Oh, I'm sorry.....let me rephrase a specific question about one of the premier programs in the country as far as resources that we call DONU..........neither Meyer or Saban would come to Nebraska because a) we wouldn't take a look at either of them....or b) neither of them would take a look at us? Again, this is based on available resources, which every elite coach wants at their disposal.
I assure you that NU's resources are beyond adequate for an elite coach. This has been covered
By resources, you have to include local talent. It's one thing Nebraska severely lacks. Our local recruiting base is non-existent compared to other top programs. Which means NU needs to innovate and figure out how to catch up. This year looks promising.
We aren't breaking new ground here for Gods sake. We have five National Championship Trophies in glass at Memorial Stadium. It's been done here before. When we weren't winning titles, we still competed at a very high level and have earned the distinction as one of the nations elite football programs. This was before all the advantages modern technology has given us. There's no debating it's easier to reach further and see more athletes now a days. It's been done here before...... This argument is stale. People need to stop pretending Nebraska is some poor unfortunate hobbled program that can't compete with the big boys, its ridiculous.
Yet as much as we hear recruits say that they don't even know where Nebraska is, that they had no idea that the facilities are that nice, that they thought that the school was located in the middle of a snow covered corn field, that they say they'd rather play 300 miles from home as opposed to 1500 miles from home, the reality never sinks in to some.
Cuz darn it, we're Nebraska, and I want us to be the same program we were 20 years ago,,so it should just magically happen. It is our birthright.....
