TOMMY DIDN'T TRAVEL WITH THE TEAM!???

FIRE RILEY!

I wish Jack could've been a part of something much bigger and better here. I hope the effort he has put in still has an effect that ends up being a part of that bigger and better future. If someone just learns from guys like Gangwish, in their effort and leadership, maybe it's the spark to ignite the fire in this program again. We need all we can get right now and in the darkest times, it's hard to be the light, Gangwish gets massive respect in my book for being that guy.

Somewhere down the road, I hope Gangwish at least finds it rewarding in another way if he can look back and say that he did everything he could to keep this ship pointed in the right direction. Take pride in that, and if any of the young guys on this team even care to notice that, maybe they can learn from it and continue that pride.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where the hell do you people just realize that if we just execute, things usually go our way! If we don't have the players to execute, then we need to get them...

This is something Bo Pelini would say...

And then True would lambast him for it.

 

Haha! Yep you guys are right and it is funny. Key difference here though and I know most of you won't get it or even care to read this, but the big difference is that I supported Bo for about the first 5 years. Hell, f#*k that, I even supported Bo in his final year when he swore he had seen the light and some changes were coming.

 

7 years in, we watched the same team do the same stuff in the same schemes.

 

If you can't respect the difference there, then piss off and quit talking to me.

 

I do see the difference. Except, we're doing the same things, and worse. If it was bad for Bo, it has to be bad for Riley too.

 

Not sure how much to put on Coach Riley and his staff yet.

 

Watching the games, the players are there, they are in position to succeed. They are not executing and they are not making plays.

 

Too many experts here throwing the coaches under the bus and not even talking about the players.

 

A defensive back watches the WR catch the ball and then misses the tackle, and tha'ts the coaches fault?

 

Ryker throws a pick on a horrible pass and the first and following comments here are about Langsdorf?

 

Gimme a break guys, these players are really doing a poor job this year. Period. It's all about how much ownership you think Riley and his staff have in this team and right now, I seriously question how much this is "their team".

 

Coaches need to put the players in position to succeed. Purdue has the worst rush D in the B1G, and we abandoned the run. Our secondary has been torched by every QB we've faced, Banker says "oh, we can make adjustments" and we continue to put them on islands and put them in position to fail.

 

It's not just the fans questioning what's going on. It's former players and analysts across the country.

 

As a leader/manager/boss it is YOUR JOB to put people under you in the best position possible to succeed. Even if you don't have a team of rock stars, you do what you can. Nebraska isn't doing that.

 

The fact that Ozigbo didn't have a carry is disappointing.

 

Still this is far from laying it "all" on the coaches.

 

Oh, I agree it's not "all" on the coaches.

Ozigbo did play though and got a couple carries and a catch. No idea where Wilbon is. They raved about him all last year.

 

I want Wilbon out there big time. Not sure what happened there, but it has been the most frustrating thing to watch us try to kick start a run game without our best RB.

Wilbon is our best RB.

Ozigbo, not far behind.

You don't get the impression that this isn't "all" on the coaches when you read you and some of your buddies comments.

This +1000, and why folks like True just don't get it.

 

Frankly, if Riley were a CEO, he would have already been fired, his tenure has been that abysmal so far.

 

This +10000000000000000000

What's wrong with that guy? What a dumbass.........

The fact that you can't find any blame on the coaches acceptable in possibly the worst season in Nebraska history is laughable.

 

I mean, Jesus our play calling is like some 12 year old playing Madden for the first time. I think a blind person pointing randomly at a playbook could call a better game.

 

But no, you're right this is all Bo's and the players fault. Riley is completely f'ing blameless.

 

I never said that, but if it helps you to feel better, then I'll carry that weight.

It's a shame our season is what it is, when you have guys like Gangwish who care so much.

 

PURE CLASS by Gangwish. Well done young man.

 

RESPECT. Well done Gangwish.

triple tip pick off.

 

We're cursed.

I can't take it anymore. Does anyone posting here have clue? If you throw a pass way behind the receiver, bad things happen. It doesn't mean you are cursed, it means you can't throw accurately, which is a function of coaching, talent, effort, and practice.

 

Good lord right!?

 

It's either bad coaching or we're cursed!? Where the hell do you people just realize that if we just execute, things usually go our way! If we don't have the players to execute, then we need to get them and we can hardly hold Riley and his staff accountable for not having the guys capable of executing right now. How the hell could that be their fault?

 

We've been inconsistent for years now!

 

It is all mental right now. Players are culpable for their actions and mindset. Coaches are too. Charlie Strong came into a distinct but equally toxic atmosphere in Texas. He started the change in culture during the off-season by making the team accountable for their actions (lots of players dismissed). The play suffered from the talent loss, so mid-season, Charlie has incorporated more power football. It is a lot easier to buy in as a player when you know there are consequences to your actions (Team comes first) and that you will have an opportunity to run the ball down the opponents throat on Saturdays. Accountability + Power Football, that is the recipe for a strong football culture.

