This thread is amazing...

 

We have posters saying Urban is not that good...followed by other people wanting Bohl.

Urban Meyer has been good. He is not currently a good hire. Bohl is a pipe dream of wishing upon a Nebraska time machine from yester-years.

I will just leave this here:

Quote

“I think college has changed quite a bit, too,” Meyer said. “Just society has changed. You think how hard you pushed. . . . I believe there is greatness in everybody and it’s the coach’s job to find that greatness however you do that. Positive encouragement. Pushing them to be greater, making them work harder, identifying flaws and trying to fix [them].

 

“I think everything is so fragile right now. And that includes coaching staffs. When I got into coaching, coaches weren’t making this kind of money and they didn’t have agents. Everything is so fragile where it used to be team, team, team. I remember talking about it in a staff meeting three days ago. I got into this profession because I had the greatest high school coach and it was all about team. All about the huddle.”

Does this sound like someone who has changed with the times to be the best or who has had their pinnacle pass them by? Dude doesn't understand people in a way to properly run a high functioning organization.

He just might win you games no HE WILL win you games. That's all that it comes down to. Winning or losing and no offense Nebraska has been so called losers since the last 20 years. Nobody will ever remember Callahan, Pelini, Riley or Frost for their winning. Nebraska absolutely needs to be like Urban Meyer without all the shenanigans. 

Urban Meyer is walking shenanigans. They go hand in hand. Nobody outside of Columbus or Gainesville remember those eras positively. Florida is still trying to right the wrongs a decade later and Day has luckily stop-gapped the bleeding from further rot. Urban has also never done a P5 rebuild. He honestly hasn't done a rebuild outside of Bowling Green and that was just a 2-year stint.

Past stoops I think this is short selling the program's desirability bit there isn't a bad coach on this list. I love Vigen and think he's next up. Would love to see someone with P5 experience but he's a fantastic coach. Harsin-lite.

 

Patterson might be a little dated for the NIL era (proof is there) but maybe he's learned at Texas.

It is going to take a ball of money for anyone with an out to try an fix this cluster. We just canned our golden child because we can't get results. Tons of pressure and not a lot of competitive advantages. We need someone with experience fixing our trenches or a defensive mind to even stay relevant in our division. 

Honestly, any power 5 coach worth poaching pretty much has a better spot in their current program (expectations) or don't have a track record worth gambling on. We either try the next up and comer, or get a proven long term winner from a lower conference/FCS level.

He's a winner you can't argue that. 3 National Championships!!!! 

1. Circle of Trust

2. Zach Smith

3. Josh Lambo

No thanks. He doesn't make programs better, he just might win you games. Nebraska doesn't need to become more like Urban Meyer.

I think Trev just gave us a subliminal message about who he wants for our new head coach. “I think they’re grinders” -Trev

Realistic-ish 

OP. Mickey Joseph w/Vance Joseph as DC

1. Mark Stoops

2. Gary Patterson

3. Brent Vigen

4. Jim Leonard

5. Curt Cignetti

I don't even think Slama wanted it out, it sounds like someone else caught wind and went to the press and she just confirmed it's truth. Hopefully it opens some eyes to the type of person Herbster is, but I won't hold my breath. 

Considering she is a Republican, it does a disservice to her to call out the Trumpster of the party. She likely would have faced much more scrutiny during the legislative session that just ended from her own constituents. 

Yant was the most productive RB on a team that had little ability to run with a RB and never was committed to it. I am a "fan" of having and using a RB to take the load off of the QB who was banged up and hit a lot.

So Trump pressured the FBI to use informants to try and overthrow the election and democracy during the insurrection?

Jags, Jets and Giants (?) don't need a QB.  That's four of the first seven picks.  Probably not the Lions.  Probably not the Texans.  Probably not Carolina.  

 

Goff has little guaranteed money after 2022 and can be cut to give the Lions a lot more money to work with. They could be in the QB drafting party.

