Deion had the right idea

[HuskerAlum92]

Only because of the crappy conference they play in and his kid as QB. Deion wouldn’t have lasted at NU. Hell they anted him gone in Boulder last year. They’ll get embarrassed in the playoff.

Not going to argue crappy conference. But at the moment, with the current CFP setup, it’s arguably better to be in a crappy B12 with an auto bid.

You are wrong about wanting Deion gone from Boulder last year. He was bringing money, exposure, donations and applications. And he still had Shedeur and Hunter for this year. And now he is winning too and getting the best publicity.

And it won’t matter in any way if they get embarrassed in the CFP. But they might hang in there because they believe in themselves. And Shedeur and Hunter are that good, especially together.

So, you need him to essentially finish in the top 8 in the nation, 2 years after taking over the worst program in college football for you to acknowledge that he's done a good job? Lmfao yeah, that most certainly answers the question

Yes, or he could join a tougher conference and win there which goes back to my original point.

Scoreboard says otherwise.

Nebraska 28 Puffs 10

We were lucky to catch them early. They'd beat us by 3 TD's now. But they are definitely in a weaker conference.

They are they same team they were last year and when we played them early. USC and Ohio State don’t beat us by 3 TD’s, but sure CU would. Come on.

The key is the coordinators. UCLA has freaking Eric Bienemy running the Chiefs offense.

Why didnt Matt Rhule hire him?

 

[Big bo fan]

Strength of schedule can be a skewed stat. Nebraska is being propped up by two Top 5 teams that we lost to. We are not a better team simply because we lost to two great teams. We would have lost to average teams as well.

You Deion lovers killgo out to Boulder and sk him off .

Why didnt Matt Rhule hire him?

Bienemy was never in play as an OC the first time and i doubt he would have come to NU even IF Rhule thought he had to replace Satt after last season. Bienemy is an interesting guy who I don’t think would have worked at NU. I’ve heard he’s not a very good guy to work with.

No

I don’t know if EB would have been the answer, but Rhule clearly did not hire the right OC and it has costs him big time.

The Big 12 like any other conference doesn’t get an Automatic bid in the playoffs .

What did this mean?

Yeah but rankings determine spots and if they are ranked as if they play in a power conference...

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

The actual scoreboard.

Series Tied 1-1

Colorado has outscored Nebraska 46-42

Rhule 2023: 5-7
Rhule 2024: 5-5

Deion 2023: 4-8
Deion 2024: 8-2

Rhule has Nebraska competing for 6 wins and to get a 3rd season.

Deion has Colorado competing for a Conference Championship and CFP appearance.

I think you need to see what Deion does after this season if he sticks around. If he gets a 5 star qb it most likely will continue, if not it could quickly fall back to the mean.

His whole experiment is going to change football one way or another. Same with Cig at Indiana.

It is possible under the right circumstances that a p4 conference champion misses the playoffs.

Cig is legitimate, Deion has more to prove as a coach before I sing his praise.

I agree but that's less likely given the rankings was my point.

Absolutel agree
It was my bad . Some people still think the p4 conference . get an automatic bid .

It's rumored that 5* QB Julian Lewis is flipping to Colorado after decommitted from USC this afternoon.

 

[DPDWU]

He would jump to Florida St. or Florida in a heartbeat. But those jobs probably won't open up. Where else would he want to go?

Dallas Cowboys
