Dannen needs to hear from us. Abysmally bad counterfeit of Nebraska football. Unacceptable.

We are not ‘close’

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 won’t work here. First of all, nobody cares about Indiana football (except this year since they are doing good). Check back in 5 years and see if Indiana Football is still a juggernaut.

Which is exactly why it's obvious that it's not a fluke. He inherited what is probably the weakest overall program in the Big 10 (even more than NW which has actually had some pretty good teams over the years) and turned it into what might be the best team in the conference. Yes, they still have to beat OSU but that MSU squad was playing pretty well and had no trouble beating Iowa. They beat the snot out of them.

It sucks. But it's true. We have not hired a coach that doesn't care if they win. Rhule could have hired the best staff willing to come with big money. Instead hired his buddy oc. A receiver coach 3 years out of puberty. And kept an oline coach that has not made any improvement in 3 years. Rhule doesn't care if he wins. Another easy paycheck for a coach. Who gets a ton of money regardless of he is fired or not.

I used to listen to his press conferences.

Game was vomit inducing. No nice way to say it. Maybe I'm just drunk and being even more negative than usual but there's a real possibility we finish 5-7 if we couldn't get it done today. Between this game and spending the afternoon with a bunch of extremely depressed Penn State fans I'm ready to take up alcoholism as a new career path

I think it has moved past a possibility, is neck and neck with probable and gaining on a certainty…

No confidence in this coach or staff. The mistakes at this level are ridiculous.

Can someone explain to me why this coaching staff thought their best option was to trot DR back out after he had just left the field. Maybe this inept coaching staff had no clue, but DR's back knew better. He was hurt! Everything about the team since halftime of the Colorado game has been based on low percentage plays and haphazard play calling. The offense has no snap. Lack of an efficient plan. It is like they play hoping for a miracle. Not scoring when they were on the 6- or 7-yard line. Not Good!!! Good teams don't do that. It is just a sh^t show. Place kicker missing that last PAT so even if the Huskers managed to score a TD in the waning moments the best they could do is end up in OT. I wrote before this game if the Huskers lose this game, they will not win another game this season. Who thinks the Huskers will come even close to winning any of their last three games: USC, Wisconsin and Iowa?

I said in another thread that it doesn’t even hurt anymore. Not even for a moment. Took 8 1/2 years of sh!t but I’m there now

We want to beat the shit out of the teams we play. You seem to have that figured out.

Many officiating calls went our way for once. A couple calls were even questionable. The Refs were in our favor and we still lost. Damn it!

The un-sportsman like calls is what prevented a blowout.

How much to get him here?

No clue. I can imagine Florida and FSU will try to get him this offseason. Michigan might even make a play, no matter how bad the optics will be.
