You do not have to be old or young to understand college football. This a major game of sales. Good sales, highend buyers you do well, poor sales, low investment buyers you end up where we are.
If you do not sell the program and all of its attributes you fail. Too many other places for the average/above average/top player to go. Other programs that will recruit what we want and some of what we do not even look at. That hurt this program.
I fit into the category of old, not 1920's old but close enough. You have to sell what the customers want and are buying. We are now and I am all for it. I could care less if there is ever another option play ran at Nebraska, I do not care if they paint the field purple and pink. I do not care if they put a dome on it. All I care about is that the program is clean and kids come to play their best. And that we are out actually selling our program from day break to sundown every single day. That includes the staff and every single fan that calls himself/herself a Husker. If you are no promoting this program you are not a true fan.
I do not know, nor does anyone else know for a fact we have the right coach, but one single year is not enought to know one way or another. I do not judge a coaches success on winning National Titles. Those are more luck than anything else the way the system is now. Play hard and be in every game and I will be happy to continue to invest my hard earned money into this program as I have for the last 25 years.
