GREAT article on Corn Nation titled: Nebraska's Football Song hasn't changed

Easy to write that article. However, I read it as justifying staying with people who are taking some major steps backward. That's just dumb.
Where do we see coaches going backward after three years turn it around after that? Some great coaches had rocky first years. That's understandable. There might be an example or two of great coaches having two years of poor play and turning it around.
However, IF this turns into three years without progression (along with lack of production at OSU during the end of his tenure there), I'm pretty sure a turn around won't be coming.

For Nebraska to get back to being a 10 win type program, it will take a great coach who hires like assistants, it's that simple. Nebraska had its two great coaches in Devaney and Osborne, it's hard to tell when the next one shows up. Like throwing darts at a board, you hope to get a bullseye.
I remember when Colorado hired McCartney. Like him or not, he was good at three things: hiring good assistants, recruiting, motivating. He wasn't an X&O type of guy, he delegated to his assistants, expected a lot from his players, and motivated them. Nebraska's next coach better be PROVEN in those capacities.

And like it or not, maybe the best route is to keep replacing assistants until we get the guys that get it done.