Texans might want a redo on using a good pick to cover the Mills pick last year. Not sure they want him moving forward despite his end of year progress.

Jets out.

Giants are probably tanking the upcoming season to be Joe Judge at that time and let Jones walk without a 5th year option. If they find someone they like though, might as well use one of the two picks they got.

Panthers need a QB. Cam is too old/hurt, Darnold's only issue wasn't just Adam Gase at NYJ, and PJ Walker isn't quite up to snuff either. Rhule also needs to save his job at this point.

I lost my championship game on the Najee Harris run. Even if he would have kneeled at the 1 to let the clock run out, would have saved me. No MJD miracle for me.

This has been a frustration of mine for a long time.  I would love to see a stat on how often a player gets hurt on special teams compared to a normal play.  It sure doesn't seem like there's lots of players constantly getting hurt on ST.

Unless Eric Martin is on the opposing team...LOOK OUT!!!

This is my favorite. You can only increase taxes on the top 1% and "upper income" individuals to a certain point (37%) before you get a warning that people will tax evade away your gains. Then you can turn around and make everyone else's taxes go to infinite rates (I quit at 300%.) to balance the budget. No agenda here.

Fun little calculator. It obviously has an agenda and only includes a lot of proposed changes and not a lot of good solutions that would not likely be in corporate America's best interest. A lot of defense spending changes I would propose aren't available but it does give you some interesting choices.

Well, I finally got the covid. On day 3 with a pretty rough fever, although so far today it seems to be much better than the last two. 

 

I was a few weeks away from recommended time to get the booster and got caught in a bad timing bad luck window over the holidays. 

Sorry you have to go through this. It is a b*tch! I hope you feel better.

My entire family got it at the beginning of December. Nobody officially cracked a fever, but both my wife and I had headaches, sinus infection like pain in our nose/forehead, and congestion/chest pressure. We both lost our taste and I still haven't got mine back. Taking care of kids while we had it and they were sick, as well, was the worst part. I still have heart issues now (elevated rate while infected) and I am in the young and this won't effect you crowd.

Good luck feeling better. Covid sucks and I wouldn't recommend it. 

Funny because as contributions to funding higher learning, by the public taxpayer, the more loans have been taken by students and the most coming around the Great Recession when more people were unlikely to find jobs anyway. Also, more and more total percentage of loans are being taken out by parents of students.

Breakdown of types of loans.

Funding for higher learning hasn't recovered from the .com bubble in early 2000's, while enrollment has increased due to the need for more educated workforce in general, with an enrollment bubble around the Great Recession.

I see, so not ranked choice voting but proportional voting. I wonder if there's Constitutional issues with proportional voting for the Senate or House that would require an Amendment.

It would still be voting for you representative for your state. Wyoming can't be fixed and senate seats are usually done in off years meaning no state is supposed to have two senators elected at the same time. You can't fix one off votes.

I'm in favor of ranked choice voting, but I don't see how that addresses gerrymandering. If a district is gerrymandered to be 60% party A and 40% party B, how does being able to rank the votes change anything?

A state like Nebraska would have only 3 representatives for the house. The whole state votes on who they want to represent themselves without any borders being made. This would be less chances for gerrymandering. When it comes to state elections the opportunity still exists, but the number of line needing to be drawn are fewer and it can be easier to identify, this city should have 5 representatives thus the people in the city borders vote for such representatives. 

Some good info in another topic if you really want to know.

You don't need AI. Just algorithms that can produce compact areas (minimize the ratio of perimeter to area) with equal population numbers in each area.

 

The number of districts for a state depends on it's population and not it's geography, so there's not really a way to make bigger districts without creating districts with too many people in them.

With ranked choice voting you can put more people up for election in single units when the election is for more than one position (i.e. boards, councils, or representatives for state or federal postiions (state senate or house of representatives)) usually with 3-5 winners being the ideal blocks of representation.
