I get what you’re saying and I definitely don’t want our team to be what Iowa is over the last 25 years. The fact remains we are not even at Iowa’s level.

We flat out suck on game day. It isn’t because we aren’t talented or have the resources…we do! Each year we have everything to at least be a 7-5 team or better except this program is lazy, is never prepared, has no urgency to win, the culture sucks! It has sucked really since the end of the Pelini era. Nebraska Football will suck until new blood changes the culture. I think it has to start with replacing players that are underperforming/constantly screwing up and getting rid of some assistants.

Hard to argue with any of that.

Solid post.

As long as the players don't have to learn another guy's verbage the last 3 games of the season - give him a shot.

Not sure I give a shit about the eternal 7-5 or 8-4 Kirk Ferentz football team.

They accept complete mediocrity and occasional Top 25 appearances.

We suck. But being Iowa suck is a whole other level of suck and cope.

Dude is in his 25th season as head coach, is 201-122 and has never won an outright B10 Championship and never even finished in the Top 10 of the polls at the end of any season.

There is suck, and then there is accepting 25 years of mediocre results at best and bragging about it suck.

Agree our OC sucks, I’m more concerned with how DR doesn’t fire the football to wideouts, he always lofts the ball with touch throws that are under thrown a lot.

No doubt Dylan has things to work on. He's struggling mightily right now. But we've already seen the talent that he has.

We have to have a running game- that's step one. Figure out a way to gain three yards a carry and get to 3rd & 4. Then we have options. I know that's not saying much but it would be an improvement from what we are seeing. Don't even think about lining up in shotgun with 10 or 11 personnel at this point. Teams are blitzing us on seemingly every play when we go to that. That one long pass we had was off play action from under center and Dylan had all day to throw.

Want to protect your freshman QB from a killer pass rush? Run the f'n ball from under center. Then run a little play action. Minimum, they need to take play calling away from Satt for the rest of the season.

Is it better to have an identity, know who you are and accept mediocrity, have a winning record, and go to bowls every year or be like us and not accept it, yet still be worse than Iowa?

Pretty sure we at least want to be better.

We were at the Peak of all Mountains at one time. The very best of the best. Obviously we all yearn for that once again. I'd rather go 4-8 and try, as opposed to sit back and accept mediocrity.

This season is lost because the upperclassmen haven’t been able to do $hit.

If we’re going to lose anyways, put in the younger players instead and get them some in game experience. Put the under-performers on the bench!

A lot of truth here they seem to have a losing mentality..But man is Satterfield is worst thing hurting this team with his questionable play calling.

8-4 doesn't suck. Being the only team in Power 5 that cannot quality for one of the 43 bowl games for 10 years straight? That sucks.

Somewhat true.

Bowl games are a blast no matter how good, awful, or great your team is.

We stunk, but the 2005 Alamo Bowl against Michigan was amazing fun because neither fan base gave a shit and just looking to have a good time.

Lets be honest.

The only thing hurt yesterday was DRs pride and competitiveness.

He flat wanted out of the game. He quit.

None of you realize it takes at least 3 years to build a program and see progress!

What else have we heard...culture change...right play makers....buy-in...more NIL donations.... blah blah blah....

I've had to really think about whether or not I was renewing my season tickets for the past 3 years. As this season has regressed into absolute crap coaching/play...this may be my last year. Way to expensive to see this crap with no improvement.

Click to expand...

Honestly couldn’t blame you for not wanting to renew season tickets. Why pay, have to drive down there, only to be let down? I’m pissed off watching this crap without leaving the house! What a waste of 3 hrs of my life…of all Husker Foitball Fans lives!

Woke up to see Iowa beat Wisconsin 42-10. Iowa changes offensive coordinators and has scored 38 points or more in five games. Meanwhile we have only scored over 38 points once. Iowa also rushed for 329 yards against Wisconsin.

And predictably, several of the experts on this board mocked Iowa for hiring Tim Lester. His name didn't show up as a hot OC hire in their Google searches.

Can’t be any worse.

Yes he’s been an OC before. Whether or not he’ll be named interim OC I doubt it.

Rhule definitely owns this as he hired Satt. But here is the question…does Satt know how to do anything else? So far, I’d venture no. I just think Satt is a one trick pony. How do you fix that other than fire him? And that’s the rub and where it lands on Rhule.

Click to expand...

This is why I don’t understand the Satterfield hate as Rhule is the one who hired him. He’s the one that continues to enable repeated incompetence.
