It would be progress whether or not you consider it progress. Unless you've been living under a rock the last 6 years, it has been the primary goal of the program. For years we were "this close" to hitting that goal. How quickly we forget.

I sort of agree. But you have to filter that through the "look how crappy we've been for 20 odd years" screen for the point to drop through. Sadly most bowls are for losers now (losers of half their freakin' season). So you're right about that. We didn't used to be like that, in that tier. We were elite, counted on to dominate most games we played, and to go to one of the bowl games that people payed attention to.
Now we don't go to any. So being able to win six games per season is now "progress." We did that and much more a while back but with a coach named Bo who disgusted and scared certain people so we turned on him and lost him, and ended up with what has turned out to be basically thieves scamming us for millions then heading out grinning to their resorts and yachts.
Now we've got a guy who actually won us 5 out of 7 games so far. That was seeming fine until we got trampled on and laughed at by (drum roll) Indiana. Now that 6th game does not seem like a forgone conclusion. That's present day Nebraska progress.

The Garrett McGuire hire still pisses me off. We need legit coaches not hiring our buddies kids!

Meh... The kid is obviously sharp and has a bright future. In the grand scheme of things, him being here or not likely doesn't change anything other than he is for sure loyal to Matt and should be another voice of complete support for his mission.

Progress to me is less about a bowl game but how we look finishing the season. If we play competitive with Ohio state. Win a couple more games this year and the D breakdowns minimize and the offense doesn’t look so pathetic. The eye test means more to me. But if we win one more and it looks ugly doing it and lose the rest of the games I don’t see progress. I see we are a s#!tty team and had an easier schedule than years past that gave us the illusion of progress because we got 6. Sure be happy the kids get a bowl game but I will never celebrate winning half our games.

To be honest I was more optimistic last year because we didn’t get murdered. We lost close games. The narrative was we were close in so many games. Heck don’t turn the ball over 5 times a game and maybe we are a 8 win team. Well minimal turnovers this year and we still barely win our games and even got 1 blowout so far with possibly another this weekend. That gives me less reason to be optimistic

I thought that point was sort of embedded in my (quoted) post up there. Maybe I should have made that bit more clear.

Totally disagree. When you see the lack of blocking effort, technique and route running by the receivers on the field, it’s quite evident the coach in charge of said players is vastly unqualified to do the job and it’s costing this program needed development.
We should hire the kid, when his present is already bright. Let someone else develop him as a coach.
It certainly is part of it

Yep, they won't fire Rhule this year, but the seat is now red hot. He has not gotten rid of dysfunction that has hurt this program for a while.

Does Matt Rhule still have your support?? Not from me. Almost 2 years in and we get beat by a first year head coach. Disgraceful :flush