 

Yeah, and that is where I find the coaches responsible and if you've read my comments on this board, you've seen it.

I get in these discussions here with stupid people and I find myself defending the coaches constantly with the on field stuff, but this accountability and personnel area of the team is one are I am baffled by the decisions.

I totally agree with your Charlie Strong reference and this catering to the athlete mentality needs to disappear here as well. These guys need an awakening, but how will they ever wake up if they don't feel like their position on the team is ever in jeapordy. I totally get it.

Then you have to put yourself in the shoes of the coach. If you're a coach, you're responsibility is to put the best product you can on the field. So if there is such a drastic drop off to that next level then you're in a tough spot. Do you allow the team as a whole to suffer and fail because you've put an even worse player in the game? I mean, we have to remember, these decisions affect everyone. Not just the player that doesn't seem to give a crap.

The whole team suffers.

I think we are indeed in a rebuild mode and I think there needs to be some cleansing of this program.

Haha! sh#t........

Come on man. No one here is against the team. You seem to blame them and give the staff a pass.

I keep the balance. I'll tell you when it's one or the other or both.

 

Players have been in position to win this game and have made too many mistakes and not made enough plays to cover them up.

 

Really...so when has it been on the coaches?

 

The Illinois game. No doubt about it. The rest of the games have been a little bit of both. This one and last week was mostly all players.

 

The tone of the game and mindset of the team is set in the off-season and Sunday-Friday in practice. That is on the coaches to build their culture. 10 months is plenty of time to establish a strong culture. Listen to how Harbaugh did it through tough practices, high expectation, and accountability in the same amount of time Riley has been at Nebraska.

 

The players choose to quit on this team, but the coaches allow them.

 

As a coach, you have to know this.

 

I really think this was a unique situation Riley walked into. I don't think this was a place anybody was going to walk into and just "change the culture". There's some stuff ingrained pretty deeply here. Combine that with the gut wrenching losses to start the season, and I think it went the wrong way quickly.

 

You might be right. I can understand their situation, but I just can not give the coaches a pass.

 

I'm not totally giving them a pass, I'm just willing to give them a little time to get it fixed. You don't hire coaches and fire them 10-11 months later. Not in my opinion anyway.

This discussion of it's the players fault VS it's the coaches fault needs to stop. They are on the same damn team. You win as a team, you lose as a team.

 

Thanks_Tom RR has it exactly right. This team, it's mentality, it's mindset, it's identity is built in the offseason and in how they go about practices during the week. That is on the coaches.

 

Have the coaches made some good play calls or had the players in positions to make plays, but just didn't execute? YES!

 

This season's outcome, both it's positives & negatives falls on both parties.

 

You didn't read what I said.

This teams mentality is not owned by Riley or his staff. It's just not.

Maybe in some situations coaches are able to come over and infect the team with their mentality, but this situation was truly unique in my opinion. Bo Pelini was a different kind of coach, he instilled a very negative us against the world mentality, and the players really bought into a negative approach to things.

Again, I don't think Riley has been able to get a hold of this team's mentality yet, and I don't blame him. It's evident when you see some of the actions of our players too, it's really not debatable that there are some lingering attitude issues.

You didn't use this argument the last few years, what gives?

 

Seven years of watching the players be out of position, running the same "pass first" defensive scheme.

I tend to expect some changes when things are going the exact same way for seven years.

Year one, new staff, they have the right philosphy and players have been in position to make plays. Tackling has improved. We are still just insanely inconsistent. It's easily there for the taking if the players just step up. It's not nearly as often you see the defenders not in position to make the play.

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

 

Would be an awesome comeback

Damn right! Let's do this!

 

 

Must be the coaching staff's fault.

 

Its the

players you keep throwing under the bus......

 

It's the coaches you keep throwing under the bus.........

One of the two is mentioned in that twitter comment about lots of smiles as they're getting their ass beat. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I'd like to be the team that looks serious and focused when we are losing like this.

Must be the coaching staff's fault.

Purdue showing why they don't win. Horrible series.

Good stop Huskers! Now let's go offense.

Oh that's right, we don't get credit when we make stops....it's our fault if it goes bad, and it's their fault if it goes good.

 

Touchdown Nebraska?

 

Oh that's right, we don't celebrate those here.

You won't get people to agree with you via strawmen.

 

Not trying to catch bee's. Trying to smack down as much stupid as possible.

 

Man, look at that talent.

 

Players have to make plays. Davie was in position to make the play. He didn't.

What's up with your hatred for players? Did you get bullied by football players when you were growing up?

 

Yea. I hate football players and I got bullied by them. Sad face.

Emo.
