Yale and Minn were once good. We are now then. And of any blue blood program, which I say we are even tho others disagree - we have the longest time between a basic conf championship.
This argument would be relevant if we were a good football team. We’re not.
We are more talented than every team we played except Michigan. Bad coaching continues to cost this program games and it needs to stop.
Not enough to overcome years of development by the other programs that our guys didn’t get until this last December.
We 100% were, Rhule absolutely sucked as a coach this year.
For that matter you could lump Michigan in that category. No OUTRIGHT national championship since 1948.
Nah, Trev doesn't have to worry. We gave him like an 8 year extension.
Frank Solich: 58-19
I'm glad there are still some stubborn Sims and Haarberg fans out there.
Jeff sims should never be allowed anywhere near a football field again. I thought it was a dumb idea to bring him in to begin with.
Well, if we're so much more talented than everyone else (except Michigan) that bad coaching is to blame, then you have to think that our QBs were better than everyone else's including CU and Maryland. The starting QBs on the field matter the most. The number of SEC transfers riding the bench matters the least.
Who the hell mentioned SEC transfers on the bench? I'd encourage you to actually watch the teams we play they are terrible. Your point about the 2 decent and one good qb we have played could be a good one, but that's only 3 games and we lost 7, so pretty irrelevant. Loser mentality and multiple poor coach staffs have set this program back
How can you honestly say that? More talented how? Want to compare NFL draft picks (top 3) rounds and see who has more? Iowa or Neb? You won’t like your answer. Look at the NFL rosters. Neb used to be known as kicker U. Heck, we aren’t even that. Now do TE and OL for Iowa. I’ll wait.
No, he was a multi year starter and known turnover machine, somehow our coaches managed to not know that.
I'm talking about this season and the teams we've played, not past seasons. Try to keep up.
Right, they might do something dumb like want to try a fake field goal from 60 yards out into the wind and end up wasting a time out.
Well, we all do different things in life for sure. But most of us are decent or good at our job. We don’t dramatically screw up week after week and set our work place on fire.
I agree with that last sentence. I mentioned SEC transfers as an example of the mantra that Husker fanatics usually recite when asserting that we have so much “talent”. For years they’ve mentioned all of these four star guys and hyped transfers that look good on paper. But I look at what I see on the field. We’re not visibly bigger, faster or more athletic than pretty much anyone. What I did see this year is we are playing much harder than years past.
We only had 2 WR with more than 12 catches for the entire season, and 6 TDs for the entire WR room on the season. Luke McCaffrey had 12 catches yesterday and 12 TD receptions for year. Ugh!
Watch the tape. Guys were uncovered frequently, but QBs too slow and dumb to find them, locking in on one guy, etc.
