Let’s not forget…

Dudes gone. Live in the now. The guys in the headsets failed today. We were in a position to control the game and get a W. Failed. Let’s play hard 3 more times and get a real staff in here.
Exactly. Minnesota was 0-32 if ever trailing by 10 I think I I herd them say. Our offense absolutely was shit. Play calling was mindless
 
This concoction consisting of players, coaches, and S&C is the masterpiece created by 4+ years of Scott Frost. No matter who the chef is, it’s difficult for them to make much more than a shit sandwich out of these ingredients.
The problem with that argument is that they've proven they can play at times, but just can't sustain it for a whole game. Take today as an example, they started strong so the players were quite capable of matching up with Minnesota. Defense was even on fire at the start. BUT as the game went on and adjustments are needed by the coaching staff, things fizzled out in a spectacular fashion. Minnesota coaches simply outsmarted them. Keeping Purdy on the field too long was just one example. The coaches needed to pull him much earlier. That's coaching IMO. And MJ needed to drive it.

This nails it. Mickey and staff did not adjust on offense. And that has been a hallmark of this team under Frost and Joseph. We are successful early and then the other team adjusts. And we too adjust, but in the wrong way. We went to a vertical passing game to try and get the safeties to back off of the line but we kept Purdy in and he cannot pass downfield worth a shit. We should have adjusted differently by playing heavy run sets.

Whipple coaches as if he still has Pickett at quarterback.

Both Mickey’s wins came via second half surges
 
On big plays. Not with consistent offense. Take away bombs to Oliver Martin and Palmer and we lose both those games. I was at the Rutgers game. Our offense sucked. Thank God Indiana and Rutgers suck even worse than we do.
Oh okay

take away the good plays and the rest are bad

fair enough
 
why is it when I watch the geogia game, the camera cuts away to hawt chicks in the stands.
but when they cut away to the stands during a NU game, they show fans who look like they been dressed by a jr. high drama class on how a midwestern football fan should look????

whats the deal here?

Unfortunately, none of the previous or current coaches on the side line this year have the IQ to make adjustments. They have plan A and that's it. Everybody shrug your shoulders. GTFOH.

Today's loss is on Mickey. Stop trying to spin it. They guy who let Purdy play for 3 quarters has to take the blame, period.

Just stop it. You are just trolling now. Anyone who knows football knows that against better defenses you cannot rely on big plays alone. You need consistency on offense and an ability to sustain drives and move the chains when it matters. Against shit teams like Rutgers and Indiana we were fortunate to hit a few big plays. Indiana was clearly our best game. But we were damn lucky to beat Rutgers. Our offense sputtered all night and we only scored 14 points against a crap team.

Spot on!

Even Saban couldn’t make anything other than a $hit sandwich if he was handed this mess!
 
Anyone who thinks Saban or any other good coach wouldn't at least make a bowl game in the Pathetic Big Ten West division is delusional.
Apparently I’m not making myself clear in my last post. Mickey was handed a dump and asked to fix it. You can’t fix a 4 year mess in 4 weeks! Not even Saban could in 4 weeks!

Yep. Last week we got beat by Illinois' best player.

This week we got beat by Minnesota's best player.

Why? Because good coaches know where their bread is buttered.

Meanwhile, our best player had 1 yard against Illinois and 37 yards against Minnesota and was a total non-factor in both games.

Bielema and Fleck managed to take our #1 threat and make him a total non factor, while, at the same time, putting us away with their top dogs.

That's coaching. And we continue to get out coached.

Really just Whipple and Mickey failed. Everybody who was watching that game could see Chubba backing up into sacks. Everybody could see he was completely lost out there. He needed to sit after the 4th drive at the very latest. Once again the D’s effort should have been enough. That’s 2 weeks in a row Whipple and Chubba cost us Ws. I think Whip is trying to get fired at this point

He should not have been out there at all.

Smothers throws at least as well as he does and brings a legitimate threat to the running game.

The only explanation I can come up with as to why Purdy was out there at all was because he's Whip's boy. And the other healthy QB's are not.

Which does not reflect well on this staff.

Exactly. All of Husker nation watching that game was screaming for Purdy to get permanently benched. Is Purdy really that much better than Smothers in practice? I cannot believe that after watching the wounded duck passes Purdy was tossing around. No way he is that much of a better passer than Smothers. Furthermore, Smothers has game starting experience from last year and does not "play nervous". If MJ does not get hired (and I doubt he will) then he has nobody to blame but himself.

Mickey has been coach for 8 weeks now....but again, nobody expected him to fix the program this year. We're saying he has shown nothing in his career to make him the most qualified person to take over and rebuild this program.
 
True, but they can still be doing the things necessary to win....such as playing the correct QB. Failure to do so is a failure in coaching, and during this tryout you need to show W's not L's.

Nebraska football needs a complete overhaul. This shit has been consistently horrible for 20 yrs now sans a few big “lucky” wins. Blow it all up and rebuild it from scratch.

The fan and financial support is there which is a big part of the puzzle.

Lol he wasn't asked to fix it. He was asked to be a placeholder until the season ends. Nobody is saying this season is all on Mickey, but we are saying it is ridiculous to give him the full time job over actual qualified coaches. Trev knows this. It will be the job of the hired coach to fix it
 
You being a National Recruiting Analyst is complete nonsense. You don’t know your a$$hole from your mouth. Get lost loser!
You've gotta be one of the dumbest posters I've ever read in my life. It amazes me the stupidity behind your ideas. You completely miss the characteristic called rationale in your life, and there's very little hope at your age you'll obtain it.
 
This week is probably a good time for trev to announce his new coach so portal/recruiting is solid and
peace, unity and hope is brought to the fans amist this dumpster fire.

Look here son,

Tweaking everyday on meth, being toothless, being unemployed, and masquerading online as a Recruiting Analyst from your momma’s basement is no way to go through life!

But you seem to think that is a good idea. I can’t fix your stupidity!
