Dogs In A Pile

Thompson didn't come here to spend his final year riding the pine. He will start against NW wherever the game ends up being played.

I think 5 wins gets Frost another year, possibly 4 wins if one of those is OU or Mich. 5 wins is a 67% improvement over 3 wins and will be used to justify retaining him.

Hopefully they there will be a competition between ALL the QB's and there isn't a predetermined starter already.

Unless things change drastically on the OL whoever is our QB is going to struggle. Although AM had his faults he saved our bacon countless times with his escapability. Nebraska position review: Offensive line.

Which is absolutely unbelievable if true. And hearing it from several people that would be in the know about it makes me tend to believe it is more than just rumor. In addition to his abysmal record that is just downright embarrassing coupled with the fact the program is at a point it hasn't been since Jennings was HC. That this type of dereliction of duty is allowed to take place on his watch is simply inexcusable.

OK Lawrence. A couple of decades ago I'd agree. But now, not so much. But let's talk about those two chicks that will do a guy at once

This kind of falls inline with what we have heard from others with close ties to the program. Unfathomable how this type of thing has been allowed to happen.

I don't know about that. From the polls I've seen well over 50% were happy enough with 3-9 & 15-29 to want to retain HCSF. If we went 3-9 I'm betting that number might go down some but their will still be a sizeable percentage of the fan base that will want to stick with him.

Recruiting. If the administration doesn't have enough faith in the head coach to extend his contract it is hard to convince a lot of recruits that he is going to be around through their time at the school.

I agree with this. What I'm guessing is: 3-9 or worse - Probably gone. But I said the same thing about 2021 and was dead wrong. You never know. 4-8 - An improvement which a lot of supporters will make point of so he just needs more time. Not sure Trev will agree though. 5-7 - Huge improvement will be pointed to. I think this is the make or break level and he will probably get another year. 6-6 - Goes to a bowl and will automatically get another year(s). Program back to where it needs to be. 7-5 - Will be hailed as a great turn around and will probably get an extension. 8-4 or better - Extension and pay raise.

You'd need Everclear served in 16 oz cups to take the edge off the last 5 seasons

I voted sub .500 again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 5 times, shame on me.

I wish the kid all the best and have no animosity towards him but I think this is best for both parties.

The question is can they actually win them? There wasn't a game in 2021 which they couldn't/shouldn't have won but they managed to find a way to lose all but NW, a G5 team and an FCS team. Will 2022 be different?

When you're tossing the ball around 50-60 plays per game like most think is going to happen not much need for a lot of RB's. Maybe he is an excellent pass protector out the backfield.

Kind of early since it is 7.5 months away for that. A lot can happen between now and then.

When Bennett missed that FG I felt just like I did when the 2 pt. conversion failed against Miami in the '84 OB. Whenever I see fans discounting kickers I always think of that missed FG that cost us another National Championship.

I don't know about that. In 1975 our opponents ran the ball 69.2% of the time so the teams we played must have been considered really pass happy if NU was a pass happy team.

75.3% in 1975 with Ferragamo at the helm.

3-9 & 15-29 tends to have a negative influence on people's outlook.

Nothing against the kid but with a 36.88 yd ave and none over 50 yd those aren't D1 numbers. # Punting NO YDS AVG LG TB FC i20 50+ BLK 40 Cerni, Daniel 16 590 36.88 47 2 7 6 0 0

Love it or hate it the portal sure makes things interesting. Since adoption of the early signing period normally this time of year would be extremely dead. Now, a day doesn't go by without at least one interesting move and usually more.

Now that's funny

Didn't seem to fit very well with HCSF's offense either since even when AM had a broken jaw and was hobbled by an ankle sprain he got zero snaps. That kind of tells me all I need to know about how much faith the staff has in him.
