Absolutely, it's been a combination of both.Great post. My point in being very sarcastic there was to make fun of the narrative I've seen on the board lately where the previous staff is being shown in a negative light every chance they get and not putting the necessary criticism on our players.You know you'll get comments like this from time to time here:
and I gotta be honest, I've looked back at some of the games and Beck did do some good stuff (and some very stupid stuff) but really, when it comes to Bo Pelini and Beck and acknowledging anything that staff did well, it would be a lot easier to give them credit if they weren't such arrogant f'ing d'bags.Mavric, you must not be familiar with the new Huskerboard. Beck was a dumb-dumb and everything about the staff is superior and will thus fix our problems.
TA is a returning member of the team and thus we are required to be optimistic, even though we're familiar with his play and ability to play QB. In no way was his decision making his fault, it was all on Beck (dang him!) and his inherent limitations as a QB will soon be fixed by one off season.
Especially Pelini with things like this story and the two audio tapes. Beck had his moments where he just came off as stubborn, unwilling to change, and I think he held a lot of resentment for the fan base as well.
It's a simple concept really, I'm a lot more likely to defend a guy I like no matter how wrong or right he might be. I think that's human nature isn't it? It's my nature anyway. If I don't like you, I'm likely to tell you to f#*k off back to Ohio.
Nebraska's problem the last 15 seasons has been both talent and coaching.
With me though, I'm always going to revert back to dishing just a little more blame to the grown a$$ men who are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars to teach these kids work ethic, commitment, and the game of football.
19-22 years old is an age where a strong leader can mold them in very positive or negative ways, not just as a person, but also as a football player.
