jmfb Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Coach Blake cheated to get recruits at both North Carolina and Oklahoma His exploits in that arena are legendary He was one of the most sought after assistant coaches in the US at one time NU has rarely had top 10 or even top 20 recruiting classes- expecially of late Yet when Blake is here- somehow we land in the top 5? Does anyone feel Coach Blake cheated while he was here at NU? Im a bit on the fence about cheating With so much $$$ at risk It's so easy for a disgruntled player, parent or ex coach to rat out the University- or blackmail them It would seem like a LOT more cheating would come out The SEC certainly has been dirty in the past and there is plenty of smoke blowing from that direction, but how do these guys get away with it for so long without it blowing up in their faces?

EZ-E Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 He gave the compliance department fits and he knew how to toe the line. Quote Link to comment
jmfb Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 In speaking to some of the present coaching staff They mentioned more than once that they inherited a number of "turds" who had been told what they wanted to hear by the previous coaching staff Not sure if that is all Coach Blake used to lure kids in or was it more than that? Talked to Phillip Dillards HS Head Coach this year- said Blake just told the kid everything he wanted to hear- said Dillard was phenomenal athlete- but he wouldnt have recommended him to ANY college coach- nightmare Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 We need help recruiting, wouldn't mind having him back. And if that's all he did then he isn't "cheating" Quote Link to comment
jmfb Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 No chance any school like Nebraska will have anything to do with Coach Blake- take that to the bank Maybe an SEC school, think Kentucky or someone on the edge like a Mississippi State, Mississippi, heck maybe even an Illinois, Virginia, Oklahoma State or Oregon State Quote Link to comment

There's never been a hint of a cheating scandal there and Coach Riley is known as one of the good guys in college athletics. Coach Blake did coach at Nebraska. And not that long ago.

Yes. but Jim Tressel was also widely perceived as the 2nd coming of Jesus. Then it came out how much of a total prick he actually was. It's happening more and more. The need to win big and win now is bringing out the worst in folks. Quote Link to comment

That was the point of the thread that I started- did Blake cheat? OSU under Erickson was dirty- not sure how embedded the dirt was: http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindbeaversbeat/2010/09/oregon_states_fiesta_bowl_team.html Quote Link to comment
dylan Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'd suggest we just be thankful that he's gone and that he didn't get us in any trouble and leave it alone. Quote Link to comment
