so important in every single thread about NU football. Participation is great but Frost is just a man. I know because I grew up near him.

I think he would do well here but I'm not going to claim he is the last hope. Or that my outsider wisdom is greater then those in control.

Last hope?? Just because a few internet posters think it is so doesn't make it reality.

It's a cry baby society.

Bye!!

Good to see a grown ups handwriting around here. Lol

Tanner throws a pick 6 again.

Personally, I want Riley to remain the HC and hire a proven OC and line coach. This OC needs to be a smash mouth running team with the ability to throw very well. I like Riley as the face of NU football and I think he has a good vision for the team. He can remain the process oriented nice guy but the OC needs to be hard nosed and passionate. I like Diaco a lot and I can see his defense changing as better players are brought in. We can't continue to change Head Coaches and expect to improve.

faith and honor held high

Is it possible we are saving Ozigbo for the conference games due to his bigger body? Perhaps the coach does not want to wear him out prior to these games.

I'm pretty sure the Irish helped with the building of the railroads. My ancestors did. They also never won a Big 10 title!

Yes, it looks like a tantrum !

If we should lose.

He describes it very well!!

I liked the video!

Good! Maybe Parsons will drop Alabama from consideration.

There are lots of ways parents give up power to their kids. Failure to physically strike them usually isn't the problem. And striking them isn't often the neat, clean piece of discipline you're trying to portray here. Key word I guess is discipline. Which means control. "Whipping the tar out of a kid" typically means losing control, not gaining it. You'd need to come back in a few years to determine if your little anecdote here was indeed a success. For the last 8 years I have worked as a social worker and have seen now both the law enforcement side and the social side. There is no doubt abuse takes place but refusing to control a child with the means of physically striking a kid is part of the problem in many households. Those who refuse to do it seem to have more arrogant or disobedient kids. Those that use it as an occasional means do well. Those that over use it end up with bigger problems than what they started with. My comment about whipping the tar out of the kid was also prefaced to that family and many others that there is a line between abuse and discipline. Which I mentioned above. I wanted to reassure the parents they they possessed control of the child and not a bureaucratic or legal society of know it alls. The kid needed to understand the chain of command when it comes to discipline.

In law enforcement I got sick and tired of parents giving away their authority to discipline a child. They would call me and say deal with my child and I would tell the parent depending on the situation to spank the kid because I couldn't and didn't want to live with them to raise their children. I had more than one mom say she didn't want to get in trouble because the kid always threatened to "turn her in if she touched her". Well I told her and the teenager that I would be the one responding to the call and I had no problem with mom whipping the tar out of the child for disobedience. In the end we stopped having trouble with that child. Mom had the power again.

Did you hit them in the face? Only if they used their mouth to be disobedient. I slapped them on the lips. I would never punch a child. A teenager...maybe in a rare instance depending on how "they" escalate situation.

I find it odd that people think hitting a kid as a means of discipline is a bad thing. I have not had to do it to my kids since they were young. I used it as a tool when they were young so I would not have to work so hard at disciplining them as they grew up. To me abuse is a systematic terrorizing of a person by using physical harm or intense mental stress. On the otherhand discipline is a setting of boundaries with punishment and reward for good behavior. With the Intention of loving guidance to bring about social obedience within the family and community.

I would drop the charges and pat him on the back for being a good dad. I was in law enforcement for many years and far too often kids don't get what is coming to them for their behavior. Society ends up suffering because of it.

I've gained a ton of respect for dad!
