Most people--me included--would rather see our current coaching staff progress vs. a regime change. We can only hope all eyes have been opened. A few things that came to mind: 1) The B1G was there for the taking this year. Sure WI, MSU, Mich, PSU, tOSU and on a good day Iowa are all good enough--but none of them is a world-beater, not this year. Yet the Huskers manage to forget how to play (and coach) defense and can't mount even a serious challenge. 2) Coaches (and fans) will expect young NU players to play at a high level next year and the year after, based on a wing and a prayer rather than experience. 3) Thin and too small on both lines. Didn't NU once build line depth with walkons? 4) Team speed on the field speed becoming a serious issue. Team speed on the sidelines also a serious issue. 5) NU can't handle prosperity and mistakes multiply like rabbits. And killer instinct? That is a pipe dream. 6) Many programs with no business attracting good talent do in fact attract good talent. NU is having trouble reclaiming its brand. 7) Receivers who presumably were serviceable receivers in high school come to NU and might as well be trying to snag the ball with a brick in each hand. 8) I said and heard "Where in the World is ____" more times this year than I can fathom. 9) One stud linebacker can't prop up an entire defense. 10) Playing in the Longhorn League this year would have been downright ugly. Thank you Dr. Tom. 11) Saturdays, not as fun as they used to be. 12) 9-3 would be a huge win at this point, but see #1.
