it wasnt just about any notion of TO actually coaching. Its the whole mentality. In order hit a home run here, we gotta be willing to cut ties from our history from an operational standpoint. Look forward not backwards. Like the Frost thing. Its still ridiculous to me in a way. Hes got significantly less experience as a coordinator than bo had. But hes a "nebraska guy and played here so..." Can not be thinking like that. Like i said. Embrace it. Just done live in it.
I don't think that anybody is really considering TO seriously. They're just engaging in hypothetical conversation. I really don't want to be argumentative, but in my humble opinion, "modernizing and revolutionizing" instead of embracing our former identity essentially is what has kept us in this mess for the past decade. A lot of us want to go back to the style of football that created all of the tradition that made this program great. Back to the future.
Embrace your history. Just dont live in it. That's gotta be the mantra of this coaching search. Let's modernize and revolutionize. Get back.Tom wouldn't be able to put in the necessary hours. As much as it stings to say it, this program needs to move on from TO.
This is a very good point. Scott is unproven and people look past that since he "gets it", I remember a lot of people saying that about Bo (myself included) but what ever "it" is, is intangible and of course changes depending on the product on the field, and the W/L column.

And I thought we'd escaped the godawful top 10 threads
This, and everyone wishing for the opposite of what they have. No energy on sidelines we want that. Energy on the sidelines, nope you are wasting your breath and not saving it for the field.
Didn't you go to Penn State, Hingle?
I did but I became a Husker fan while serving time at LCC for banging horses.

“They probably needed my vote,” he (Rand Paul) said, opposing Leahy’s bill because it would extend the sunset provisions for the laws authorizing surveillance.
Yup sure sounds like he doesn't give a crap about any of that...
Oh boy. You buy that, huh?
Says it right there, but since he has and "R" after his name he is telling a lie.
The bill needs to (or should) come up again, maybe he can get the bill he wants.

Unless it comes from Bo's salt-water aquarium guy, everything is just rumor
Take it to the bank, that guy was super legit... IBR needs to return with his stories of the inside...

Thats the only chain out there... Maybe a Burger King in Alliance or something...
Also Polo is wrong What-A-Burger is freaking amazing, at least the ones I've had in Houston are.

I have no clue. I haven't really cared until recently. I always thought the AD made the proper decisions. I guess I am naïve and wrong about that title and concept. Apparently one of the richer dudes has the most financial influence and also became a good friend of Bo's. Hawk or something? If I understand that correctly. Which tells me that a non-football guy with money is the reason why an average first timer head football coach is about to go into his 8th year here.
If I have misread something please correct me if I am wrong.
You are right, it was something like this, if you believe the stories. I guess a Regent from Omaha also runs Bo's charity, and a donor (Hawks?) stuck up for him last year. Yes the top donors can steer a program, if the AD needs a buy out and the money isn't there then no one is fired. When BC was canned I guess TO and others flew to Texas to smooth it over with a big donor that was a friend and supporter of BC.
To the OP as others have said the big time $$$ people dont really say much, they are in the circle and want to stay there.
-
Yall are right. Maybe you should just be the coach. Bet yall could win every game and give up 0 yards on defense
No, but I'm not paid $3 million a year to figure these things out. I can see issues, if you cant I'm happy for you.

Yeah, I'm sure the online petition is really going to be the tipping point for Eichorst. insert heavy sarcasm here
Maybe if it gets sent to him with a $10 million check. Anything else is just a bunch of people bitching on the internet.

Took him long enough to get there.
LOL.
Wasn't he one of the "Don't underestimate Tim Beck" cheerleaders who balked at any skepticism when he was hired?
Oh well. Bygones be bygones. For anyone yet to join us in reality, there is no more rope for this staff. If Bo wants another uninspired season in front of a hostile fanbase, at the very least it's housecleaning time on that worthless staff to grant him the privilege. He could have hired a team of fratboys with "How to Coach LittleLeague" pamphlets––which is what this looks like in the offseason as well––and the results could not have been this disastrous.
If Bo gets another year based off the W/L record, it's hard to argue the AD made the wrong call. But let's just be real clear about what this means: this team, basically identical, except for Ameer Abdullah.
Problem is we are not representative of the Husker fan base. My FB feed has people "well it was snowing", and "Cant blame Bo, the kids didn't perform". They either cant or wont see a problem, that is a large chunk of Husker Nation.
EDIT: A lot of people just dont give a crap any more. once the rout was on how many just turned the channel?

All this thread does is hurt recruiting, and because of this thread no other coach will ever come here... EVER...
Please...cause blowout losses on National TV over and over, a coach with a reputation for being a jerk, obvious poor coaching and it's Huskerboard banter that pushes the recruit away...
Please <insert recruit's name> don't leave! We're really the best fans in football deep down. We just sometimes get a little sad when we lose really bad....again...
Should of put the

I truly amazes me how we go from praising a coach to wanting him fired in a matter of hours. Greatest fans in college football.... Yeah right.
Shut up.... Come back when you have a real argument..

