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. Instead of being hungry to talk huskers i'm now hungry for food. Thank you. Quote Link to comment

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. I don't think anyone is "exempting" him. With the stories that have come out about how Riley and Diaco tied the assistant's hands (Williams, Parella, etc) and wouldn't let them do any actual coaching or teaching...I'm willing to give Parella the benefit of the doubt. Just like I'm willing to give Deonte Williams (former DB coach) the benefit of the doubt. 3 Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Ya, from everything i heard from those in the know, Diaco basically did all the coaching and basically dint allow position coaches to really do anything. Did alot of full team defense work with Diaco being the only voice. Iheard there was hardly any separate group work which will definitely take its toll on development. There was quite a bit of dysfunction. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don’t know if people said exactly that everyone sucked but Parella, however there were several people that wanted him to be the only coach retained. Might just be arguing over semantics at this point, I’m not sure. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 One reason I feel bad for John is I think a lot of people, fairly or unfairly, believe he was largely hired to satiate the masses and have a 'Nebraska guy' in the fold. I don't know if that played a significant role, but, I don't recall his résumé being overly strong. Quote Link to comment

I think he was hamstrung by the change in defense during his time at NU, and Diaco wanting to micro-manage everything. Parrella will probably never coach at NU again, but he will be fine in his future endeavors. 1 Quote Link to comment

I can appreciate the humor in the irony . But there is a huge difference between the two staffs. One was routinely finding themselves in the bottom 50% of the PAC12, the other just came off of an undefeated season and major Bowl win. Edited February 11, 2018 by funhusker 2 Quote Link to comment

There was quite a bit of dysfunction. Yeah, supposedly Diaco gave hardly any time to position drills. And Parella and D. Williams wanted a much more aggressive style of play, but Diaco wouldn't have it. 3 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Our best unit all year on D was Dline imo. They broke down at times late in games when our offense was putting them on the field 30 seconds after they got off the field. Thought guys like Stille and Stolenberg stood out as consistently solid. Couldn't get alot of pressure but I wouldn't put all of that on the front 3 1 Quote Link to comment

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? Maybe he wants to watch his son, who is a Husker, play his final year, since he is getting paid to not work and all. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 In reality, with the brain trust that was Riley, Langs and Diaco, IMHO it is truly hard to accurately gauge the competencies of any of the position coaches. Throw in the rumors/comments about the level of conditioning and there is only so much an assistant can do with that. 2 Quote Link to comment

I am certain he was well-qualified for his role, light resume aside. Quote Link to comment

They did that by "squeezing" the pocket and keeping the QB contained within said pocket. If they got pressure as a by-product of sqeezing and containing, then bonus but "getting pressure' wasn't their job in Diaco's scheme. 4 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 ^ Yeah, last spring & summer people kept bringing up that high grade for sacks/pressures/etc that PFF gave Freedom, and I kept saying don't expect him to put up anywhere near those numbers in a 3-4, that's just not how the system works. Being a D-lineman in a 3-4 scheme is a bit of an unglamorous job because you don't get to be the playmaker very often. Quote Link to comment
