i just don't see Banker as the defensive answer to what ails us........he has a lot of experience but is far from a guru...nonetheless if he can develop a decent run defense, that would help.......can't stand to see teams gash us in the running game.

The last guru we had gave up 408 yards to one player...

 

 

 

No.

 

 

Really, the Big Ten? What happened to measuring by national rankings?

 

What do you think teacher......will we out recruit Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State not under suspension, and Michigan State (about equal with us in stature)? Will we continue to sign up southern players to play in 20 degree temps with below 0 windchill? I'm thinking leaving the Big 12 just made it a hell of a lot harder.

 

I'm now wondering if we could even compete if they switched to luge, speed skating, hockey and ski jumping......seems like we're now a southern school in the frozen league.

Is it not cold in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan?

They're Texas type schools with a huge homer recruiting base right outside the door....... we have to go to Guacamolia to recruit. Most of our past recruiting success has come from the south.

 

​Discuss.

I may get crushed for this but Bill Callahan was able to bring some big time recruits in but was unable to develop them. Maybe, just maybe MR and his staff will be able to recruit AND develop some of them. With that said let's see how it shakes out!

No.

2nd and goal at the 3.....with AA on the team....and we go with a trick play???? What the heck????

Tim Beck is garbage...

Here's my 2 cents, Joe Ganz will be the next OC at YSU...

 

First time poster (and a Badger fan). I think this is a great hire, any time you get a respected coach who runs a program the right way, its the only place to start. 2nd task is to get a product on the field and Nebraska can certainly do that without too many problems.

 

To give a little background on Riley, he is the mentor to former UW OC Paul Chryst - one of the most respected offensive minds in the game. There is a lot of power running, heavy use of FB's and TE's and a very creative downfield passing game. At UW the OL does it all, a lot of pulling, some zone, a 2nd tight end plays H-Back and motions or pulls into the holes to give additional power at the point of attack. The run game is powerful and creative and gets defenses leaning...with the right QB this offense can be dynamite. Nebraska will need to find a QB that can get it downfield but even a serviceable QB is good enough to win games, mobility a huge plus. The OL should be excited as hell about this hire, RB's should be knocking down the door to get their share of carries at a storied program like Nebraska. Its not an overly sexy hire and demanding championships is a bit unfair, even though I think winning the West will happen for your program very soon (not as certain about a B1G championship in 3 years or whatever I'm reading on this board). My fear as a badger fan is that things don't work out for Paul Chryst at Pittsburg and he ends up at Nebraska under Riley as offensive coordinator. That would suck for Badger fans.

 

Riley can flat out coach if he gets the players. Nebraska is far better than Oregon State in terms of prestige, they should get no worse players than WI and that type of player is plenty good enough to win games. I'm 46 so I'm neither real old nor real young but I respected the way Nebraska ran a football program in the Osborne years - not so much the winning as the class. I think that is fully restored under Riley. Its a huge upgrade for your University if he wins 9+ games a year, winning is important but its about more than that at places like WI and NE. He's the type of coach that restores pride among former players, boosters, students, alumni, etc.

 

I do think a big key will be who gets hired as defensive coordinator, its critical that he gets it right. From my cheap seats you guys just didn't adjust on the field - that's on the coaches. I'm sure Pelini knew how to scheme an opponent but he sure as hell didn't know how to adjust to that opponent once the game got underway. I'm in the camp that the B1G can be a beast of a league if Nebraska returns to its glory, if Michigan returns to it glory, if Iowa can regain some swagger and teams like Minnesota, Illinois and Maryland continue to improve.

 

Congrats on the hire, I hope works out for the University, the state of Nebraska and the Conference as a whole.

 

The problem with Bo wasnt that he didnt know how to adjust the D, its the egomaniacal idiocy that he just wouldnt. Im stubborn but not to the point that if its broke that i wont change to fix it. Winning is more important to me, and i think it was more important to Bo to try and prove his way could work.

^^^^ I couldn't agree more

I don't either. He's got job security in the best conference in football with a relatively easy path to the CCG, and hauls in recruits by the dozen since he's in a hotbed. He's got literally no reason to leave, as it appears he doesn't have the dream of rebuilding the Huskers to the glory days of ole... probably since he moved to FLA and finished HS there.

