a coach could not win 10+ where they are currently at and could still win 10+ at nebraska. we have pretty good resources and a pretty weak schedule.

F'ing amazing post, Polo. I'll add this:
As I look around college football, I see two types of coaches: Those whose schemes make good players great and those whose schemes make great players good. Stanford, Oregon, Mike Leach's Texas Tech teams are examples of simple, focused schemes that make good players great. Callahan and Pelini's schemes are examples of schemes that hold their talent back.
I just get the feeling that the talent that comes through Lincoln (and actually stays) is being held back because of the coaching staff and schemes. Don't you feel in your gut that if a motivated young coach like McNeese State's took over we'd have a 10-2 program in no time? Honesty, I'm tired of being jealous of 1-AA programs' coaching staffs whose teams of mediocre athletes come into Memorial and manage to hang with NU by executing a disciplined game plan and simple, focused schemes to perfection.
We need to face the music. Our teams are mentally and physically weak. We suffer far too many non-contact injuries and looks weak and tired late in games. We constantly seem to lack fire. We play sloppy, mistake-prone football and are frequently out executed even by small but well-coached programs. We are often out coached and it shows in our failure to make in-game adjustments.
The only thing holding us back now is not the coaching staff. It's the fans and the members of the administration who refuse to concede the obvious and will therefore keep this program in the dark ages until we clean house and start anew.

Good points on the "wasting" of talent. 2009 comes to mind. One of the brst defenses ever but we lost 4 games cuz we couldnt eek out a simple td here or there.
There are many universities other than Nebraska who the same holds true for......and they haven't even won 9 games consistently.....which is how we got on a list with Oregon and 'Bama.

Didn't Bo say that they were out-coached and the team needed to take a good hard look in the mirror, starting with him?
Yes, so can we stop with the talk of how unfathomably endless and infinite our resources are?
