There are personel constraints right now, we don't have alot to work with. You don't go from bad to good, you have to get to average first. I understand everything you're saying we just disagree on whether or not chin is the guy thats gonna do it. 4 minutes ago, Husker in WI said: Fun fact, we are paying him less than we paid Diaco! And last year, we actually still payed Diaco more than Chins because we paid off his $875k salary for the year. Gross Quote Link to comment

I get that he doesn't have a lot to work with but he has failed to do simple things like match up personnel when the other teams offense subs in different personnel. Congrats he's less bad than diaco. Give him a raise. 116th>>92nd +24 92nd>>68th +24 Avg:+24 At this rate 68>>44 in 2020 44>>20 in 2021 Quote Link to comment

Yea but lets stop with the misconceptions. The defense has improved at a pretty significant rate. Quote Link to comment

Also lets see where those rankings are after we play Wisconsin and iowa. Quote Link to comment
Huckleberry Muhammad Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 This thread has been a good read for me. I like seeing the title now; it's not as jokey as it seemed at first. It now has a twinge of "stranger things have happened" to it. Even a "we can do it if we put together a complete game" fantasy. And the game is still well over a week away. Damn, sometimes being a Husker fan makes a person crazy. Damn I'm going there with my wife and daughter after an hour or so in the Zoo Bar. And damn I'm going to think about this thread title and damn I'm wanting that f#&%ing win. Damn! Do it, guys! Give us something special this year. Win this.. damn "impossible" game! Thanks for the thread. Sorry.. .. carry on.... 1 Quote Link to comment

But with 3 games left and a team that isn't exactly trending up i would be suprised. I guess the thing that bothers me the most about chin is the there are little things he could do that would make those numbers even better. Like not staying in a base 3-4 when the other team has 4 wideouts on the field. For 800k a year i wish we didn't have an inexperienced coach that had to learn on the job. Quote Link to comment

Wisconsin has a good offense but Maryland and Iowa aren't as good so I think we can finish close to where we are now. You say he could do little things to make it better but how do we know that qould really make things better? Especially Saturday, we were extremely limited at DB. He isn't perfect but I'd like to see what he can do with the guys they are bringing in because I think there is alot of talent there. Quote Link to comment

Next year the defense will be young but it should "look" closer to i think what they want from body type and numbers. Hopefully we wont have to see as many linebackers covering receivers. 1 Quote Link to comment

I just think Chinander has gotten an unfair shake given he is getting us better. Its not static though next year we have to be better in every way. This isn't good enough and I think they all know that. But its a process and I can see it coming along. Quote Link to comment

That's my biggest concern going forward. I'm not sure who that pass rusher will be and so far chin hasn't been able to manufacture it by bringing extra pressure. Quote Link to comment

All 3 starters on the DL are gone next year. Quote Link to comment

Next years defensive ends will most likely be stille starting on one side with either thomas, Rogers or robinson on the other. Thats a lot of youth or guys that haven't proven to be pass rushers. At best the defense is probably a few years away from being able to pressure the qb with 4 assuming they recruit well. Quote Link to comment

The Davis twins were experienced...... Quote Link to comment
