OTBS, we are a consistent team...

At this point, Eichorst's job is similar to Osborne's in early-mid 2007. He needs to take the pulse of the boosters and recruits week-to-week, because if it reaches the point where the staff loses all forward momentum, that's when it's time to make changes.

 

 

Don't forget we have been here before. Last year, even. And the year before.

 

 

Bo didn't lose the team in 2011.

 

He didn't lose the team in 2012.

 

The season still has 9 regular season games to go.

Yes by all accounts lets just continue this trend. I'm cool with being embarrassed nationally each year just so we can claim the imaginary 9 win season trophy.

You know what 9 wins amounts to? It amounts to "Congrats your the 2nd or 3rd best team in the B1G, a conference that the nation knows blows with the exception of OSU" That really makes recruits want to come here.

It doesn't matter if you got all the 5 star guys in the country if your coach is going to keep giving up. We need changes. This year...or sooner

2 things...

We have a relatively new AD, who probably isn't looking to make waves with his new job. As much as I hate it, he will not be the one to fire Bo or make any coaching changes.

We need a coach (and staff) who have balls. Who won't let off the pedal with 6 mins left in the half and try and be conservative every end of every half. We need a coaching staff who on 3rd and long with 1 mintue left in the half and the other team has a timeout left, won't just concede by running the 3rd failed rush play of the series, but at least attempt a pass for a first down while our passing game was still working. We need a coach that realizes he has another very valuable tool in the cupboard for our running game and if option A isn't producing at a point in the game then put in option B and who is averaging about 8-10 yards per carry. (Pelini did it 2-3 yrs ago with Helu and Rex, why not try it again since it worked back in the day?) We need a coach who will adapt to change and make adjustments. But most of all, we need a coach with a set of cojones!!!

Like it a lot... But I would think having the dates red for home and white for away would be cleaner than labeling it like it is.

That's funny...there were a bunch of our former players (NFLer's) that were tweeting about this during the game.

1.we are really bad at playing from behind, notwithstanding that osu game last year.

2. we have a lot of talent at our skills positions and i am worried they will be wasted because of our o-line and defense.

Seconded! Our lines killed us.

 

 

If we want peleni head on a platter, who do we want ???

 

I hear there's an up-and-comer named Frank Solich that has a pretty stout Ohio team in the MAC...

 

...regardless, if we're going to warm Bo's seat, we need to make sure we know the name we want. An aimless mob mentality got us Callahan and Pedeyshine last time...but I'm starting to think there may be something to what Jason Peter has been saying.

What's Jason Peter been saying?

I have learned/confirmed that Nebraska is a job training program.

 

I have learned/confirmed that Nebraska does not have the quality of coaches they deserve.

 

I have learned/confirmed that Nebraska has failed terribly on recruiting, or is afraid to use the young talent, that still has desire to win, but losing it setting on the bench or in a Red shirt year. I saw 8 true Freshmen start tonight for a team most felt was far below us.

 

I have learned/confirmed that our coaching staff is not capable of leading, teaching or motivating talent. That this staff was capable of making prior recruits prosper, not the ones they recruit. Back to the Solich years.

 

Nebraska is a top 5 program, or were at one time. This program deserves top of the line coaching, from head coach to all the assistants. It may be time for Coach Osborne to move on as he is against spending money to further the program on the coaching side. We need an aggresive AD, like the ones in the SEC, as this is the sport that pays the bills. Many problems with this program, and it is far from the kids playing the game.

 

Start blaming the problem, not the results of the problem.

 

Winners make real money in College football, and not just the head coach. Bama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Oregon pay more for their head coaches than we pay our whole staff. Changes need to be made if we want to be an elite program. Nothing could be farther from us being that now.

AMEN- My thoughts exactly! See my prior post, but if we don't do what is working for the current stud teams...then we will never be in that category.

Also, how can Martinez put in so much time in the offseason to change his ways and get better, but our coaches can't do the same? Bo needs to go to the Sean Payton or Bill Belicek camp in the off season.

My questions/observations FWIW:

1. Why does our D-Line line up 1-2 yards off the ball, then not move forward when the ball is snapped? We lose all that ground each play (hence the reason everybody cuts us for 3-9 yards a run)

2. Not one player on our team is to blame for this loss themselves. They ALL were horrible. But let's hope Pelini doesn't go nuts on them for this absolute let down. We've seen him punish these players before after a disgusting loss. It just demoralizes them and they don't play worth a shi* the rest of the year.