Watched Snowpiercer last night. Dystopian flick about all of remaining humanity riding around and around the globe on a train. Mostly about the caste system on the train, which I guess is a metaphor for the caste systems in society. It was an okay movie. Quite unique. But the engineer in me just can't dismiss the implausibility of a train continuing to operate for 20 years with no outside maintenance.
I like this as well, is was pretty enjoyable, and a lot of the characters were pretty bombastic, it had some majot plot holes but overall the story moved at a good pace. I like how the level of decadence went up as they went forward, and the highest level was actually being alone. Although I find the narrative of rich= evil, and repressive; poor=repressed, exploited and somehow inherently noble/moral to be getting old..

I actually think the blowouts are helping to form one
Only from one side. We hate Wiscy because they destroyed us, the dont give a crap about us because they destroyed us. If it gets balanced with blow outs and hard losses and dreams ruined year in and out then it will develop. Heck the way the B1G is going they wont be in our division in four years.
I think it's misleading to say that Wisconsin fans don't care about Nebraska. Certainly they see NU as a natural geographic rival and one of the biggest threats in the West each year. The makeup of the old Legends and Leaders was sort of jumbled and hard to establish rivalries in, but for the most part, the West is shaping up to be a fun division where rivalries come naturally.
I'm sure they care enough, just not to much to consider us a rival when two out of three games has been heavily in your favor. NU-CU was a made rivalry, we owned them to the tune of 49-18-2 or something.. They got a little better at the end, but most fans would never say they were a rival, the fans were jackasses, that is what fueled most of the "hate" towards them..
I do agree down the line Wiscy Huskers could grow into a great rivalry, but it will take years of hard fought battles and heart break on both sides to truly cement it.

The min wage going up is a good thing. If you look at who is doing the most crying about it, it is not the small businessmen. They don't tend to pay min wage to very many employees in the first place. Now Walmart, Kroger, Hy-Vee, McDonalds, Burger King are the ones taking the hit. And I don't feel sorry for them one bit. Anyone who claims to dislike Government assistance should be all in favor of it also. The giant companies are getting away with tax payer subsidies on their wages by paying min wage(which no one can live on) and, in many cases like Walmart, encouraging their min wage workers to apply for assistance. I am sick of subsidizing greedy companies who are too cheap to pay their workers a wage they can live on.
Meh those jobs are on life support anyway. Jack in the Box has kiosks for ordering, McD's and the rest will follow suit as well. As for Walmart, and those large companies, self check out and switching from the bar code to RFID will do away with most of those jobs as well.

Why are we so obsessed with border control? The US has had largely open borders for most of our history, and there's plenty of evidence that open borders help the economy. So why are Republicans going so crazy over people immigrating from Mexico? Why aren't we concerned about the Canadian border?
For myself, I am a people person. Heard of the train of death? Seen the people dead from dehydration? Women trafficked, and sold into the sex trade? Border towns where murder/rape go unreported? The Illegal with no recourse for an employer not paying wages, or afraid to report crime because of his status... That's what I want to stop, if they want to work here, fine, start a guest worker program so they can easily enter the US with full rights and protections.
Although I am not a Republican....

Would I be correct in these assumptions for Nebraska's (admittedly long) CFP hopes:
1. Generally speaking we want the underdog to win and win big.
2. In teams ranked above us at the time of the game, we'd prefer scenario 1, but almost as good (even better?) for the losing team regardless of ranking to get utterly blown out so they fall past us in the rankings?
I'm sure there are a couple exceptions, where we want a team to stay ranked well until a specific game. But those will probably change weekly for our hopes to stay alive.
Please correct any bad assumptions I have.
Also, I hope we keep this thread updated weekly with best outcomes for the Huskers. Of course, we have to win out along the way, the bigger the better. I harbor hope that we can do so, but won't be disappointed if we don't. The team has generally played as well as I hoped thus far into the season.
Best wishes,
Flood
I think you are right. The Domers will drop below us, and if the A&M game keeps this way I kinda see Auburn dropping as well. I want Sparty to win, that way if we make it to the conf champ they should be ranked very high.

I'd never coach here. At almost any program outside of a few you'd be carried off the field with 8 wins even 6 wins and making and winning a bowl. I think we have done pretty well for being a low population state with a cold climate. Wisconsin has never won a championship. We'be won 5. Minnesota has won 6 but hasn't' won since the 60s
-
Why am I being attacked for saying we'll beat 2 unranked teams and a team at #25? Minnesota lost to Illinois and have up 38 to Purdue and won by 1.
Because you post these one line threads, and you have basically the same thread only a few down from this one. You are clogging the board, use the status update...

Here we go. Its BC vs Us/TO all over again. As it was then it probably is now: A loss next week means you are gone. The media will fuel the flames, no one will have his back, the drum beat will take a toll on the players, all feeding the collapse.
