Trev finds an old, yellowed piece of paper in the AD desk , with scribbles and faint writing as if it were written in 2003.  “How to rebuild Nebraska football”…. 
1.  Hire unsuccessful former NFL coach after everybody says no.

I don't know - what do you think the Bama AD thought when he heard Miami fired Saban??    "Saban's a terrible coach to have gotten fired!!"  OR  "What an opportunity I have now that I didn't think was possible 30 days ago!!"     I'm not saying Rhule is Saban, but Rhule has a college track record as well that is impressive.  When Bama hired Saban, Saban wasn't yet "Saban".  He had one 1 NC but so have many - not many would become a legend.  College vs NFL - 2 totally different animals.  I'll judge Rhule by what he did on the college level.    With that said, Fickell would be a great hire.  

You mean the Saban who was 48-16 at LSU and had a championship under his belt at that point ??

yeah .. Rhule.. not even close.

I get your point.. but man Rhule is not an opportunity that arose unexpectedly. 

My point is that it seems the man with a plan maybe didn’t have a plan after all. 
except Mickey being a fall back to whatever arose.

If it comes down to Rhule or Fickell

 

Fickell — I understand the logic.

Rhule ??  Matt Rhule ??

ok, you’re Trev Alberts, the man with the plan, the next Savior in line at Nebraska, being trusted with the most important decision of your football life …. Chillin’ at home on 10/10 watching Sports Center and they say “Panthers fire Rhule today…”

a good 30 days after you fired Frost and now at that point you’re like “oh $hit.. I just found my guy !

Rumor heating up it is Matt Rhule after all….

All guesses.  Nobody knows.  Especially the annoying 1620 dudes who will all say , “yep that’s where my sources were leaning” after the announcement is made. 
 

edit:  And their “sources” are the very message boards that they make fun of on air.  1620 guys all say that they “cannot wait until this drama is over” yet they are the ones who spew all the drama.  

Fickell… hmm ok.

Rhule - he would be on nobody’s list had he not been fired.  Nobody here would have said, “yeah we should try to poach the Carolina coach..” 

These are the choices?   Keep Mickey then.

Super curious to know, in situations like Frost where he was essentially made to hire Mickey or in Wiscy where Jim Leonard was on staff beforehand and is likely to be named coach, how does the sitting/ former head coach feel knowing that they were undermined by a subordinate that worked directly with their boss to remove them from their job??

I have often thought of situations like this.. happens often in the corporate world.

Mickey was hired “off the street” and named Associate Head Coach immediately.  I think he was Trev’s plan all along.  Mickey is the next coach.. a good, safe and cost effective option if no better candidate is available.

Does anyone really believe that Trev and Mickey haven’t talked about this?

That would be a gargantuan elephant wooly mammoth in the room , everyday, every room ..

Trev:  Hey Mickey.. what’s up ?

Mickey:  Nothin’.

Both:  Welp.. see ya later !

How stupid are some of you ?

Sellout does not equal attendance.

Sellout = all tickets sold.

Doesn’t matter if it’s individual buyers, a corporation, a ticket broker .. sold is sold.

This isn’t being propped up artificially.. sold is sold.  

Some people would want Deion if he won 6 championships at a lower level.  

Many of us did not expect an announcement prior to the season’s end, but my guess is that if Trev’s choice was Mickey Joseph, he would have said so by now.   

Lock it up already.  Pointless thread.

I learned that...

 

• Creighton basketball is starting Monday

F-in Jayskers 

Is anybody’s blood just boiling right now about this absolute crap show that Frost was running ?

Chinander never deserved a P5 job , or Ruud or Travis Fisher.  The former offensive assistant clowns never deserved to be here either.

How did Frost leave this program in worst shape than Mike Riley ?

Just great that Frost and Chinander can run off with millions.  It just ain’t right. 

Yes, agreed — bad decisions in hiring head coaches, but also head coaches being given salary pools to hire the best assistant coaches around, but hiring their buddies instead.

Did you remember the Power Towel?

 

Bring it to every game

I’d be surprised if they come.  
That weekend is Alabama-LSU, Notre Dame - Navy

ranked Wake Forest at North Carolina

and those games seem more appealing.

I wouldn't rule out him being drafted if he continues to play like he has, but even if he doesn't, most guys are ready to get their pro career started, or at least take their shot. Especially QBs.

It’s tough to disagree with your take.  At first, I think there is no chance that he gets a shot.  But on second thought, I wonder how much better of a passer he could be with better line protection.

Thank you to the boosters who did this.

This streak is important.  Your grandparents, dads, moms, uncles, aunts and cousins, all your family and friends are a part of it.  Anyone on this forum who has ever been to a game, we are part of it.

Wins, losses, snow, heat.. man think of the memories.

And now, the program needs us more than ever.

We’ll all stick together, in all kinds of weather, for dear old Nebraska U.

No good from a game like this, other than taking kids to the game and cheap tickets on the secondary market.

Could any one of the Fordham players play 1st or 2nd string at NU? 
No.

So if that’s the case, practice will be harder than the game.

Hey OP-  

A first year staff at a perennial B1G doormat, with a backup QB and no real home advantage just schooled our staff who have been together for several seasons now.  We have regressed every year.  You’d be lying if you said Adrian now is better than freshman Adrian,.

 Who are the go to skill players ?? What’s our identity ?  What do we do well?  Do we still beat ourselves ?  In year 4 ??

Wake up OP , the panic is real and I see the strain.  

A 3-5 team does not belong in a bowl game, pandemic or otherwise.

With 50 bowl games in a typical season, we don’t need yet another amendment of the rules to further devalue the meaning of a bowl game.

The team votes to end the season?  Yeah...well there play reflects that.  
All bark, no bite.  Let’s hope for a better 2021.

That is the difference between Day and Frost.  Frost has no killer instinct. 

Easier to have “killer instinct” when you have a roster full of 5 stars
