Fullback: 1) Hard-Nosed - When this guy runs the ball, it's going to be right through the line! If you need a first down, he's going to pound the ball fast and in your face. This poster tells it like it is and doesn't hold back any emotion. 2) Blocker - The FB can be the guy who springs the last hole for the RB or could stand up an oncoming LB in his tracks. Any time a poster needs a little extra info to make his point, this guy is right there to help him out! As with other blockers, this poster might not get the flashy TV time like the QB, RB, and WR do. 3) Sure Hands - Primarily involved on 3rd down, you have to watch for this guy's late screening ability. Not only can he get that last yard, but the FB can stop on a five yard route and bang his way to the first down or even a TD! So ideally, the person most befitting of FB might not be a "dedicated" poster, but when they are here, they make good on their appearance. These people are already in a position.

Running Back: 1) Not afraid to take hits - hits the holes hard and fast and dishes out just as well as he receives. 2) Very consistent - This person gives good information on a constant basis and is dependable when opinions are needed. this person states his viewpoints and does not waver from them. 3) Competitor - Even after fumbling (giving bad advice), this guy will always come back at you the next time with his best. Never afraid of the opposing linebacker (critic), will carry the ball until the cows come home. 4) An "inside runner" - When the holes are made for him, he has to fly through with a quick step. This poster is able to find the inside information, then quickly divulge it to HuskerBoard so we can all "gain yardage!" 5) Ability to "bounce it to the outside" - When the hole isn't there, this guy can use his lateral thinking skills (and lateral movement) to tiptoe the sidelines for a good gain. 6) Catching out of the backfield - When a fellow poster (or his QB) gets in trouble in a topic, the RB has to be able to and bail him out. Short dumpoffs, designed draws, and screens should be easily fielded by this poster. 7) Picking up the blitz - Handles several topics/Mocks/debates/etc... while always prioritizing correctly (reply to a topic first, then worry about debating on the Heisman winner or best college mascot). 8) Reliable - Can be counted on to show up and play hard every week. Won't cough up the ball when taking a hard hit. These people are already in a position.

Wide Receiver: 1) Fast - This guy has blazing speed and can burn any cornerback that stands in his way. Replies to messages and questions come from this poster at an alarming rate! Able to outrun any Georgia DB for a 99-yard TD when the team's backs are against the wall. 2) Good Hands - When a pass is thrown his way, he always catches the pass where the defenders can't knock it away. Very rarely drops the ball when his vision isn't impaired. So, this poster backs up his content with documented info and normally answers the question very well. If you need someone in that end zone to clutch the Hail Mary, this is your guy. 3) Route Runner - Slants, posts, and hook routes are this player's forte. Using these routes, this poster always finds the soft spot of a zone or gets good separation from tight coverage. This guy has a different "slant" on many topics, "posts" a lot of interesting information, and "hooks" you with his witticism and knowledge. 4) Wily/Crafty - A student of the game. Recognizes patterns and coverage (knows the topics he's commenting on and the other people in the particular debate). Tends to use his skill to get away with things, isn't afraid to fight with the defense. A Maurice Purify type. These people are already in a position.

Quarterback: 1) Leader - A take charge kind of guy. He starts a majority of the threads here on the board, being a topic starter. 2) Cannon Arm – The QB has a blast visiting HuskerBoard daily. He has an powerful way with posts (shooting at lot of posts at us daily). 3) Offensive Minded - He makes the offense offensive. He may correct you to his way of thinking. Some of his remarks may offend you but he makes you dish it out like he dished on you. 4) Great Size - The ideal "pocket passer" QB should have great size - 6'2" to 6' 5". This gives them the ability to see over the line and take big hits from defenders. Therefore, this poster should have a good volume of posts. We're not looking for ones that say "I agree" or "That's funny" though... These posts should all have good quality and stand above all other "defenders." 5) Field Vision - He has to see what the defense is giving him and make the best of the situation. That means our QB reads pretty much all of the posts and gives what he feels to be the best answer/comment to the question - and many times it is the most noteworthy comment of the thread! 6) Scrambling Ability - The QB should be able to "scramble when flushed out of the pocket" by an odd question. This poster can quickly answer the question posed from his own knowledge of Husker football or experience. These people are already in a position.

