Add in a once in a century global pandemic and NIL policies and it’s not hard to understand why a first time P5 head coach trying to rebuild a dumpster fire may warrant a bit of slack. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment

ACU is a strange school. They get a lot of good players who were overlooked in Texas and surrounding areas. Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Why pay 1 coach 10-12mil a year when you could be finding better methods to pay 10-12 kids $1mil/year. With that said, any player should be potential, it’s boosters money anyway. Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Because the coach has to navigate all this nonsense and put a team on the field on Saturdays, maybe? let the players make money, we’ve arrived on that. But to think a coach who has to rake thru the mud in the portal and put a team forward to try and win games should make LESS money is stupid. Some leave some come here. How cool! The players have a voice! the coaches are getting looooong contracts and the players can still get paid. Not enough? Bail out and go portal. welcome to the end of “our team, ride or die”. It’s over, and the coaches are secure more than ever. Glad we still have Frost to do it for us. It’s a s#!t show out there, folks Quote Link to comment

Simply put, progress.... 0.500 this season with a veteran defensive group and a 4 year starting QB would have been very encouraging. Real missed opportunity. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Since you are new to my posting, I will cut you a break. I have not watched a Husker game since CU more than 2 years ago... The meltdown in Boulder. In terms of finding something else to do, I get my kicks from posing thought-provoking and dare I say controversial comments to the loyalist masses each and every day.

Your point comes with an asterisk, as it did not exist then. However, any coach worth their weight in the Power 5 leagues would not honestly argue that 1 year players through the transfer portal are the solution to finding sustained success. It is one thing to fill a temporary roster hole, or upgrade a skill position for one season, but it is quite another to make the transfer portal the centerpiece of your roster strategy. To me, it speaks volumes about not only our inability to recruit high school athletes, but our inability to develop talent. Quote Link to comment
