Unpopular roster opinion

Still not the type of player we are referring to plain and simple. 

Yes agreed I don't know how he even got brought up in this thread lol

I agree with what are saying in general.  Coach can say “ listen you won’t play so it may be best for you to move on”. But if the player committed to the school, as long as he/she is going to practices, participating in all workouts, keeping up grades and is a student in good standing, I don’t believe a coach should ever be able to say we are taking you off scholarship because we found someone better.  

If the player and coach MUTUALLY agree to part ways, then that’s fine by me.  I also believe that if a player leaves a program, they should be immediately eligible at whatever school that player chooses to go.  I will always believe this until they make coaches sit out a year like players when they leave a school for another school.  

I agree with you on both points!

It’s called Sabanizing a roster.

Well said..thats the first thing I thought of when I read the lead post.

My last word on this is that people are truly grasping at straws if they think coaches need to concentrate on the last three or four players on the roster to turn around Nebraska football.  I think most of the team's playing problems last year manifested themselves in those that actually saw the field, but I don't claim to understand all the nuances of big time championship football that led us down this rabbit hole.

For the most part, yes, the problem was the players who saw the field. But, it’s a numbers game. If you continually cull off the players at the bottom that will never see the field, then you cycle through more players to find the difference makers on the field. So, theoretically, you end up with more difference makers.

I saw there are several jrs graduating today, some of which have given very little to earn their scholarship.  My question is can we start moving these guys along and create more space for contributors or new blood.  Hell give it to a walkon that contributed.  We need to start helping these guys to better situations away from Nebraska and open up more scholarships yr over yr.

Sounds like an SEC head coach, cut throat...

Moving-along a non-contributor before he gets his degree is cut-throat. Doing it after he graduates is just common-sense roster management.