Linebacker: 1) Defensive Leader - The LB sets up the defense in the huddle and keeps everyone abreast of how an offense is shifting or motioning. This poster is a well-respected member that keeps all others in line with his comments, while at the same time informs everyone of player news and other happenings in the NFL. 2) Gap Filler - When a play is run and holes are made for the opposing RB, the LB fills the running lane and stuffs the RB from breaking free or stops him in the backfield completely! Our LB's are guys who keep threads interesting by adding their own insight and can stop a thread from running amok with useless info. 3) Blitzer - When the rush is on, you can expect the LB's to be coming fast and furious through the line and get to the QB with blazing speed. When a breaking story hits, these guys rush to HuskerBoard to inform and add good content to the discussion. 4) Team Pleayer - Holds his ground and knows what he's doing is important to the outcome, even if he doesnt get much recognition for what he does 5) Alertness - Aware of the situations and reacts properly. 6) Hard-Hitter - Relentless at the opposition. When he sees something being done wrong, he will take care of it, no questions asked. Not afraid to belt a receiver going across the middle, but isn't the kind of player to make unwarranted cheap shots. - - Voting ends 1/11/15 - -

Defensive End: 1) Technically Sound - When you're toying with a 320 pound offensive lineman, you need to know how to get past them. Hand technique is crucial! This poster should be a master of the "swim" move (has a free-style), the "rip" move (points out incorrect stats and states his opposing viewpoints freely), and the "bull rush" (sometimes has too much to talk about)! Grant Wistrom and Trev Alberts are two examples of the prototypical Rush End. 2) Reads the QB's eyes - When in a passing situation (and when not trying to sack the QB), this guy is always looking at the passer to see which passing lane he should cover and gets his arms up when the ball is released to knock it down. Ideally, this member intently reads all the opinions of the previous posters and finds out how to best agree or disagree with the viewpoints presented. 3) Great acceleration - This guy has to get off the line fast in order to get to the QB as fast as possible. He should have a sharp burst of energy when the ball is snapped. Therefore, I think this poster should be one of those guys who comes into the forums (the ball is snapped) and immediately posts 3-4 replies to the most recent threads. You see this person's name at the top of the forums a lot! 4) Versatility - Having to be fast enough to get to the QB, big enough to take on the O-line, strong enough to bring down a RB, and quick enough to fall back into a cover-zone. This poster should be seen in all types of forums, flashing knowledge on a wide array of topics. A jack-of all trades. - - Voting ends 1/11/15 - -

Defensive Tackle: 1) Two words: Ndamukong Suh – The quintessential example of a legendary DT. The DT is a huge guy that makes it impossible for you to run straight up the middle. They have the toughness to fight through double teams and get in the gap to stop the RB. Our DT should present his big ideas to a topic and have them mean so much that an argument or question stops at that point. 2) Quickness - This may be an overused item, but it's still important at the DT spot. If he can get through the line, he has a straight path to the QB! The faster he gets there, the better - this can create poor decisions and bad throws by the passer. HuskerBoard DT's should react fast to breaking news! 3) Shifting ability - If Bo decides to go into a 3-4, a DT will become a nose tackle and line up over the center. If he can take on both running gaps and jam the inside, he allows the ILB's to make plays. The perfect DT takes on many tough issues in many forums to allow other posters the ability to answer the obvious questions (the easy stop as it were)! 4) Relentless - This guy can really dig his heels in and eventually overpower the lesser player in front of him. Creates a surge towards his given target and then makes the tackle from any given angle. - - Voting ends 1/11/15 - -

