I lack mind reading skills, but yes 9+ wins has been "standard" in Pelini's tenure.....and we haven't been able to say that since T.O. If that doesn't get it, you are welcome to ask a direct question.
So, would you rather have nine wins every year? Or a few seasons like, say Auburns from 2010-present?
Auburn's. I know you and I want the same thing for Husker football. I get that. I understand we simply don't agree on the methodology of getting there. I think you've mentioned you would be fine with playing musical coaches. Schools like Auburn and USC have seen extreme peaks and valleys the past 10-15 years. I think Pelini can get us to the next level. You don't.
Musical coaches is a weird term. I haven't started trumpeting for change until this year. Obviously coaches need time, but yeah I'm starting to have my doubts on Pelini. If I saw any glimmers of change or contrition for his mistakes and actions, I'd be happier, but as of now I just see him doubling down. I find that scary.
You see him doubling down and that scares you--that's because you aren't in the meetings, the film rooms, the recruiting trail, you don't really dissect the other teams like the coaches do, you really have no idea about how young talent is being developed, you don't really know about injuries and personal lives and how that affects each individual player as a human being...
And by "you" I mean WE.
WE have no idea about the real workings inside north stadium. It scares me too that we have 4 losses every season, and it scares me that our special teams are so horrible.
But the only thing we know is the product on the field, mostly 12-13 Saturdays out of 52. If we were 7-5, 9-4, 6-7 it would speak more about abject failure than us actually being pretty close, you know, as far as WE know.
