Zaimejs Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 We've had a lot of posts giving stats at his former schools and it isn't pretty. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 He sucked at his past jobs too. Just go ask Wisconsin Quote Link to comment
knownothing Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 He sucked at his past jobs too. Just go ask Wisconsin That's kind of why I asked. By brother-in-law lived in Wisconsin up until a couple of years ago and according to my wife, he thought Cos did a good job. My brother-in-law is pretty sports savvy.....I think Quote Link to comment

My brother-in-law is pretty sports savvy.....I think No disrespect toward Wisconsin...but they've never really been a national powerhouse of 30 years + consective top 25 rankings. They've always been good...but they just don't have the tradition that NU has. Cosgrove is probably a serviceable DC to a place that doesn't expect perfection. We've been spoiled the last 35 years. We expect more. Quote Link to comment

We expect more. That's a good answer. When coaching defense for as storied a unit as the Blackshirts of Nebraska one must aspire to excellence, and not the kind of excellence that BC imagines.

AR Husker Fan Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Interesting - Wisconsin has traditionally been a power running team. Control the clock, keep the defense off the field. Could it be that the reason they never saw this kind of a melt down with Cosgrove is due to the fact that they limited the dependence on the defense? In other words, unlike with the hot-and-cold offense we've seen at NU these past four years, in which the defense frequently has been called upon to bail out the offense and has had to remain on the field for extended periods of time throughout games?

Captain K Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 What kind of job did Cosgrove do in his past jobs? A guy who looked a hell of a lot like him (wristbands and all) used to clean the bathrooms at my elementary school. I've seen cleaner toilets, but nothing to complain about. Quote Link to comment

The Snork Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 As a teenager he always burned the fries and dropped them on the floor before serving them and gave incorrect change. Hey Coz NO PICKLES MEANS NO PICKLES, GET IT NO PICKLES ... oh I give up. Maybe after his stint as Nebraska he can do a better job at the Mickey-D's Quote Link to comment