Recruiting Coordinator / Intern: 1) New To The Team – This is often the first position available to a new member on the staff, but someone whose impact can be felt right away. These posters should be someone who have never held a position in the Starting Lineup before, but whose contributions are unique to the board and whose fresh perspective have put him slightly ahead of the rest of the crowd. 2) Lots of Hustle – A Recruiting Coordinator Intern has to keep all the pieces moving, keeping the staff up-to-date on all their travel plans, getting whatever is needed as fast as possible to keep the fresh recruits coming in. HuskerBoard’s Recruiting Interns should contribute more than just talk in Husker Football, whether that contribution is providing info in the Recruiting forum, helping answer questions in the Audio/Video forum, providing yummy recipes in Roxy's Recipes forum, or even making helpful and informative Status Updates. 3) High Turnover – Unfortunately, the Recruiting Coordinator Intern is a position with lots of potential for turnover. Interns come, Interns go. This is your chance to give that new guy a well-deserved “attaboy” for his contributions, and make him feel like a member of the team. Who knows, he may stick around. - - Voting ends 1/4/15 - -

Equipment Manager: 1) Upwardly Mobile – The Equipment Manager has dreams of climbing the coaching ranks, and gets this position because he has shown the potential to hold a higher office. HuskerBoard’s Equipment Manager is a guy who may be just starting out, but who already exhibits the potential to one day become a Head Coach or a Coordinator. 2) Coachability – Aspiring to the coaching ranks is a noble pursuit, but there is a steep learning curve. The Equipment Manager needs to be able to take instruction well, and put that instruction to good use. So this position should be filled by a guy who learns from the Vets and applies what he learns in his posts. This is not just someone whose ideas have no conviction, just someone who is willing to listen and learn from solid advice. 3) Starting Small – Let’s face it, the road to the coaching ranks begins at the lowest levels. Aspiring Offensive Coordinators and Head Coaches need to get their feet wet somehow. The Equipment Manager should be a guy who, while he hasn’t been around very long, already exhibits some of the qualities we see in the Head Coach and/or Offensive/Defensive Coordinator: gives instruction, fires off frequent posts and provides good information. - - Voting ends 1/4/15 - -

Offensive Coordinator: 1) Relayer - "The OC" (as he may be called) has to hand down the offensive play call from the Head Coach for it to be implemented in the game. So, this poster is someone who likes to give out new breaking stories or updates to players & coaches, and does it very often. 2) Tactician - The offensive Coordinator has to sense weaknesses in a defense throughout the whole game and can sense changes quickly enough to call a play that will exploit the opponent. In HuskerBoard-land, this poster is able to find flaws in weaker arguments and rebut it with the most pertinent facts and stats to gain himself "yardage" in the thread. 3) Student of the game - offensive Coordinators normally start out as a coach in another capacity on a team or several teams, such as QB or WR coach. They can teach the players on the field and call the plays during the game. So, I would have to say there's a lot of experience that must be gained to take this position. Therefore, this poster should be a veteran of the site who has been here long enough to understand the ins and outs of the "offense" in the form of posts and threads. - - Voting ends 1/4/15 - -

Defensive Coordinator: 1) Defensive mind - This guy is all about keeping people out of the end zone. It's his job to find the correct personnel for each situation and keep the offense from finding a hole or seam to advance the ball. So, when posting on HuskerBoard, this member employs the best info and stats available to defend his arguments from being shot down by others. 2) Knows when to blitz - Sometimes an opponent is in a situation where a blitz will almost surely create a forced throw, a turnover, or a big loss. This poster brings the heat by quickly posting a counter argument to a weak or disjointed post. It almost always squashes the opposing viewpoint before posters can even bother to post against it...therefore many times it's not even necessary to pile it on! 3) Experience - Just like an offensive coordinator, the DC is normally an old defensive player or coached linebackers, the secondary, or the defensive line for several years. We're looking for a veteran poster who has been able to defend HuskerBoard's honor in many ways during his years here. - - Voting ends 1/4/15 - -

Strength & Conditioning Interns: 1) Willingness to Serve – Strength & Conditioning is critical position in Husker Nation, and these guys must be willing to give their all to the team. Finding errors on the site or suggestions for the Feedback Forum, while not so glamorous, help HuskerBoard to be a better place for all. 2) Uplifting – The S&C Interns keep the team on the field strong all four quarters, allowing us to dominate at the end of the game. HuskerBoard’s S&C Interns are guys who adds fresh perspective to the thread, or who bring out that key point that may have been missed so far in the conversation. These are also folks who stick around through the off season, providing witty commentary or bringing up interesting points to ponder during the 2/3 of the year without football. 3) Unsung Hero – Weak players are bad players. The S&C Interns are the backbone of the program, but often get overlooked in the process. HuskerBoard’s S&C Interns should be those guys whose contributions, while worthwhile, somehow leave them out of the limelight.

