QB McCord of OSU to Nebraska?
- Thread starter cavalot
- Start date
I never questioned if we WERE a blueblood. I said we weren't anymore and then willfully acknowledged based on a little research.. that I guess we are still kind of one....yes I believe that we will not remain a "blueblood."
I love the Huskers but believe that we will never be what we were. I think we will have a season here or there that we may get to 9 or 10 wins. But not with any consistency. The old Nebraska program was unique and we recruited to that uniqueness. Those days are gone and we are recruiting against everyone for the same type of talent for the same type of schemes. Especially offensively. We simply can't measure up. The proof is in the pudding. 7 years of losing seasons is enough to see even that.
How long will it take a certain someone to start trashing McCord?
Spring? Fall Camp? First INT?
But seriously if you are HH, and you see this is the type of guy they are going after, don't you look at it and think either position change or portal are my only realistic options?

Mid 3* win championships man. Believe in the 24 year drought I mean process. Recruiting and location location location has t changed 😜
That is literally exactly what I just posted.
I can't keep up with you. I guess enjoy being a diehard Nebraska fan that doesn't believe we can win anything ever again.
Damn man. Enough with the gloom, despair and agony. We were 3 turnovers away from 8 wins this year. Fix QB and we’ll be fine.
Yep. With the offensive frustration this season, it's encouraging that the staff is looking to address the most glaring deficiencies. Hopefully we land the portal talent we're rumored to be in on.

Ive thought this for years. It was a great run I'm glad I was college age for the 90s run. I'd would be very surprised if we ever play for a conference championship again
I think this qb is a ball distributor, not Randall Cunningham. Well need apt personnel for him to distribute to.
It would be interesting to see how we respond to not having the option of just running our qb. It's been our default mode for too long.
Anyone know, does he do progressions?

I've experienced being a fan through 3 title runs. I'm more than good. Most fan bases don't have that luxury
Yeah and it's quite selfish too. And the older generations wonder why younger generations don't give a shit about Husker football.
Not the poster, but to answer the question… the conference now has the top 4 teams from the PAC and now no weak West division.
I don’t feel like we have elite coaching, certainly on offense. So for now, I guess I am in that camp also.
But, I am 51 so I lived the glory years from when I was a kid until that blowout loss to Miami in 2001. It was a great run with a legendary coach.
I saw us win three titles, lose the title game three times, to Miami twice and FSU once.
I can’t complain. If we ever become good again I’ll be ecstatic but as much as I like Rhule I don’t think he’s an elite coach.
I lived the glory years I saw all the highest points of Husker football. But the doom and gloom is just crazy. Over the history of cfb that I have witnessed. All teams have a fall from grace. We're not talking natties here. We're talking about competing for the conference.
I've got believe that if McCord is coming, we are also going to be naming a new QB coach in the next few weeks.
I don't think there is any chance he comes without that as a guarantee. He wants to play on Sundays.

It’s just reality. Hey, we are all hoping for Epic seasons. I don’t know if it will happen. Look at A&M for example. Tons of money, tons of top 5 classes the last decade and what has it gotten them? A couple memorable Manziel years and no titles of any kind. We don’t even recruit close to that level, and now we are to be certain we’ll be elite again someday? I’ll hope, but won’t count on it.
I feel more for the young guys who can’t remember or weren’t alive for the 90s run we had
Exactly. What would Marvin Harrison Jr. look like with our QB room? Not good. That's what. Not saying we have a MHJ on the roster, but I can't wait to see Coleman, Lloyd, Fidone, etc. with a guy like McCord.
Did this kid really say he doesn’t want to play osu at his new school?
I’d rather have a kid with an axe to grind, but that’s probably just me

I really doubt it. If he did, why would he even entertain an offer and visit our coaches when we play OSU next year?
I hope that isn’t the case.
I want a kid that says, “You havent heard the last of me Ryan Day, you may think I stink now but I’m gonna catch on somewhere else and every time I play against you I am gonna stick it up your f*@kin ass!”
Did you actually read what I wrote? Good grief. Yes, for the second time, they will get better but they struggled significantly this year.
I’m not a fan of players being allowed to transfer to a school who faces the former team on the next year’s schedule.
But since it’s allowed, bring on McCord.

Don't think he said it, but we need to win games more than care about "axes to grind."
of losing every year. With McCord we win several more games if the defense is as good. We can worry about all the other stuff when we are back winning 9 games a year
Ok. So, I didn't read up entirely what's going on here. But, damn guys! Go use that energy to fight with Iowa!
I think we can all rally and cross swords that Iowa sucks ass!

This isnt the Big 8 or even 12 anymore, but 18 teams. I would love just 1 special season again but its almost like ptsd with this club. I just expect bad things to happen and the generally do.
We neee much better in-game management from our head coach, as wellDon't think he said it, but we need to win games more than care about "axes to grind."
Not to mention more consistent special teams play
We’re much closer to frosts Huskers than we are to winning 9+
Only the willfully ignorant think otherwise
You basically said only Coleman has any real potential. I pointed out Lloyd has a ton of potential. I would venture to say Lloyd is the fastest player in the conference and his hands didn't seem to suck.
My god, you are insufferable.
Yeah I’m a little skeptical of that quote. Sounds more like sour grapes “leaked” from someone connected to OSU. Who would say that?
I honestly feel like it's a fine line. In this era you have the 6-10 teams that you know will pretty much be good every year. The next 50 teams are all a good or bad QB away from 9-3 or 3-9. Maybe that's an exaggeration but there's so much more parity than there was in the 80's, 90's or 00's. And yeah, a good or bad coach is the same hinge point. You simply can't deny that Rhule had some really bad moments this year. I don't think it would be unfair to say his end of game calls cost us 1-2 wins.

You’re happy with Rhule’s time management?
The 60 yard fake fg?
The end of maryland and wisc and Iowa games?
It’s fine if you are. I understand how hard it is for sunshine pumpers to hear/see what they don’t want to.
I expect to be silenced and shot down by the usual suspects just like during the frost era & with our complete joke loser of a basketball coach (and our highly suspect AD)
Such a clown post, as usual. Call that plays that work, play the winners
This team is was devoid of talent and supposed to be bad. The defense lost the best players off a bad defense. The OL was thought to be the worst in school history before the season and an already undermanned offense lost a ton of starters. We played with three freshman and a sophomore walk-on at WR. A TE at QB. Another freshman, who started the year 4th string at RB.
I think Rhuke and his staff coached their asses off to make this team as competitive as they were. But sure we lost because of being too aggressive in one game, or not aggressive enough in another. Or because of considering, but not actually calling a fake FG in another. That’s very reasonable stance.
