Enhance Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The only caveat I have to JP getting a little fiery with pessimistic fans is this - he's getting paid $300,000 to be the Bo Pelini Underling defensive coordinator at Nebraska. He's making a lot of money to do one job, and I'm not saying that job is easy, but he gets paid a lot of money to do what is a relatively trivial job (in the grand scheme of things). And, his one job got an F for performance last weekend. I love the fire, love the intensity, love the passion. But, instead of getting riled up, earn your paycheck. 4 Quote Link to comment
Nobody Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 That video was directed at everyone at HuskerBoard... and all husker fans on any message board or social network in general. I like JP after seeing this. Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Nobody likes being called an idiot. That's what JP did. And then he makes idiotic comments. I got news for him. Nobody, and this means me and all the other Husker fans that pack Memorial and hang on the play by play every Saturday, needs Husker football. We can do just fine without it. 2 Quote Link to comment

For now, JP gets the Recap: 1) When you can't win the conference title, win the conference title. 2) Expectations should be to win them all, yet incredulity exists after JP says we could still win the national championship. 3) Incorrect assumption that JP thinks we can still win the MNC. 4) Because the defense gave up yards similar to a 2007 team that didn't go bowling after a game in week 2, we're doomed to the same fate. 5) Via reading comprehension skills, every coach should be worried about their job security. awarded to tmfr15. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nobody Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Is the guy with the questions a media guy? I swear I've seen him before. You can see him at the 2:00 mark. /edit: That's not one of the LJS writers, is it? kinda looks like.. Quote Link to comment

He is doing his job. If he's this fiery with the fans, he can be that fiery with the players...the defense needs to be bought into, and maybe that was an indirect goal of his rant.

zoogs Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I really wonder what people want the coaches to say instead. "Yeah, we suck this year. We have no chance at the national title. We're a second rate team. Guys.... :'( guys.... :'( hold me." ^the ideazed quote(?) of every Husker coach and player at every interview It's more or less what the asker was looking for. He wasn't asking a question apparently, so much as trying to make a downer statement about the team. Little wonder that JP wasn't having any of that. And to that I say bravo, JP. Besides, he reigned it in at the end and they came to a mutual, civilized understanding. Quote Link to comment

tmfr15 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 If you can't win out after your first loss.... you can still win the conference title. Wisky had two losses and won the conference title. The beginning expecation for every year is the same, WIN THEM ALL. Kind of hard to WIN THEM ALL when we are 1-1 He said a one-loss team won the national title, so it's still out there. Nevermind that this team is unranked and in a fairly weak league. When you give up 600 yards in a game, and the previous game had Southern Miss going up and down the field for most of the first half and the opening possesion of the second, it is hard to believe that you can remedy that in one week, especially by playing players that, previous to this week, the coaches were not confident in. Also, if a coach can't win nine games at Nebraska, he should worry about his job. I think 8-5 might be tolerated OK. 7-6 is very shaky. Per TO himself, you go 6-6 or less and you can pretty much pack your bags. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The expecations have and always should be..... WIN THEM ALL.... when that is taken away, win out and win the conference title.... Hey, I'm glad you and JP agree exactly. You are aware of this, right? Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hypocracy? By expecting the coaches on the freaking staff to respect the fans and not call us door knob licking morons. Yea, you're totally right. Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 JP doesn't agree with me. He says that they can win them all this year. I am not good at math... is 11-1 undefeated? Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 JP needs to be pissed. His defense embarrassed themselves last week Quote Link to comment