Job Description: Head Coach: 1) Teacher - You have come to learn from this guy on a regular basis. He has expert knowledge of Husker football. He is always helpful and willing to help you out with something you need, whether on the boards or PMs...especially newcomers. 2) Play Caller - This guy "runs the show" in his mind. You often see him on HuskerBoard organizing several "audibles" at any given time in a heated topic of discussion. He's been known to get some of his preseason predictions right, and his knowledge of Husker football is second to none. He often sways the opinions of the majority in a discussion thread. 3) Worldly Knowledge - Even though some coaches use a "cheat sheet" with all the plays on them, our Head Coach doesn't need them. This member is active in numerous areas of HuskerBoard, offering insights on various topics already posted, and keeping HuskerBoard informed of breaking news or important subjects. Because of the crucial nature of this position, this member should be a veteran of many years at HuskerBoard. - - Voting ends 1/4/15 - -

Christmas is done, the bowl game is over, it's the recruiting dead period, and we're in the doldrums of the calendar where not much of much is going on, which can only mean one thing: It's time for the Starting Lineup once again. For the next several weeks we'll be nominating and voting for positions on the HuskerBoard Starting Lineup, your chance to tell folks how much fun you've had talking football with them over the last year. Maybe it's someone whose opinions most closely match your own, maybe it's someone whose point of view couldn't be further from yours - but whatever the reason, same opinion or different, they're someone whose input you look forward to every time you come to the board. A brief "how it works" for those new to this thing: Each Monday we'll open nominations for several positions. You nominate OR second (one or the other, per position) someone for a spot on the team. Once the nomination period is closed the voting starts, and at the end of the week the top vote-getter(s) get their position. Nominations close on Wednesday, and Thursday every week voting begins. The basic ground-rules: Each person may nominate OR second one member per position. You may not nominate a person and second another person in the same thread. Each position will be open for nominations for three days. To be considered for the position a member must be nominated and seconded. You may nominate or second only one person per position. A person may hold only one position. The voting period for each position lasts four days, and runs Thursday - Sunday. Mods & Admins are not eligible for positions. Please don't nominate them. Members who have retired from the Starting Lineup will not be eligible for positions. Please don't nominate them. Banned members are not eligible for positions. Please don't nominate them. A person may not hold the same position they held last year. They may be on the team again, but if so they'll have to be in a new position. We're doing this to keep the Starting Lineup fresh and fun, and because there are a LOT of folks who could hold these positions. Please, no self-nominations. Campaigning for a position is allowed in the designated Campaigning Thread only. Any campaigning found outside that thread, whether in Status Updates, sigs, whatever, will be met with swift, harsh and unforgiving discipline (you'll be forced to wear a Colorado Buffaloes avatar for a month). A person may be nominated for NO MORE THAN two (2) concurrently open positions. For example, a person may not be nominated for Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator and Strength & Conditioning Intern at the same time, or for Offensive Guard, Offensive Tackle and Center at the same time. Please check the other nomination threads to be sure you aren't nominating someone who's already been nominated twice for that round.Have fun, good luck, and don't take any wooden nickels.

One last vote in this thing. There have been a number of good suggestions this year, and we're going to vote on them here. Let's talk about those changes in this thread, so we can hammer everything out via discussion. So don't just vote, put in your two cents. Your input is valuable. EDIT - I had a thought about how to change the schedule but forgot to post it. We could hold nominations for all of the Coaching positions all at once. Those nominations would last three days, Sunday - Tuesday. Elections for all positions would be Wednesday - Saturday. The next week we do the same for all Offensive positions, QB, RB, WR, the line, etc. All nominations run Sunday - Tuesday, then all votes go Wednesday - Saturday. The next week we do the same for Defense, and the following week we finish up with Special Teams. The whole thing would take four weeks, there would be a longer voting period, but perhaps a bit more chaos with up to nine voting threads running at the same time.