 

Richt strikes me as the Bo of the SEC... always loses a couple or three games a year he shouldn't and he heasn't quite gotten over the hump Hasn't been to a BCS bowl since 2007.

 

Much better options on the table.

That seems to be the consensus on this board. But if you look at his losses the past couple of years, they've all been narrow losses to pretty good teams. Well, except for his loss to a 9-4 Vandy team last year, and (arguably) the loss to NU in the bowl game. Other than those two, all of Richt's losses since the 2011 season were to teams ranked about the same or higher than Georgia.

What?!?

He must have missed the Florida game this year

 

There wont be an announcement until at least this Sunday. Its my understanding that they must post the job opening for 7 days before officially hiring for the position.

 

So,

 

It's halftime on Sunday during the Nebraska Creighton game. Everyone's there, Osborne isn't back in Dallas yet for the selection show, Frost has already coached in the CCG on Friday.

 

And out walks him and Tressel. Arm in arm.

 

I'm just gonna ponder that.

 

If you don't mind.

Thought I saw something on Twitter from Brian Christopherson about a waiver they could use to announce whenever they wanted...

I hadn't seen that. Do you have the link by chance, i would love to read it? I wasnt aware of the waiver, but i am sure SE can find a way around it, if he really wants to.

It's been mentioned a couple times. Don't really have any details.

 

Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC · 3h3 hours ago

Timetable talk: If wanted, NU can use a waiver process, commonly used in coaching searches, to make hiring announcement whenever.

Thanks

Let me know if this don't work.

I like the tone of this. Eichorst expects better. So should we all.[/quote

 

I couldn't agree more!

AMEN!

I think it's interesting that they say we're the "highlight" of their 2011 schedule, even though they host last year's #2 team, TCU (AP/Coaches). They're also using this as a vehicle to sell season tickets, a ploy which I'm sure will work quite well for them. I anticipate that their stadium will be 75% Red this Fall.

I can't tell if you're serious. We will be lucky to have more than 10,000 Huskers in the stadium, which is 30%.

 

Kinda/sorta serious. 75% is an exaggeration, but we'll have LOTS. We had over 50% Huskers in South Bend when we visited Notre Dame.

 

 

I don't find it difficult to believe we'll have a majority of Husker Fans in War Memorial Stadium this Fall. I'd be stunned if ONLY 10K Husker Fans showed up for the game. Wyoming Fan can sell his ticket to a Husker fan for that one game, which figures to be a slaughter, and pay for the rest of his season tickets. Why wouldn't he? Tons of fans do it when we come - so much so that teams have instituted "Keep The Red Out" days to stop us from having essentially home-field advantage on their turf.

 

With all the Husker Fans out west of North Platte who don't get to come to games in Lincoln because it's so far away and/or tickets are so hard to come by, this is a no-brainer. Western Nebraskans have been begging for a game played in Laramie for decades.

You got that right! I plan on being there! Plus one for you!

At first glance I thought that said the order is restored! Sorry!

After three years of a hybrid West Coast/spread attack that played to diminishing returns in big games and had critics sniping at the heels of Shawn Watson, the new leader of Nebraska's offense - Tim Beck - is officially hitting the reset button and putting the “gas pedal to the floor.”

 

In a bold, upbeat first interview since becoming NU's latest offensive coordinator, Beck told the “Sports Nightly” radio program Tuesday night that he intends to completely overhaul the Huskers' attack for their inaugural Big Ten season in 2011.

 

“You can't be afraid to start over and junk everything and get a system in place,” Beck said during a 15-minute, wide-ranging chat. “Even though there may be things your guys know, change is good. And you've got to make those changes and live through those early times, because once the foundation is laid on what you plan on doing, you're going to be set for years to come with it.”

 

And what will Nebraska's offense look like? Beck didn't offer precise details. But he gave two notable statements:

Guy sounds like he knows what he's doing! IMO!

PRINCE!!

 

The next few years will be interesting to see how many defensive players Bo sends to the NFL and how they do.

Oh, aNd I am bias

I'm going with Prince as well!

I've often wondered the same thing!

Anybody have a link? I'd like to watch this!
