your description is too much to ask for... in sort, yes. a multimillion dollar project is usually too much to ask for. itd be cool tho

i second cornholio. what else would we talk about right now? i just walked by the practice field and it was surprisingly vacant

i know im not talking about a big job like michigan, but even with miami ohio or any of those other schools shaun watson was rumored to be a candidate.

its weird know that they offered bo at least a chance for an interview. its kinda a slap in the face to us. "well nebraska's no good so you might be able to come to michigan, if we like you enough that is."

just heard joe shad on espn. he said michigan had a strong interest in hiring bo for their vacant job but he turned them down recently. my question is wheres the love for carl? im surprised he hasnt been thrown into any of these head coaching talks yet

clearly not landing harbaugh is making them delusional.... the events that would have to take place for that to happen would be sufficient enough to be the plot for a "butterfly effect" sequel.

you could go through all the numbers in the world but the only thing that matters is that he keeps winning. @corncraze: yes i know. he'll be at lsu until he starts losing. but that may only take one season

Not hard to take serious at all. For some reason, 95% of the Husker fans think Pelini is God because he is a Defensive mastermind. If everyone closely evaluated all the details that go into a Head coach they just may realign there opinions. Reading 'all' of this thread is a great start. God, no. A great coach, absolutely. Im pretty sure 99.9% of husker nation can recognize that, with you being the only exception i have yet found

So we don't have took through 97 threads to find it haha OK. I'll merge new threads into this one. Prepare for a monster. is there enough space on the internet to handle that?

and look where theyll be next year. teams go up, and they come down, then they go back up, and go back down. see the pattern?

i was listening to this yesterday. apparently harbaugh was snubbed for a QB coach job at michigan and still hates them for it. les is their second ideal choice, but the buy out would be insanely high and michigan doesnt want to pay it. this is just tiger nation getting their hopes up. they hate les even though hes won a national championship there and continues to win. they dont realize what they have if you ask me

you mean the 2007 that was 3 years a ago? yes, i do think your supposed to be happy with a 5 win improvement over a 3 year period under a new coach. we were lucky we had the dominate defense we had last year, and we couldnt reasonably expect to have that kind of performance again. its still a process and the fact that your comparing a 10-4 season to a 5-7 season without a bowl is mind-numbing If this team didn't have the defense it did and play a bunch of crappy teams that 5 game improvement wouldn't have been possible. This season was a HUGE letdown and if you don't think it was then I guess I have higher expectations for the University of Nebraska. Also I don't understand how saying "I'm supposed to be happy because we are better then that crappy 5-7 team" is comparing the 2 teams. Never once compared them just said it is lame to think we should be happy because we improved over that terrible team and that both seasons were HUGE disappointments. The fact that people are happy with a team losing 4 games it should have won and laying turds in 3 others games is mind-numbing if you ask me. This is FREAKING NEBRASKA nobody should settle with being happy with this season just because it is better then the crap that went down in 2007. Losing to the worst Texas team in recent history or a terrible Washington team should not make anybody happy, even though we are better then the 2007 team. The guy that asked when did Nebraska turn into K-State might be on to something. be happy with the improvement. dont forget what bo and company has been able to do in three short years. look where michigan's at over that same time frame. there WILL be disappointments and yes we did have a few towards the end of the year. but all-in-all, i was pretty dang happy with the overall results with this season. we hit double digit wins and made it to the conference championship. we steam rolled our rivals and really left no question that we were the best team in the north. im just saying we dont have to fly off the handle after a surreal ending to an otherwise successful year.

A long ass time. Fortunately, I've managed to scrub the Clownahan years from my memory. Solich was a blip. By that logic, I guess, I guess we got to wait, oh, about another 21 years for another NC. But that doesn't mean I hafta like going 10-4 and getting housed by a mediocre Washington team. Correct on all points. IMO no ones asking you to like getting beat, but instead to understand that games like that happen. there will be disappointments and yes, you will be unhappy at times but we dont have to place blame, discredit a player, or go on a head hunt for coaches and coordinators after ever last game that fails to measure up to our unreasonable expectations

i think he wanted to. he was choosing his words pretty carefully.

DId anyone else just watch the OTL story on Peterson at Pitt? He got a lot of heat for the Mike Heywood hire but apparently his jobs still secure. They brought in Steve Sipple from the Journal Star to talk about his time at Nebraksa and how awkward the whole hiring process with Callahan was. Sipple stated that our program became less about winning and more about "getting players to the NFL." Just kind of interesting to listen to, but I was hoping Peterson would lose his job

i agree with you. somehow we got back to expecting instant success without really earning any to begin with

aurburns D is terrible. oregon shouldnt have a problem moving the ball, and im still standing by my statement that auburn is a 7-5 team at best without newton. and i listen to finebaum from time to time as well. i thought it was great when SC beat bama this year because finebaum had a huge segment on how much stephen garcia sucked over the summer. but the people that call in are clearly drunk on SEC koolaid. i remember somebody saying that vandy could beat Ohio State on any given day

sure theyre the best conference in college football, no one sane would argue that. but i am sick of them talking like theyre the best thing to grace the face of college football in the history of the NCAA. you think people would learn...what goes up, must come down

we had a pretty under-sized defense this year. they were built to be fast and quick to stop the offenses of the powerhouses in the big 12. i wouldnt be surprised if our defense slips a little next year. it just doesnt match up well against a team like wisconsin.

i also wouldnt put lee ahead of martinez, and i know i may be causing controversy by say that. even an uninjured zac lee wasnt effective at any part of the 2009 season. at least taylor gave our offense a spark. some people are saying that we should have gone back to him while taylor was struggling, but i they must not remember how ineffective our offense was last year

i think the people who are ranking crouch #2 or 3 need to go back and rewatch the 2001 season...

any of you remember colt mccoy's first year as a QB at texas? coming of of vince young's incredible performance against USC and heisman run, people had impossibly high standards for colt to measure up to. he didnt have a great first year from both a leadership and performance viewpoint. i can remember discussions on whether or not they were going to go with him or not for the season to come. but hey, look what happened. maybe it was because the coaching staff didnt throw him under the bus and had some freakin patience. hes 19 years old. i cant believe how our "loyal" fanbase is acting toward our QBs over the past few years.

4 players on the ground in a 3 man rush? yes, it is possible and it did just happen
