TX-Husker-2011 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 As some of you may have seen me mention, my best friend was apart of the '07 class. Speaking with him on AIM right now, and I'll just show you what he said. I'm not going to mention his name because I don't want him to get in trouble and I don't want people bombarding me or him with questions or anything. I'm just letting you know. Me: So I guess things are a big ass mess up there, right? Player: pretty much, nobody knows what the f*** is going to happen and people are talking about leaving Me: Who was talking about leaving? Player: idk like people are talking about leaving but of course is the staff stays then we'll be cool its just if bill goes then basically everybody else is leaving, then we'll have a problem Again, don't mean to get anyone riled up. I'm just saying that this may be what to expect if Bill is in fact out. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 They'll have a choice to make and it's unfortunate they've been caught in the middle. Life will go on and I'm sure everyone will wish those who leave the best wherever they go. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Idk about that. The players have given up, and it's obvious just watching them on the field. I think a new coach would be great for the players. Quote Link to comment
I Bleed RED Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have seen this before, even when I played. Everyone is talking through emotion but I doubt anyone will transfer if BC is gone. It will depend on who they bring in but I doubt any big name will leave. What school will take them at this point anyway and they will lose a year of eligibility. Just emotions right now. It's to be expected. Heck, those kids feel in their heart BC isn't doing anything wrong and it's their fault. Quote Link to comment
ToddB10000 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Players always feel this way when coaching changes are threatened, and when they occur - the players feel like outsiders while on the inside when stuff like this happens. Even when things are going bad all around them, the players and coaches have a bond - their fate is tied together, sort of - obviously you can't "fire" college players, but they feel like someone took their parent when a coach is fired. Some leave immediately. Some meet the new staff and then leave. Some stay for a while, then leave. Most just stay - these would be the ones that have wanted to wear the white helmet with the big red N on the side since they could walk... Quote Link to comment

True, if they didn't come here to represent NU football then they might leave and that is fine with me also. BC was not Vince Lombardi or Joe Pa so them backing just him is a joke if any of them do. Like I said, I doubt anyone will leave. It's not as easy as you think to just change schools unless you go to a Div 1-AA. If they want that then Adios! Quote Link to comment

I really don't think very many players will leave the program when Cali and company depart the area, but if some do..So be it. GBR Quote Link to comment

Rygolf25 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well, my opinion is that the way this team has played so far this year, those players that are thinking about leaving better start selling themselves pretty damn quickly to improve their marketability...other schools haven't had much positive to go off of this year if they are going to bring in our players...unless of course our kickers want to leave. They are the mid-season MVP's. Quote Link to comment
huskerhoma Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I know for a fact that this one will stay. Just letting you know. I hope all the players that are dedicated to the university stay. There is no doubt we have the talent to move forward. GBR! Quote Link to comment
newenglandhusker Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I know for a fact that this one will stay. Just letting you know. Not to be a jerk or anything but have you asked him why they haven't been playing if they're all behind the coaching staff? Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I can't say its unexpected. If our last change is any indication, it's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. Hang on. Quote Link to comment

I disagree. I honestly believe this team will win 8 games with a new coach,possibly more with a bowl game. A new staff and this team goes 8-5 with a bowl worst case. 10-4 best case.
