This is what you get when Huskers fans are drinking way too much Husker Kool-Aid, they won't win 10 games this season, the Huskers will be lucky to win 5 games!!!!!
This is based on reading OWH Husker articles........
If you think we can get at least 10 wins in the regular season...
- Thread starter red rover 70
- Start date
What do I see? I see zero relevance to our situation but let's look at your numbers.
First thing I see is that non power 5 teams do not belong on any list even remotely relevant to us. Usually, they have erratic W/L records year over year and, specifically, they universally have no claim to high quality replacement coaches. Good luck using anything from their records to explain what will happen here.
Secondly, for 2013 you listed 13 power 5 replacement coaches and of those...
3 were +/- 0 wins over the prior year
6 were -14 cumulative wins (14 less wins) than the prior year
4 were +18 cumulative wins (18 more wins) than the prior year.
Seven of the 13 had equal or more wins than the prior year - more than half of the new hires sustained or improved the prior year's win count. And the whole 13 totaled four more wins than the prior coaches had.
2014 more closely matches your point (irrelevant though it is). Here, you've listed seven new power 5 coaches...
1 was +/- 0 wins over the prior year
6 were -14cumulative wins (14 less wins) than the prior year
0 were + any cumulative wins than the prior year.
All in all, 2013 was a plus for new coaches and 2014 was a minus. This tell us nothing as 2013 could just as easily be replicated this year as not. The fact that 2014 could also be repeated is irrelevant as is the whole exercise. The fact that seven of these 20 new hires succeeded in their first year is all it takes to know it can be done.
And also, in each of these cases, local issues ruled the day. Louisville lost Bridgewater, Texas faced a severe cultural change, etc, etc, etc.
Where have you been barney? Your handle is familiar from a poster years ago... same guy???
Yeah it's me.. I've been around but usually post on the national board until the season arrives and then I'm on both.
That is one of the most ridiculous comments I've read on this board in quite a while. You sound like an aggy.
We invest top dollar in our product like a Blue Bloods can. Bad coaching has been our problem not an antiquated program.
Is the cult still going strong or can you finally admit that Riley and his staff sucked?
Also this thread is hilarious in retrospect.
Anyone who predicted 10 wins for any season under Riley knows nothing of football. I didn’t post in this thread but I’m sure I would have been pissed all over if I had for predicting a 6-6 season the first year but that is where I had them pegged.
All you had to do was base it on 20+ years of Riley’s coaching history. I can’t believe some of you thought a 62 year old tiger would change its stripes.

This was also one of my favorite posts from this thread. Someone told me a couple weeks back that I was crazy for remembering the talk before Riley coached a game that it wasn't a full rebuild. Here's one such post (not calling you out Cornicator specifically, this was the consensue pre-BYU that whoever called me out on had selective amnesia).
Not sure your point. Riley didn't have a full rebuild. He fvcked it up on his own.
Sucks. I always kinda liked Cornicator’s posts.
Funny, it’s amazing to watch the ebb and flow of posters whom reflect the opinions of whatever faction supports the current coaching administration. 4 times now.
It’s almost as if Nebraska is trying to beat me into complete and total apathy.
I agree wholeheartedly. Some other posters attacked me a couple weeks ago that it was a massive rebuild and that anyone claiming it wasn't a full rebuild was delusional. It was the consensus that it was not a full rebuild prior to BYU. So again, not calling you out at all.
The only thing funny is how bad our fans are. Digging this thread up is another example. When we are sitting at about 5-5 next year, please dig up this thread again.
What’s wrong with Cornicator’s post? It was dead on accurate.
