Bret is ambitious. He is not going to settle for 8 win seasons. He wants to compete for playoffs. He is a big ten guru and he knows how to outcoach coaches in the big ten. A program like Nebraska gives him a much higher visibility. I know a lot of people on this blog believe that Nebraska lost it’s allure but I still believe that coaching at Nebraska is as prestigious as coaching at Oklahoma or Texas and definitely way better visibility than Illinois. So, if he wants to upgrade, he will come to Nebraska. If he wants an easy task, he will stay at Illinois. I guess we will never know unless he is asked.

Illinois is a sleeping giant.  If they ever keep their talent in state they will be tough to deal with.

If offered the job, Bret would come here in a heartbeat and I hope he brings his defensive coordinator because he makes our defensive coordinator look like a peewee league coordinator 

Why?  He loves the AD at Illinois, they are pouring tons of money into the program, he is an Illinois native, and they are going to extend his contract.  If he wins 8 games a year in Champaign they’ll put a bronze statue of him outside memorial stadium alongside Red Grange.

Cool.  Do yall feel like yall gon win this game?

 

Just curious..

I think we have a chance but I take nothing fir granted.  At Nebraska, you guys habe talent and a raucous home crowd, and we’re due for a bad game.  Plus when everyone is singing your praises, it’s easy for college players to complacent.    So I am nervous.

on a side note, when I encounter Nebraska fans, either at football games or more often at volleyball games, y’all are so polite and courteous.  You’re easily my favorite opposing fan base.

looking forward to a good game Saturday.
