This piece does a pretty good job of detailing how Nebraska fell from being at the top of the college football world to being the middling, lost program that it is now.
Things I did not realize:
1.) Perlman was at least as much of a problem as that idiot Steve Pedersen. Nebraska fired two 9-3 coaches under his tenure. Looking back on it now, even someone like me who is usually pretty optimistic about the decisions being made regarding the program has to go "WTF..."
2.) The above is why very few really good coaches want anything to do with our program. We're already radioactive. This may hopefully change with Moos being in place, but it makes you wonder who we could get to replace Riley now.
3.) Was the Texas A&M game fixed? Did we get flagged for excessive penalties beyond what we should have in that game just because the Big 12 was pissed about us leaving?
4.) All bad things CAN be undone. We just have to make a great hire. We have the money, the tradition, and the ability to win big in a weak division. We just have to find someone willing to come here and really start over, accomplish a lot with very little right now, and light a fire under the asses of the players.
Thoughts and opinions are appreciated, thanks all, GBR!
