Years. So much has changed since Solich. Less local talent, fewer kids actually playing ball, talent pooling into the Southern states etc. Our greatest hope is Saben keeps coaching and drives kids out of the SEC

It's Minn.... They haven't won crap in 60 years...

Don't fire any of them. tell them if they quit it's for cause and they don't get anything. Make them stand there and live with what they've done.

They just smoked NU.... I dont blame them

What do you kids say nowadays... Sick burn bro? Is that still a thing?

You're so edgy and brave! It must be so hard being you, with all of your edgeiness and bravery .

Most people don't seem to understand, or even be aware of, this. HS player percentages are down, way down across most of the US. Even the Nebraska high school numbers are off by 20% from the peak in the 90's. Yet nationally, more kids are playing than ever, how is that? Those gains were realized in one place; The South. Long term this will forever change the landscape of CFB. Juggernaut programs like tOSU, Michigan, Norte Dame and Penn State will still roll on due to their access to local talent and higher profiles making it easier to pull in national talent, even then they will be in a dogfight for the Southern talent pool. Whoever comes here will have a massive uphill battle. They will need to stabilize the program short term, get NU back into the national discussion and keep it there, while establishing recruiting channels that can take years to pay off and in-between all of that win enough games to keep the fans happy, all while dealing with a long term demographic change that will produces less local & regional talent. Not saying it can't be done, it will take a very special and hard working person to make it happen.

Worked for the Gators!

Visited Glenfiddichearlier today. Forgot to pick some up for the game.

That was three years ago. Three years ago the Bama fan base was grumbling, then ole Nicky won him a natty.

You gloss over two decades of what was part of one the greatest dynasties in CFB history with that kind of statement? No. It was Franks program, I'm sure it took a lot for TO to remain in the shadows. What could Tom do to help recruiting "why hello young man, you won't be playing for me but I sure would like you to come to NU". What? Name any other AD without Google. I can think of one, DeLoss Dodd, only due to his unique name and the incredible job he did at UT, and he's retired. SE was correct insofar ADs should not really be known. Mmmmmkkkkkay.... Nebraska is a fishbowl, just like any other Blue Blood program. Overall, we actually seem to handle ourselves pretty well. I've yet to see anyone fly planes over games with banners slamming the coach (Tenn, Mich), possibly make death threats (Fla), or poison historic trees (granted that guy was a nutter but point still stands). If we get a new coach people will be critical, people will send messages and post how they think the new guy isn't cutting if for (insert reason here). I cant remember who said it at the announcement of SEs termination, it's when those messages stop, that's when we need to worry.

Highly disagree. I travel extensively for work with much of that in the South, when people find out I'm from Nebraska more often than not I hear "what happened to you guys?". From Florida fans that told me how Nebraska ruined their childhood with one game, too older Bama fans that tell me about seeing those Husker-Tide bowl games in the 60s and 70s. Outsiders love to hate us and they sure as hell respect us and our history. No. The perception was the power was permanently shifting to the Southern schools, mainly Texas, and things that NU had supported, like unequal profit sharing, was now deemed unacceptable since our slide into mediocrity meant we got a smaller share of the pie. The Big Ten offered long-term stability, more equality, more prestige and a much bigger payday. Consider Missouri literally had the Governor of the state championing them to no avail. We had Harvey, in a car, with a cell phone. To me, that shows the weight NU carries. There's no conspiracy to keep Nebraska down. There wasn't in the B12 and it most definitely isn't in the B!G. Having more teams compete at the highest level is good for ratings and National perception. Having one or two teams running the show will eventually weaken the conference, look at the SEC, with Bama pretty much a shoe-in for the SEC title and a playoff spot why go to any other SEC school?

Stop. I hope they do not, Tom has been trying to put time and space between himself and The Program for decades, let the man be, we need to move on from him and he from us, just let the man be.

I'd venture via the PAC12 connection, they should know each other to some extent.

Without the Stanford academic criteria to meet he could get guys that he normally needs to pass on, and I agree Stanford would hate crime us.

With a doubling in Big Ten payout this year I really hope this comes to an end.

IMO the field is wide open. I think Frost gets a seat at the table along with other qualified candidates. I think this hire shows they are serious about finding the right one for the job not just pandering to the masses. I'm a fan of Shaw and I think his flavor of football would play well here, he could turn down the intellectual a few notches and ramp up the brutality pretty easily.

ESPN just confirmed. Five years $1 million per.

Bring the Pirate with you! God it would be awesome, we can get him a ship at branched oak.... it'll be epic...

I gave up my seats because of this. I was in Section 26 and jammed in like sardines. I had seats 3&4, once when I arrived seat backs were in my space and some of 1&2 we had no place to sit. When the people from 1&2 arrived I they just looked dumbfounded. When everyone stood for the Anthem my friend grabbed the seat back and shoved them down making room. It is a joke. Heap onto that the people behind me that sold their tickets for most games and only come to one a year and bitch the entire time and it becomes a terrible experience. The expansion was a mistake, I don't think they understood the changing dynamics of the fans. Now that we have space, I agree, make it 75k and spread everyone out.

This is what I'm afraid of, the masses seem to want Frost we will do anything to make that happen. I want us to make an actual concerted effort to find the best fit, I have my dreams (Dabo) and those I think would fit perfectly (Shaw) but to just throw up our hands and toss it to Scotty is not right. Do the search, if Scott is the right guy great just dont give into the mases

1. HCMR was sold as the experienced leader that would turn us around immediately, not in the future. 2. We should expect victories and accept hard fought losses. No one should be shamed for honoring this program's past, it is among the very best in football, you can toss it aside if you want, I think most of us would rather keep it. Or better yet you can follow Iowa, they win games and have pretty much zero past and seemingly no expectations. 3. Kids are smart, they can figure out what goes on here, passionate fans that want their program to succeed at the highest levels. They can reach out and see that great past you seem to think doesn't matter. The Big Ten isn't very average, we have a top 5 team and two more in the top 10, seems pretty good to me. 4. A coach that lacks the ability to lead will never improve a program no matter how many practices they get. 5. Not really. The Big 12 hasn't produced a National Championship team in over a decade. You should learn the difference between fact and opinion.

Take it for what's it worth but my aquarium guy said it's White as well, should know by Wednesday.

No. We would ruin his season at UCF, it would also show a huge lack of respect on NU's part towards UCFs program and players.
