2-3 for the first time since '59, and considering what's happened, it's not totally out of the ordinary for Husker fans to thinking about the next guy. There are so many reasons to be questioning the legitimacy and credibility of every single one of the men employed to coach football at UNL. A few:
1) 30+ mph gusty winds, and yet Armstrong uncorks bomb after bomb. The fact that ANY pass plays were sent in when we were against the wind is mind-boggling.
2) Janovich rumbles on FB traps vs Southern Miss, and Husker Nation is happy, living a little bubble of 90's nostalgia for a moment while drowning in 15 years of mediocrity. For some reason, the coaching staff thinks a good plan is to give this kid the ball on stretch runs to the boundary? He is the quintessential FULLBACK. North-South, not East-West.
3) Speaking of the running game, Devine Ozigbo looks seriously like the second coming of Ken Clark. Really - his power, speed, and pad level really remind me of Clark. Anyway, where has this guy been? He looks like the best we have, and after a 50 yd gain, they take him out? 10 yds a carry, and he only gets 7 totes? Seriously, WHAT THE HECK? At the end, when we were finally feeding Jano up the gut, maybe pull it once and pitch it to Oz?
4) The 3rd Down play. Already been discussed ad nauseum, but it's pretty clear the coaching staff absolutely screwed up in multiple ways.
5) The coaching staff should have taken responsibility after the game, and it doesn't appear they did. Sure, the players didn't do what they needed to, but the coaches certainly didn't put them in a position to be successful.
If anyone knows football, it's Nebraska fans - we were admittedly spoiled for 40 years, but in that time, we grew to know what good football looks like, and we certainly aren't seeing it now. The pattern is pretty simple - if a coach can't produce some good football, he is replaced. THAT'S why we're thinking about the next guy - this staff has already shown repeatedly they simply don't have what it takes - why should we expect anything different?
