I think the biggest thing that is wrong with Husker football is the impatience and angst around the program. These kids feel the pressure and it brings out the worst in them, collectively. This team is still 5-4 and seemingly every realistic goal that they should have is still out there. But at this point, it doesn't seem likely. The fans have had 15 years of this crap and lost their patience two coaching staffs back. It's a tough situation and this team is not handling it well.
Side note- They need a new OC and special teams coach but that's not the biggest problem in my opinion because that's an easier fix.
I think its simpler than ppl want to admit.
You hire a proven OC like Whipple, who had no desire to work and develop ik, and you get proven results.
You hire Chinander at DC, and he has a history of bend dont break defenses, you get a bunch of up and down years of defense that gives up yards.
You hire a DC like White, who's produced some good units who get aggressive and disrupt behind the LOS, you get a defense that has some good games and even good seasons creating negative plays.
You hire an OC in Satt with no history of success. Huge history of turning the ball over. Never developed an all conference QB. Avg passing offenses that consistently rank in the 90s and 100s.....you get an offense that turns the ball over and can't generate plays in the passing game and doesn't develop the QBs.
You are, who you've proven to be.
