Fisher, who played nine years in the NFL, also made it clear what he'll be seeking in prospects now and in the future.

"I don't want to just bring in five-star kids from California," the coach said. "I want to bring in kids that want to compete. He can be a two-star kid from St. Louis. I want to bring in a guy who can compete with guys I already have here. I want to bring in a guy who's better than a guy I already have here."
"I'm going to get this kid and sit him right next to Lamar Jackson," Fisher said of the four-star cornerback from Elk Grove, California, the most coveted prospect in Nebraska's class of 2016. "I'm going to say, 'Hey, your job is to take Lamar's spot,' right in front of Lamar."

The crowd chuckled. But Fisher was serious.

"Then I'm going to tell Lamar, 'Hey, bro, it's your job to wake up. It's your job to not give it (the starting job) up,'" Fisher said. "That's how I was raised. And that's the way it's going to be in the (secondary meeting) room. Because, at the end of the day, what did I really do? What I did was make my whole room more competitive — every day. That way, we can have the type of secondary Nebraska's used to having every year — instead of just bringing in one five-star kid and making everyone happy."
Fisher prides himself on being able to push players' buttons to maximize their performance.



"I went and pushed the biggest button in the room. Lamar Jackson, I pushed his button," Fisher said with a smile. "I said, 'No, you're not going to the NFL.' I don't know if your last coaching staff told you that, but, 'No, you're not good enough.' There were some guys that looked up like, 'Woo.' But that's what I had to do to get guys to understand that you have a lot more inside of you. It's just hidden. You don't want to bring it out because you're so used to even-keel. And there's no such thing as even-keel in football."

Chinander's message: We're trying to find guys to take your spot.

"The real guys — and I don't know how many real guys we've got — they'll teach that (new) kid to take their spot knowing he can't ever do it," Chinander said. "We'll see how many real guys we've got. Eventually, we'll start getting them, and they're going to teach these young kids, 'Hey, bro, here's what you've got to do to take my spot, but let me give you a little head's-up, it ain't ever going to happen.'

"When you get guys like that, that's when it really starts to happen."

Good. Hopefully that is what LJAx and the others need.

Wow.

Not afraid one ounce to rock the boat:

"I don't want to bring in an entitled five-star player, or four-star player. I've already got that guy"

I think we can deduce who that someone is. Rhymes with Lackson

 

[TheBeav815]

Yeah he's not pulling any punches, that article raised my eyebrows, too. There are ZERO things that suggest they'd be 100% happy to start the same guys who are returning and have them play like they did last year.

Not only are they courting the CB grad transfer from Notre Dame, they signed a JUCO CB who is eligible this fall and they're interested in the CB grad transfer from Bowling Green.

Bowling effing Green.

I don't think anybody in that corner backs room is going to be feeling like they can coast.

Notre Damn CB signed with Houston

Would have been nice...

Big message - there will be competition for the CB spots and the winner will have to earn his place. And the coaches are not going to wait for a couple of recruiting cycles to get corners that want to compete and win.

 

[TheBeav815]

It's also sending a message to their incoming freshman and to recruits that 1) They can come to NU and compete right away and 2) They'd better show up ready to battle

So does this mean there will be no more ice cream socials?

I'd like to sprinkle my cr-- nah, I won't go there.

Coach Fisher certainly not pulling any punches heading into the summer. This is about as pointed as a call-out will get. Makes for some good reading, but we'll see if it pays dividends. Funny enough, Lamar Jackson is probably a big reason why Coach Fisher is now here.

I absolutely love this and I’m taking it to my business. Next person I hire is going to be told exactly this. I’m looking for their replacement, and their job is to work hard and produce at a level that makes them irreplaceable to the point that no one can take their job.

I'd quit if my boss told me that.

Hip hip

This attitude is exactly why I’m going to start saying it. Much easier, and cheaper, to weed out the people who don’t want to compete. My business requires sales, and in sales you have to grind and compete every day. If you don’t produce, you don’t have a job, it’s that simple. May as well be honest and tell people that fact up front.

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Anyone in sales that doesn’t want to grind will weed themselves out.

Was a Navy recruiter, sent through the Professional Selling Skills course in Pensacola. This is true in recruiting as well. You can get wildly promoted or it can ruin your career.

 

[mkbrkloster]

Unfortunately, this quote, taken in context with the activity in transfers at the position, says to me that this is yet another coaching staff that hasn't been able to raise Jackson's play to the level it needs to be. This is a warning that time is running out before we cut the cord on that project.

 

[z28craz]

Yep. When I first got into hiring my own sales people I had a manager tell me when you hire a sales person treat it no different than an NFL GM would a first round draft pick. And never be afraid to replace a first round pick with a better first round pick. That’s the essence of what Frost and company are doing, and it translates well to the professional business world.

I don't necessarily think the comments are about what Lamar has accomplished since they took over. He called Lamar the big button in the room. My opinion is they are just being consistent with their treatment. All players will be judged on the same criteria. The activities in transfers is due to the fact that we don't have enough CBs in the room, or CBs good enough to push the big buttons in the room.

Sounds like a perfect occupation for Darin Erstad.

Competition and motivation is great but
we are not going to win Big championships with a full roster of 2 and 3 stars. We need some very hungry 4 stars, some 3 stars and a sprinkle of 5 stars.
