Touchdown Tommie

How far down the list did they have to go to get these two clowns. Get hired to come back to your school, become one of the worst, if not the worst coach in the history of the program, rumors swirling about bars/being too hungover to meet, and then you get asked to coach the Army All American game...cannot make it up!

No doubt they are better than the Huskers right now. Doesn’t change how I feel about Clester and the kids.

Don’t want the drama of him or his dad. Good luck at KSU.

Maybe it is an expectation thing for me then. Just seems like he gets beat so often and is whiffing on so many blocks. Being the best of the worst is worth something I guess...

It is very disappointing to watch how poorly Benhart has progressed. I coached against this kid throughout high school in both football and wrestling. I was genuinely excited to get his commitment and see how he would do. He has not gotten any better and dare I say, he is worse now than when he was a true freshman?

Getting rid of Benhart will automatically make the line better...he sucks! There HAS to be a better tackle in the portal that they can get here!

He was a pretty good RB here in MN. Played for a private school. Never offered by the Gophers...not sure he was better than 2-3 guys that played most of the season. Interesting tweet to make...

Yes, to some extent. The OL was absolute garbage and he just seemed like he was trying to make something happen that was not there...almost pressing and trying to create a big run each time instead of putting head down. A dancing running back is never a good thing, but add that to the horrendous OL play and it is not good at all!

Trying not to drink the kool aid, trying not to drink the kool aid, trying not to drink the kool aid....ahh, screw it, give me a big ol glass of kool aid!

I bet he never brought one...just lived in the school issued clothes

Gotta disagree on the bolded part. Palmer was lights out. Imagine if he had a QB that could throw to him for all of the games. When injuries took over and the backups were in, it was awful. The WR corp was better under Mickey...at least looked better and had the ability to stretch the field. Not sure there was a WR that could stretch the field before this crew came in.

I am happy with the hire and the process. I really hope Mickey can be retained on staff in some capacity. I like the timing of this because it give a chance for him and the staff to get some potential transfer portal guys. Cautiously optimistic....

There are some pieces to the OL, but injuries and failing a drug test took the top two OL out of the picture. There is ZERO depth and the fact that they keep sending out some the same guys is alarming and proof there is no depth. The guys playing were coached by someone way over their head for most of their career and then got another guy that doesn't seem to know what the hell is going on either. Poor recruiting/retention and poor coaching is the perfect recipe for one of the, if not the worst OL in the history of Nebraska football.

Just got done saying the same thing. If it is all true, it is unbelievable to me that he would be penny pinching.

If reports are true of low ball offers for HC and not being accommodating to assistant salaries I have to wonder what the hell is wrong with Trev and/or BOR?! The program and fan base has been through hell the last 15-20 years and you are worried about money? The athletic department is rolling it in financially and the football program NEEDS to be successful. As it has been said, this could be TA's kiss of death if he screws this up....and probably the football program's kiss of death to ever get back to the bare minimum of success/respect. We will slowly continue to turn into the Gophers from the 60s to the 2000's.

Ed McCaffrey is now available…I will show myself out!

IMO, as a fan base we have so much PTSD from the Callahan to Pelini to Riley to Frost that we freak out when we see/hear the same type of path being taken...even if it is not confirmed. I just wish Trev would be a huge hire and we can all move forward with it. The pessimistic side of me feels like I will be disappointed and frustrated that top choices turned Trev down and we have to settle for some no name person. Damn, it sucks being a Husker fan right now!!

Nobody at backup and THE WORST OL in the country will do that to your stats. It really makes it impressive how Casey has done with that gong show in front of him. The same argument was made over the years with AM. This was proven again. Has to be the biggest blunder in recruiting/coaching to think the current OL on the roster has any fight/fire/pride. Just terrible!

Lol...if I had my way he would not have played after week 1. He HAS to be all that they have. I mean, if they keep sending that clown out there and there is someone else better, Raiola should never coach again.

The OL is just plain awful. I have never seen a group so incredibly incompetent in the BIG. They can be done after this year for all I care. Benhart can be shown the door immediately after the Iowa game. Railoa as well...he has done nothing to get these guys any better than they were before.

Wonder if the hire/agreement was made weeks ago the new person continues to watch these losers and is second guessing their decision...

The OL is the WORST in all of college football. The fact that Benhart continues to be rolled out there at this point is unbelievable! The team has a loser mentality and the new coach needs to get rid of a large chunk of these upper class men. All they know how to do is lose!

If this is true, it is frustrating. With the transfer portal dates the Huskers could potentially miss out on the guys...

Wonder who he brings in for OC and DC. Does he keep Busch for DC? what connections does he have to bring in strong coordinators and support staff?

So, really, he knows nothing and nothing has change. Rhule and MJ still in play with 2-3 others. Great job DB...earth shattering information there!
