Spooky Tooth Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Whatever happened to John? Has he landed a gig yet? Really feel for him. He got a shot at the big time and landed in a coaching regime that could not have sucked worse. I hope his career will not be poisoned by the Riley era taint. No one really got a chance to see what he could do with a good staff around him. Also gotta feel for the DL players.....yet another coach. Rambling further afield I hate to wish ill on anyone but I pray that Mike Cavanaugh hangs it up. That guy couldn't coach a cat to have an attitude. /rant 1 Quote Link to comment

I mean if Cavanaugh, Kevin Cosgrove, and Mark Banker can all find employment elsewhere, there's zero reason to think JP can't. Edited February 10, 2018 by Making Chimichangas 2 Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 He had another year on his contract, so maybe he’s just taking it easy and trying to figure out what he wants in his next stop. I think he has a son who is graduating high school this year, so maybe he’s spending time with him. He can spend the next year networking and will probably get back in coaching in a year.

huskerfan333157 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The husker fans mindset, "everyone on the coaching staff was horrible except parella. Parella is a Nebraska boy and Nebraska boys are never bad." Sorry, but parella didn't improve the dline and he was just as bad as the rest of the coaching staff. Just because he's a Nebraska man doesn't mean he gets exempted from being an average to below average coach. 9 Quote Link to comment

As for your other comment.... im fairly certain that the fans wanted the williamssssss to stay as well. The general mindset was that diaco, cav, and Riley were the problem. Wow how quickly people make blanket statements. 4 Quote Link to comment

To top that off, you first mock the mind set of “everyone on the staff was horrible” but then you say “he was just as bad as the rest of them”. So, it would appear, you are making the statement that you’re mocking. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I am glad Frost brought his entire staff from UCF with him. They will recruit kids to play for Nebraska, not to just play for one coach or the other. They are also a tight knit group and know what it takes to rebuild a program. 3 Quote Link to comment

I'll stand corrected if anyone can show me proof but don't recall anyone on this board saying that ever saying that everyone on the staff sucked except Parrella. Quote Link to comment

Just because he's a Nebraska man doesn't mean he gets exempted from being an average to below average coach. The other husker fan mindset is that all d-lines should be like the 4-3, penetrating and aggressive. These same husker fans also fail to realize that there are other schemes, like the 3-4 where the d-lines job isn't to make plays in the back field, but rather consume double teams, clog the middle to force the play out side, where the 4 linebackers (who where atrocious last year, minus gafford) are suppose to make plays. John's 3 men out of 11 did what was asked. It's not their fault the other units didn't perform and that the DC was hired out of a mental asylum. 8 minutes ago, Spooky Tooth said: I'll stand corrected if anyone can show me proof but don't recall anyone on this board saying that ever saying that everyone on the staff sucked except Parrella. Too lazy to go back through my posts but i did defend Parrella during the season while not really sticking up for the rest of the staff so i kinda fall in to that here. 1 Quote Link to comment

And yes he did not have the DL looking good. But guess what, we are paying millions to a failed HC, go figure. Edited February 10, 2018 by dvdcrr Quote Link to comment

Just because he's a Nebraska man doesn't mean he gets exempted from being an average to below average coach. We have literally no idea whether Parella was "just as bad as the rest of the coaching staff." That's just silly. Just as silly as assuming he's a great coach because he played here. It's difficult to tell whether a position coach is bad unless there are some obvious signs, like never rotating out the starters, the 2nd string playing better than the starters, raving like a lunatic (ok, that was a coordinator), things like that. There were no obvious signs that Parella was a bad coach, imho. Edited February 10, 2018 by Moiraine 3 Quote Link to comment
Wunderkind Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Many people have defended both William's and Bray as well. Hard to say which position coaches are good or bad when both coordinators did such a poor job. On defense in particular the info about Diaco really makes it impossible to determine anything about the position coaches. 2 Quote Link to comment

Wow how quickly people make blanket statements. Williams was a buffoon and I am glad he will never set foot in this campus again. Not an ounce of accountability shown and it was reflected by the team. Guy can go be the "best in the business" at Duke or something. Notice how no huge programs picked him up? 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Sker fer life Posted February 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2018 I am a cook in a restaurant, the other day I opened a loaf of bread from one of our vendors and there was a bit of mold on the heal. The rest of it looked just fine, good texture, color, not stale at all. I tossed the whole loaf, felt a little guilty about it, there was probably some good pieces in there, pieces that could have contributed to nice club sandwich, or double stacked grilled cheese w/bacon. In the end however it was that speck of mold that forced my hand into thinking the whole loaf was contaminated and had to get thrown out. I wanted to put out a product I felt confident with. Opening a fresh loaf gave me that confidence. 10 Quote Link to comment
