Crusader Husker Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I think it will be interesting to see how it goes with a new QB next year. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Take off your Husker Hat and pretend you are a 18 kid from somewhere not close to Ohio or Nebraska. Nebraska has done nothing nationally since you can remember. OSU is in contention for a NC every damn year. 2 Quote Link to comment
Vince R. Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Urban is a tremendous motivator. He knows how to get guys to buy in and play their guts out. Thats majority of it. X's and O's is something else though. Quote Link to comment

Kiyoat Husker Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Saying Urban Meyer has under-performed at a school like OSU is a little silly IMO. Comparing recruiting rankings with final standings becomes far less accurate as you get to the top teams. Mainly because it is d@mn hard to consistently finish in the top 5, regardless of talent level. It's a hell of a lot easier to over-perform your talent when you average in the 40's or 50's, like Riley did at the other OSU. 1 Quote Link to comment

r06ue1 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I think Tannor signing was really what pushed JJB over to OSU. If Tannor hadn't signed, I believe he would have signed with us. Quote Link to comment

I like Nebraska's staff and that they seem to genuinely care about the players. A lot of college players aren't destined for the NFL, and I want to see these guys succeed in life after college as well. Quote Link to comment

How can Urb even be compared to Saban? Quote Link to comment

Saban at Alabama has had the most talent of any team in America on its roster, and its not even close. In order for Saban to perform up to the same standard, he would have to win every single national championship over a ten-year span. He has done very well, but technically you would have to say he has under-performed his team's talent. That's my point. After you get above a certain rank, the talent level means less as you compare it to on-field ranking just because the difficulty level of being undefeated is too d@mn high. Besides, who ever claimed Urb was better than Saban? Nobody, that's who. Straw-man argument. They are both in the top-5 for active coaches IMO. I think the argument you were making was that Urb's coaching was sub-standard. So compare him with a coach on the level of sub-standards you are referring to. Quote Link to comment

I'm comparing him to coaches that people are saying he is as good as. Not sure what you want. If hes a top 5 coach then i'll compare him to those coaches. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Things you see on post boards... 1. Meyer is a bad coach 2. Supermodels aren't "that hot" 3. He only benches 225 19 times, I can do it 21 times 4 Quote Link to comment

Either your good enough to go pro or your not. Most of the kids ohio state recruits are top notch players. Bosa did not go pro because ohio state made it happen. That dude was a stud and was going pro anywhere he went. Yeah it was a good thing Walter Payton and Jerry Rice went to OSU and Alabama otherwise they wouldn't have played in the nfl....oh wait Quote Link to comment
