Husker Mount Rushmore

[EZ-E]

I saw this topic come up on Sports Sound off awhile ago. Jason Peter was trying to put himself on there . Here are my thoughts.

 

Bob Devaney - This man built this program and set the standard very high. He is the reason that there have always been high expectations here at Nebraska.

 

Tom Osborne - I don't think I need to say more.

 

Bo Pelini - I know he has not done anything quite yet, but I am this confident in this man that I will throw him up there with the other two.

 

N. Suh - You can argue all that you want that there have been players better than him, even that there may be players later that will be better than he was, but this young man bridged a gap between two eras in NU football. Our rise back to the top and back to CFB relevence would not have been as quick and as smooth if it weren't for this young man.

 

When talking about a Husker Mount Rushmore you have to think that the four most important people ever in the history of Husker football have to go up there. That excludes a lot of past great players no disrespect whatsoever to them.

 

I was thinking about calling in right after Jason Peter put himself up there and saying what is above. The four most important people of all time in husker football would not include you Jason. On a side note, Jason Peter is one very jealous man. I don't like listening to him at all.

For the modern era:

 

Devaney

Osborne

Frazier

Pelini

I would put Gil up before Tommie.. as much as I love Tommie.

 

Gill was really a milestone for our program. The first black QB, lead arguably the best offensive team ever, and coached Crouch and Tommie. Without Gill as position coach, Tommie and Crouch wouldn't have had their success.

i dunno. Its a tough call. Tommie has two titles. Thats hard to overlook. Devany, 2. Osborne...3. Suh doesnt have any, sure, but hes the freshest face of a resurgence and has just about everything else. In the end, the goal is to win titles. Thats the only reason i put tommie over gill.

[shyndy]

why not other coaches like Mcbride?

[bleedNUred]

Mine would be:

Devaney

Osborne

Frazier

McBride

[JOEY]

Devaney

osborne

mcbride

herbie husker

[drewbudd]

Devaney

Osborne

Gill (because of his impact as both a player and a coach)

I agree. The two coaches that brought the program back to the top and one great QB and one great defensive player.

 

Devaney on the far left, SUH, Frazier and TO on the far right since he coached Frazier.

 

Now we just need to buy the mountain and pay for the artist.
