Of the programs that were great in the 1990’s, who many would call “blue bloods” of college football, even at 0-4, Nebraska feels to be in the best position moving forward. I don’t know why, but even to this day I compare Nebraska to other 90s greats just like I checked in on how they were doing back in the 90s.
-miami: currently by far the best team, but look to have been topped out with Richt. They won’t go up, they won’t go down.
-Tennessee: bad team. Train wreck of an athletic department. A head coach not many Vol fans are really that excited about. Feel they are sort of already thinking about who to hire in 2-3 years
-Florida state: Fans already done with Taggart. He really isn’t that great of a coach. FSU downgrades from Jimbo.
-Florida: seems like a revolving door there. Mullen was probably a good hire, but seems the pressure in Gainesville and the expectations are extremely high. They just fired a coach who had won two straight SEC East titles.
Nebraska: Awful start, by far the worst start of any of the above mentioned teams. But Nebraska just started a complete athletic and football program overhaul. They have a competent athletic director and a young head coach who gets the state and the program. No one saw this start happening, but if anyone can weather this dreadful start, it’s a Nebraskan, who played Nebraska football during its greatest times.
moving forward, even with a disappointed start, I feel best about Nebraska’s future compared to any of the other 90s powers. And around the time those other teams are on the coaching carousel again hoping to get back to their prime, Nebraska will probably be hitting their stride with Frost.
