Kansas is looking good..

[Huskertransplant]

He's looking like Nebraska Martinez tonight. Questionable coaching by Klieman after how well the backup played last game.

Kstate is already bowl eligible. I think I read somewhere that Klieman was trying to not burn the backups redshirt year. To me that makes sense if the guy is the future QB.

You really have no idea what you are talking about, but I'll go ahead and respond.

Find someone familiar with winning? Scott Frost was 13-0 and won a national championship as a college QB.

Ohio State? Ryan Day was a promotion from within. Urban Meyer was born in Ohio and started out at Bowling Green. Luke Fickell was an internal promotion and born in Ohio/played for the Buckeyes. Jim Tressell is also from Ohio and coached at Youngstown St. You have to go back to the mid-80's to find a head football coach Ohio State hired who didn't have Ohio connections.

There are legit reasons that geographical familiarity increases the likelihood of a coach being successful.

It’s funny that you used Scott Frost as an example cuz he was the king of “muh Husker values & tradition & born in the Midwest”

Jim Tressel was hired by Ohio State because he won multiple National Championships in what was then D-1AA. Urban Meyer was hired because he was a National Championship coach sitting at home, not because he was from Ohio.

Why didn’t they hire Pelini instead?

There are a number of coaches I'd be pleased if NU hired and LL is one of them. Good program builder.

I understand your thoughts about HCLL being a good program builder; however is that because he’s a good coach or because he takes advantage of being in less competitive conferences? Example is at KU he has the 114th total defense and NU has the 120th total defense.

Screw that. Play to win. Hold nothing back. The kids want to play.

Yes.

Wait.. I thought it was impossible to win with a back up QB.. Dumb.

Kansas has been pouring on points with a backup QB. He should probably be a starter somewhere.

 

[fivewords]

The Kansas guy is a proven resurrectionist.
We probably don’t like to admit it but Nebraska is rock bottom, not good, teetering on irrelevant. We need a coach, even if it’s transitional (hope not), to get this school winning again and back in good graces.
We are biased. All of us. Most of the nation cares not about our history or tradition. They’ve moved on

The Indiana basketball of college football at this point

Depends who you ask and how you prepare them . Our f****** joke of an offensive coordinator doesn't know the names of his backup quarterbacks. That alone will tell you how much a chance any of them have of playing

I don't know the story there. His offense covers up the sins of his defense. Not a great long-term strategy. Would be curious to know how he intends to improve that unit. I wonder if he is focused more on acquiring talent for the offense. I suppose if I was in a total rebuild, I'd focus on getting points first as a priority.

 

[drubendall]

Saw the score and thought good old drubendall will be coming out of hibernation today on LL. Will ignore that Okie State down to a 3rd string freshman QB’s offense still put up 400+ yards on LL.

Lance is in the right conference. B1G isn’t an offense only conference like the Big 12 is. Maybe Lance will get the Okie State gig when Gundy leaves

All good drubendall. Lance has a beautiful offensive mind. He really does. Just doesn’t fit in to our conference

It really grinds your gears when they win, doesn't it?

Pretty good analogy at this point. Needs to change.

Frost is from Wood River but nothing he did was in anyway associated with winning football in the Big 10.
You are the only person on the planet who has asked that Bo instead of Urban question.

none of what just said made sense or followed your original argument

why do you think Ohio State hired Urban instead of Pelini? Could it be the national championships?
