Me?!?  I’ve been here forever and lurked for longer before that!  

I’ll attest to that. I’ve seen Huskinator post before. I’ve been on the board for about 5 years myself. Lived through the new admin and these stupid ads (still hate them!) I’ve also changed names once. 
 

most of the guys I talk to on here know me for posting silly crap and trying to have some fun. It’s all in good humor. However, this cycle is the first time I’ve had any actual intel on anything College football. My coworker’s nephew plays at LSU, so I had heard how upset the players were that MJ was leaving. The other is this connection to Rattler. Other than that, I’m just here for the jokes and the fooseball insight. GBR.

Uh what?!?  You’re replying to yourself?

Yeah, I got a few responses with some laughing emoji’s, so I’m having fun with it.

Rattler was never in Nebraska. He has not spoken to our staff. He was at UCLA today. This source is VERY credible. 

They’re all going to laugh at you.

Mom, is that you?

She said to tell you “No, but you still have laundry to put away.” I told her she shouldn’t be a hypocrite, since she’s always leaving hers on my floor.
 

(Sorry, it was a ball on a tee, and you can’t let that just sit there. )

I’d imagine Chip going back to Oregon would throw a wrench into that plan.

Yep!

Read on on one of the many Reddit-Rattler threads  that he’s  UCLA. Post was 45 minutes ago. Doesn’t mean anything, but that’s the first UCLA mention in a few days. 

The person with close connection to him is married into my wife’s family.

Per Sam- the UVA Special Teams coach Brumfield is no longer in contention for a spot on the NU staff.

 

ST Coordinator options include Busch and Sean Snyder.

 

The absolute home run would be Greg Knox from UF IMO (interim HC there currently) as he’s both a RBs and ST coach that has been long tenured in the SEC.

 

We’ll see.

HCSF… is that you? Thanks for setting the expectations, HCSF. Some on here may not like you, but I do. They’ll understand that you’re ahead of the curve with a small recruiting class and big transfer portal class this year. 247 sports has a new metric that others will begin to follow, but you already knew that. Knox will be a great coach. Thanks for everything you’re doing to rebuild this program here in real year one. It had to be hard to fire the drinking buddies, but we’re all really glad you did.

Our current QB’s plus portal, Chubba Purdy perhaps.

I have a feeling we’ll be in contention for a few QB’s

The Whipple hire does not signal a return to a Mike Riley style offense. This will very much be Frost's offense with a flair of Whipple. 

As well as better overall coaching of the offense. It’s going to be interesting to see if the offense accidentally runs into each other this off-season and decides to throw the ball around a little.  NCAA, in the event you read this… it’s a joke, you limp d!(k f#&% ups.

Who’s the big 12 transfer visiting this weekend? Front page of N 247 board

Not sure who that is, as I don’t pay for the site.. However, I’m hearing Rattler and TE Strogner from OU are making visits together now. This comes from a very credible source that knows they’ll be together at Mizzou in the next few days. I wonder if they also find their way to Lincoln around that same time?

He has blown up his staff and has turned the roster inside out and replaced about 90% of it.  Even after 4 years, it’s still very imbalanced.  The team can’t get better if Frost doesn’t both gather raw talent and then, over time, make them into experienced, veteran players. This is the most disturbing thing.  After 4 years of losing, we aren’t building the three deep chart with talent and game reps.  
I would be curious to see a snap / play participation chart for the true and R frosh and true sophs.  And then a list of roster turnover.  It seems like in 4 years we should normally turn about 30 annually 150 / 5 hrs = 30 x 4.  But I’m guessing it’s 200.!!  
 

Is it possible Frost has so many players, that he and the staff are spreading their time too thinly and not getting enough individual time to mentor, coach, encourage, train and teach each?    Guys probably don’t feel like a name, just a number (duplicate in fact) ?  And now we are reshuffling staff.  
Continuity is generally a good thing.  So much turmoil, instability, Covid shutdowns, etc.  

 

I would not be surprised with all the chaos and revolving doors, guys hardly have time to make good friendships and get to know campus, much less Lincoln and Nebraska.

Some pushback on the Mitch Sherman rumor.

 

 

 

Mitch needs a new nickname. Submit your recommendations on this thread.

My only comment here is that I don't think we've failed because of our system. In fact, I'm positive that we didn't fail because of that.

 

We lacked an offensive line that performs on the level of even Illinois' or Minnesota's, and honestly our running back room is probably not even on those teams' level, either.

 

Now if he wanted to sling the ball 55% of the game? Obviously Husker fans aren't going to like that.

Exactly. Top 25 in total offense is a good thing.

Is this what we'd have to listen to...Reeks of arrogance. How does he treat his players? 

 

 

I don’t see it as arrogant, BUT… can we call him Reek going forward either way?

Please explain something.  Is Harrell that bad or just thar he is a pass first coordinator?  USCs problem this year was Def. Not off.

I’m not sure why so many are against him. He’s not my first choice, but he’s a solid choice. To your point, USC’s defense ranked 89th in total defense this year. They definitely didn’t help the offense out. USC were 25th in total offense, right behind Nebraska. Georgia was 27th and OU was 28th for comparison sake. 

Here’s a fun comparison for you all. An article from 2014 with the top 15 OC’s in the country.

Here’s another more recent article.

It’s only 7 years and things have changed drastically. I’ll admit that I was surprised to see Harrell on this list. Yes, it’s an opinion piece… but he’s clearly getting some respect nationally.

I'd be in.

 

I just played 9 at Ute Creek in Longmont this past Saturday.

That’s a great course too! It was really tough for a guy who can’t hit anything accurately past a 7 iron.

I haven't yet, which is sad as I love to golf. Next year I hope to get out there. Mainly play at Mariana in Loveland.

Mariana is a great course. I played in the Olde Course Tuesday league a couple years ago. You @TheSker and I should play one day. I’m terrible, but it’s all fun.

I live west of I25 and avoid it like the plague so I go through Loveland and up on surface streets mostly.  Maybe 25 minutes or so it takes.

I25 is the worst. 285 is a much better drive. We take 285 to Longmont to see our friends quite a bit. If we’re going to Denver, we head east toward 85 and take that to i76. We’re in Windsor. Have you played the new TPC course in Berthoud yet?

Berthoud.  You guys are all over it.

That’s 30 minutes south of Fort Collins? How slow do you old guys drive? Hahaha!

They were under whelming across the board for sure.  And IIRC, a non staff member fixed his hiking issues.  It boggles the mind that Frost didn't see one side improving (and not just one guy or position) and the other not and have some concerns.  

 

And I do think Cam will get drafted.  Athletic, motor and teachable.

I honestly think, even losing some talent this year, that new offensive coaches help get this team to the next level. I’m serious when I say 9 wins next season. 

Go ahead, add the laughing faces. I’m putting my bet in for 9 wins.

I have no issue with Chin and the D development.  Not since 2018.  They have done a great job.  The ILB, pass coverage is suspect, but it can be improved.  So I have no worries there.  Our O has under performed in every category save TE play IMO.  QB?  Nope.  Revolving RB room?  Nope.  WR?  Again, nada.  OL? Nope again.  But the D, across all 3 levels yes.  Hence me quoting the HC turn around and Baylor and trusting a brand new OC to move a 2 year RB (who played very little) to be moved from his LB position (playing well) to be his bell cow RB.    

OL… yes Cam is going to be drafted. The rest of the offense I agree with. That’s why it was right to fire all of those position coaches.
