They've got to be nearing rock bottom

Northwestern game loss was rock bottom 3 weeks ago. Tonight is (un)official turning of page on Scott Frost Era and with new coach comes new optimism.

People keep acting like it's unacceptable for Nebraska to suck and that any coach in America would want to come there.

Well they were a premiere program for about 50 consecutive years. Maybe even more than thathaie said:People keep acting like it's unacceptable for Nebraska to suck and that any coach in America would want to come there.

Before hiring an alum who had a quick G5 stint, they hired Mike Riley coming off a 6-7 win beavlet year.DerekJohnson said:

That job gets zero respect and there's probably a very good reason for that. -
I'm not arguing about reasons for nobody respecting it. I'm answering your comment about how come people feel like it's unacceptable (or hard to fathom) that they're so bad.haie said:

Nebraska is one of my big worries for DeBoer if he turns out to be a great coach. Nebraska is the preferred D1 team of both North and South Dakota. The Big Red glory years are in DeBoers youth wheelhouse. I could see him being confident enough to go home-ish and to try to rebuild it. If I’m Nebraska I try to spend my lucrative B10 money on Klieman, Leipold or DeBoer.

What level of shitty does one have to be totally inept as Scott Frost at a place like Nebraska?
Dude makes Willingham look like Vince Lombardi

Bob Devanny built the program and went back to back in 70 and 71. Osborne coached until around 1998 and won two but was pretty much 10-1 every year. Solich got boat raced by Miami in the 2002 BCS
And then darkness fell on Lincoln
But a lot of folks grew up on Nebraska being there every year. Like our 91 DAWGS -
Used to have all the good big boys in the midwest. Osborne finally made the jump when he got enough athletes out of Texas and Florida to complement getting the best of their area.
Tommie Frazier from Bradenton, Lawrence Phillips from Arkansas, Center from Denton Texas. The 1994 team had 3 starting O-Linemen from the state of Nebraska. Imagine the national champion of college football today having 3 starting linemen from Nebraska.
Talent is more consolidated than ever before and there is little reason for it to consolidate at Nebraska. When it was distributed across more programs, the talent consolidation from the midwest allowed Nebraska to compete at the highest level and complement their strong base with a few dudes from TX/FL. That's not going to happen again for the foreseeable future.
Their current situation is not too different from Oregon's, though Oregon has at least a closer recruiting area to draw from with less competition (California) than Nebraska does. And of course Oregon has found very ways to convince kids to go to Eugene. Nebraska has not done the same.

Scott Frost is a fucking retard. He'd be smart to have his lookalike call plays on game day. Or hire Coach Taylor as OC.
-
Leipold isn’t a sexy hire but he’d have nebraska at 9-3/10-2 most years. He’s going to take Kansas to a bowl this year. Anyone other than him would be a massive mistake.

Good cover of it. OTOH, when you really think about it, most programs can't live on what grows in their backyards. But, yes, they are especially dependent on recruiting areas that are not close. I'd say being on the West coast, or bordering a west coast state, is a much better situation than is Nebraska's. In some respects, Cuog has it easier, other than that they're Cuog.whlinder said:Used to have all the good big boys in the midwest.

Old Nebraska teams could also recruit Cali. Those 90s era teams were loaded but don't forget Osbourne wasn't exactly running a church choir program at that time either. I'm sure they had their own bagmen. -

And the hiring of Mike RIley was the reason Bill Moos "retired" out of the blue a couple of years later.haie said:

So? My point is that they hire like a middle of the road big 12/10 team so obviously no one gives a fuck about "magestic cornfields" and Tom Osbourne and all that.godawgst said:

Educate your ignorant ass, Haie.
5 National Championships: 1970, 1971, 1994, 1995, 1997.
Over 300 straight sellouts . . .

Tom Osborne was 60-3 over his last five seasons.
He retired after winning the 1997 Natty.
College football didn’t begin when you were born in the late 80’s. -

Osborne won 3 Natty’s in the 90’s, last one in 1997 with Scott Frost, a transfer from Stanford, as the QB.
Osborne had an 86% winning percentage during his career. -

Bo Pelini was a great defensive coach. He was an angry Mfer; an embarrassment to the fan base; and could never get the Huskers back to the next level Husker fans were used to. He was 9-3 his last season; was fired; and didn’t coach their Bowl game.
His antics during games and at press conferences reminded me of Mike Stoops when he was HC at Arizona.

Washington and Nebraska have played 10 games heads up.
Nebraska leads the series, 5-4-1, and has the most recent win in the series.
They were 2-2 during the 90’s, with the Huskies winning their two in the early 90’s and the Huskers winning their two in the late 90’s.

Ex-Oregon AD’s (Bill Byrne and Bill Moos) became ADs at Nebraska. Byrne was involved in the hiring of Frank Solich. Moos was the AD that hired Scott Frost. -

Unlike Pup, it looks like @trublue uses Google.

I notice you have nothing to say about Haie’s ignorant comments related to the history of Nebraska football, one of the traditional blue bloods in college football.
He’s not aware Nebraska won 3 Natty’s in the 90’s; a total of 5.
Perhaps, if he had some knowledge, he wouldn’t say such stupid shit.
Fuck Off. -
Haie: “ . . . no one gives a fuck about magestic (sic) cornfields and Tom Osbourne (sic) and all that.”
Nebraska’s most recent 5-year average average ranks them 10th in the country at 89,675.

Nebraska has had sellouts at home SINCE1962. The streak continues.
