No one is stuck in 1995. 3/5 head coaches we have had have done it a different way and have failed. Osborne was here for 25 years. That's a long time to figure stuff out. Frost been here for 3. Tom is "just the GOAT" so obviously that's just how it was and he didn't have to figure things out as he went and knew it all from the get go, of course. Sure.
If you're a good enough coach and have the respect of your players, no there isn't. Speaking strictly in terms of being a strength coach and doing speed, agility, and quickness drills on the turf that are very similar to football drills, no there isn't much difference. I've had to do that with 20-30 athletes before depending on the time of year and you really just have to be organized and communicate well and atleast act like you know what you're doing. Admittedly I wasn't always the best communicator. I can do the drills and lifts and whatever all day long but for some reason I'm not the best at teaching someone else how to do certain things in that department. But I had done it enough times that I atleast acted like I knew what I was doing if I didn't.
30 guys is one defense unit, one offense unit and specialists. Have you noticed how many walk on punters and kickers we have listed? It really is not a big deal. Do you remember last year auditioning kickers on campus? You do recall not too long ago not having enough QBs and WRs on the roster to effectively run practices right due to injuries? Hell we couldn't even hardly scrimmage at one point due to all of the WRs we had banged up. Frankly I'm a little disappointed with all of the injuries that we've had at RB that we haven't seen a walk on show up there. We've got some guys who walked on at RB who are every bit as talented as some of the guys like the Mackovicas, Pillens and Leigl back in the day.
I don’t care what the topic is.... I NEVER tire of this video😂then maybe this particular set of coaches isn't equipped to effectively handle those numbers
maybe it's not the players that are slow blinkers -- maybe its the coaches
if I were a scholarship recruit I would be concerned about my development opportunities and reps being limited
One thing I'll add. In the NFL, they carry a practice squad. Then IF they get guys hurt or somebody is just not getting it done, they can go out and sign FAs off of other team's practice squads or veterans not on teams. I watched a kicker kick the other day who was sitting at home and was signed Friday. The Vikings signed Saturday and played Sunday a long snapper who had been out of football for 2 years. You can't do that in college.
It's not Frost's way it's Osborne's way? If Frost never transfers here then I'd actually be pretty surprised if he did it anything like Osborne did it.
which coach has a longer tenure at Neb?
Wow. You get all of that from your ICU workplace in Minnesota? Just STFU troll. Nobody believes your lies.
But Nebraska had sixty walk-ons. I don't understand your point about Clemson having 30. Why does Nebraska need 30 more? Tradition? Ego? 85 scholarship players plus 30 walk-ons is enough to field five offense and defensive teams Plus five specialist. So you go six deep, I can understand, but 150 is more than Scott can handle and he is proving it now but the product he puts on the field. Scott wants to run short intense programs. Doesn't provide enough time to do a good job coaching all the walk-ons. Heck TO put lots of time into his walking program. There just aren't any TOs around any more.
7 am and a guy in MINNESOTA who isn't a fan of the Huskers is posting on the Husker's free message board........... You need to get professional help.
Because Nebraska isn't getting top 5 talent at every position every year like Clemson. Every year we find a guy or 2 or 3 who end up being contributors and some of them end up developing in to NFL talent.
there are only so many coaches that are great teachers/instructors