3. Pelini is riding on thin ice. Maybe not with the university, but he has to be with the fans. Examples:

a. How many stud recruit players have transferred (or left) from the program under his tenure? I can think of multiple players in just this past off season (Green, Moore) His

coaching style is not conducive to this generation of college kid.

b. Hiring from within the program (or your personal friends) is not the answer. Papuchis, Beck, Cotton- These guys will never lead us to the national standings that we desire.

c. The defensive scheme has been broke down and understood by all FBS teams throughout the country. There is not one team in the country at this point who can't put up

decent numbers against our D. Not un-Godly numbers, but decent numbers. Our defense can't always be the tortouse and the opponent be the hare. That trick only

works once.

4. Our players continually fall back to basic problems (year after year) with poor takling, bad decisions under pressure, horrible blocking, etc...

I don't have any answers, and I definitely couldn't do any better...but there is somebody out there who can. Multiple people who can (see Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, Les Miles, etc.) This game has changed so it's time we do too. We have to use what the other's do to get the job done. We have to stop trying to coach the way we always have and match up with what the champs do. (I know that means recruiting changes too) Sometimes it isn't so bad to see how champions are doing it and replicate that process.

This game was a major black eye to our team, university, conference. Unless things change somehow, we will have to accept the fact that we will NEVER be a powerhouse team again. EVER.

My apologies if this turns out to be nothing. Greg Sharpe is tweeting that Bo was involved in a car accident tonight on the way to Omaha. Bo is fine. Car isn't.

 

More news as it comes forth.

Sean Callahan retweeted it too. Good thing Bo didn't get hurt!

I'm only 5'10"....anyone wanna buy me and my whole family tickets in the club seating? We are a short crew so it's all ok! LOL

Oh Sd'sker you know you be haten on T-Magic everytime you get a chance! LOL

Here we go!

Based on the coverage by ESPN, he must've picked us!

Based on the coverage by ESPN, he must've picked us!

LOL!!

WTF ESPN?

C'mon ESPNU go to the coverage!

C'mon Peat, jump N!!!!

Zoogies...you shut your dirty whore mouth! LOL J/K It would be so tough to pass up, but I can feel his pain about not playing with big bro too. I have a bad feeling that he goes with Stanford as he tries to do something new and on his own. I PRAY I AM WRONG!

Let's get him now!!!

Is there a link to this live thing?

Boom goes the dynamite!

I would guess it's just a moderate-bad sprain. There's no need to bring him back in to return kicks when he can't go full speed, especially when we have Burkhead and Turner. Let him heal so he can bust another big one when/if we really need it!

So my initial reactions through and after the game was that our defense is horrible (albeit we have a young and inexperienced secondary without Dennard). But after hearing Pelini's post game comments I am scratching my head a little. Here are a few quotes:

"I didn't call a great game in the fourth quarter," he said. "I thought they were going to come out and start throwing the football, so I kind of turned the defensive linemen loose a little bit and was like, ‘OK, go ahead, run the ball.'

"If we would have tackled better, I thought we could just use some clock. I didn't really care about the points at that point."

"They put us out of position at times. They gave us a lot of things that were different, that we weren't quite expecting. But, yeah, tackling was better. I thought we responded well early."

"I thought they kind of had us reeling a bit early. I thought some of our young guys got a little bit out of sorts. But then I thought we settled down. I thought we did a good job up until early in the fourth quarter."

and Bo went so far as to say that we had them guessing all day against our offense.

Call me crazy, but is this not one of the most non-negative comment laden press conferences for such a lack luster performance (I know it should be positive, but does Bo ever really give a positive press conference?)

Usually you hear Bo tearing up the team on a performance like that. I don't know what it is, but I just got a hint of confidence from this. Does he know something we don't, like not giving a crap about points in the forth quarter? I don't think one of his and Carl's defenses goes down so much in a year from a few inexperienced positions. Maybe...just maybe...he is having the D play as low key as possible right now so we don't have a huge bullseye on us coming into the Wisky game. I know I am drunk on the Kool Aid right now, but it's fun to have conspiracy theories!
