It might be controversial but not realistic. With conference affiliation teams aren’t getting relegated.That feeling you get when everyone just ignores what you think is a controversial post. :flush
I don’t think anything with a Pelini can be smooth or seamless. .Part of me wonders if Pelini should have been retained through the 2017 season? I think the culture fit from Pelini/Frost would have been more seamless. Obviously the roster makeup would be different for Frost.
I wonder what the records would have looked like from 2015-2017? Would it more of the same (9-4)? Would the record start to get worse (I’m of that belief)? Would he have a breakthrough season (unlikely)?
If anything after what would be his 10th season, the optics would be better for 2/3 of the above scenarios. Nebraska could say that after a decade they were ready to go in a new direction (change from the staleness which was what the Pelini era became).
Winner!I don’t think anything with a Pelini can be smooth or seamless. .
Just think how much worse those 2009 2010 offenses would have looked with the 2019 kicking game at the helm.

I'm assuming the Coach Riley we witnessed was much less effective than the one he was in his 20s and 30s.
He had a decent run from 2006-2009 snagging 9 wins/year, stunk for 2 years and then bounced back in 2012 where they got as high as #7 in the polls. Granted, I'm not sure how much of that was Riley or the fact that he had some absolute ballers during that time like the Rodgers brothers, Brandin Cooks, Markus Wheaton (he had 3 of those dudes at the same time!!) plus Mannion at QB.When he was a lot younger, he was moving up the college ranks pretty well and ended up a HC. There were some major programs interested in him at the time.

He wasn't a HC in his 20s. He was hired at his first HC position with in the CFL at 34. In the next 4 years, he won two grey cups.He was slightly above .500 as a head coach in his 20s and 30s.
Shocking, I know.
Imagine what would have happened in those years if we had anyone other Zac Lee running the offense. If Pelini would of had his last couple years offenses with those defenses, the sky would have been the limit!
