Think about this - Beck goes to TOSU and takes over the play calling duties after the first couple of games I believe - before the end of the season this has now been changed "Because he was not doing a good job"

At NU we would argue over it for years and nothing would change

This administration and multiple AD's now along with previous coaches and the current coach are also infected with this disease " Even when there is an obvious problem nothing is done to fix it"

  • Solich - would not change his play calling, then when he was forced to he hires Barney to be the play caller - good god!!
  • Callahan - refused to replace Cosgrove - If I was on that staff and lost my job because the HC would not fire his buddy who obviously was not good at his job - I would have been pissed.
  • TO refuses to fire Pelini even though it was obvious he crossed the line to insanity
  • SE fires Pelini and then proceeds to not interview anyone for the job except a 62 yr old .500% coach who at one time other schools wanted - SE should have been fired for incompetence as soon as he made that decision
  • BUT no the puppet master Perlman - who interviews Riley also but quickly makes sure a disclaimer is printed in the media "Its the AD's call I just wanted to make sure he was a nice guy"
  • Now we have Riley - who has obvious play calling issues with Langsdorf but unlike OSU our issue will not be fixed - we also have DC who is not very good
  • In fact why are we letting some guy come in and call the shots with his own assistants anyway - Even Oregon State was taking steps to mix things up. Think about that Oregon State one of the door mats of CFB was unwilling to let the same decisions that NU allows happen

Perlman cant hit the door fast enough imo - Eichorst better hope he has Alverez's job by then - and BTW as long as I am ranting at what point did we make the WI atletic director an official advisor to Perlman and by extension Eichorst - this guy is making decisions for NU from Madison

I've questioned university leadership here for quite some time. As long as there are butts in seats, I don't think they care all that much.
 
Agreed. It's the classic midwestern mentality. Stay the course and slow to change is the Nebraska mentality. It can be great at times as TO was almost run out of here but cooler heads prevailed. The flip side, however, can be disastrous as Bobo had one too many seasons. I'm crossing my fingers that Mike Riley can get the job done but ultimately I haven't been impressed. We have to have top 15 recruiting classes if we want to compete for national championships and we're nowhere near that. If he doesn't get at least 8 wins next year I expect his seat to be on fire.

4.6.3 we know you're Eichorsts college buddy or whatever, but at least provide some substance to your post rather than becoming offended every time his name comes up. Now back to adding substance...

The larger question I see here is how loyal should a coach be to his assistants? At what point can both a head coach and an asst agree it's not working out and go their separate ways?
 
Guess it all looks so easy from the outside. As with all things, you have simplified to the level that makes your point. In all things, especially multi-milliion dollar organizations such as colleges, things are not as simple as you make them out to be and that seem to lead to the same conclusion you already have.

What evidence do you provide that suggests an assistant coach should be let go?

Langsdorf had Nebraska's offense producing at a very high level, I believe second in the conference in PPG. Banker started out rough but hard to argue with the production in the last two games.

To me, it appears Nebraska is a few players away from putting a solid product on the field.

No. I have said this before, and you continue to choose to be dense. You defended Blo right until the end. The whole idea that an AD from another school is controlling the NU athletic department is laughably stupid. Do you see black helicopters everywhere when you look outside? Your hero Blo was focused on nothing more than looking for them the last 2 years he was here. He admitted as much when he spoke his pathetic message to his players on the way out. When he wasn't busy trashing their future alma-mater.
But yes, let's just forget that they were programmed to make things toxic for anyone but poor old victim Blo.

Think what you want ( I am not sure the think part is technically correct) I was in favor of letting Pelini go

I said Alvarez is advising NU and he is - where do you think Perlman went to get recommendations for an AD - what call do you think Eichorst made when he was going to offer Riley - So influencing NU's decision is maybe more accurate but he has advised NU on its two biggest hires what do you call that? It is not a conspiracy theory it is fact

You guys are willing to blame our current record on anything other than Riley and company when it was very obvious that coaching directly led to this losing season

You must be an attorney - I guess you are talking about politics because much of this stuff would not be allowed to continue if this was in fact a multi-million dollar business

The defenses major problem in my mind and this was evident through out the season and in the Iowa game was: When we needed stops the most they did not perform - how many games did we lose because we gave up game winning drives - In the Iowa game despite controlling the LOS we then proceeded to give two long scoring runs - Our defense did not step up when we needed them the most. Now they did progress from a complete disaster at the beginning of the year and overall did a better job of stopping the run

Did you see Canzeri go for 100 yards on back to back TD runs? That is the type of fix that will get you an extension at NU.

I wouldn't say the D is fixed. Several issues with the QB and total team D.
 
Just re: the defense - We need more quickness at MLB. Banderas is not fast enough to meet the RB at the edge when the offense runs outside and that is a huge Achilles heel. If it were me, based on Banderas' frame, I'd look at moving him to DE and try to find someone else smaller and quicker to man the middle.

In the four quarter against Iowa the defense had multiple stops giving our offense a chance to win the game. That is a huge difference from what happened against Illinois, Wisconsin and Northwestern.

That was two plays with Gerry out.
 
That's why Gerry's ejection was so huge. If Gerry is in the game checks are made and players are lined up correctly to stop those two plays. Adjustments are make and it's a dogfight again. Even with the ejection, Gerry's recovery reversed and the interceptions we still are in a position to win the game late. The fourth and 1 play was a huge mistake and we still had a chance at the end against #4.
 
Most of the big runs came because of our LB play has been up and down all year. Injuries and way too much hesitation from Bando and the young backers left huge running lanes. I think Rose is more suited to play Mike and Bando at Sam.. The younger guys will get better with experience.
 
I can't predict if Gerry stops Canzeri on each play. There have been several plays this year where Gerry doesn't stop long runs. He plays hard and trys his best. I like his effort.


The Biggest issue. QB play. NU's D only gave up 28 to the no 4 team in the country. Actually they gave up 21.
TA had a TD pass to Iowa. He put the D in bad spots throughout the game. 4 pics.

The real issue is QB. This is a 2 loss team with better QB play and better mechanics and decisions from the QB position.

Eichorst did have contact with Alvarez about hiring Mike Riley.

What does this have to do with some people bringing up Peelini and supporting him?

The linebackers flow to fill the hole. But the safeties weren't there to cut him off at the sideline.
 
TA had 7 ints in the last 2 games.

Not a mathematician but let's multiply that out over a 12 game season.

That is 42 ints. Ouch.......

That is the real problem. We don't have anyone better though. That is on Bo.

Next year starts the POB era.

I am half Irish and I am banking on this.

The defense held Iowa to less than 250 total yards and stopped them every drive in the 4th Quarter. They were good and have improved. You can't expect them to pitch a shutout every game. There effort was plenty good enough to win. TA just didn't give us a chance with his TO's.

On the first run Cockrell ran himself totally out of the play. On the second play they ran to the weak side and Williams took a horrible angle and took himself out of the play.

Watch Texas. They already demoted watts. There will be coaching changes at Texas as well as there should be at Nebraska.
 
Do you know how to read today's AP and Coaches poll and last week's final four poll?

It has Iowa as no. 4.

Actually the Coaches has Iowa as no 3.

Feel free to search the internets...you should be able to find it.
