Judging from the original article, it might not have been voodoo brainwashing by Bo, like some claim. Rather, the lack of buy-in might have been more from Banker not having his sh#t together, and possibly a couple of other staff members as well.
And it's weird that a lot of this thread still took the time to bash Gerry. I am not saying Gerry was perfect as a Husker or a teammate. But, these players aren't stupid. If Banker and his staff didn't have their crap together, that blame goes to the coaches
Also, looking back at Riley's defensive staff that first year at NU, it is becoming more and more of a clusterf*ck. Hughes, Banker, and Stewart are all fired/gone. That's 3/4 of the defensive staff from the first year. Yet, the blame was put on guys like Collins, Valentine, Banderas, and Gerry for doing their own thing. It's probably more of crappy coaches having a crappy defensive plan.
That's because you're forgetting the biggest point. If we don't like the coach, everything is 100% the coaches fault and nothing should be blamed on the players. If we like the coach, we have to go out of our way to blame everything on the players.
This is so true!
