They have sellouts for a team that is mediocre at best. Tied at halftime against mighty ND
Nebraska fans have to be the most loyal in country
- Thread starter BSIT
- Start date
Yeah, at this point he's a dead man walking. He looked like someone punched him in the gut at his halftime interview. I'm sure they'll be getting Urban Meyer next...😂
He gone by end of year
Why suffer for another month for the sake of saving money that ultimately won't even matter with the new broadcasting contracts?
If he is still there for the Purdue game, it will be a parting gift of sorts...I can only hope in that Trev has done a lousy job in general as AD that he somehow messes up again with teh new hire.
Doubtful. Why would he go to that shit show when there have and will be other better opportunities?
Already rumored...and, would not be shocking by any means. Also would not be good for some of the schools (like Purdue) that have taken advantage of the incompetency there for a while.
$$$, and, needs back in desperately, and, in either of the two relevant conferences.
Nebraska is a sleeping giant...great support...plenty of resources...desperate to win...will gladly participate from NIL standpoint...never have cared in general about the character of players (which aligns perfectly with Urban)...I could definitely see it happen.
Maybe this guy can help?
Alumnus Warren Buffett Celebrates 89 Years
Buffett spoke at the University of Nebraska with Bill Gates in 2005 and turns 89-years-old, August 30.
It seems like forever since they were great. I wonder if the Big Ten Presidents would still accept them today, if they were invited now, rather than 10 years ago (I suspect they probably would, but it might take a little more thought). Still, they've done something Purdue has not (won a national championship in a major sport). If we're never going to win it all, I wouldn't mind seeing Nebraska get some of their mojo back.
A lot like Indinia basketball, the issue is that people remember those days, but, have not progressed from them...and, that is seemingly very much the case with 'Husker football.
They moved on quickly from a couple of guys after Osborne that in hindsight were not awful, particularly with what was to follow.
I think there is the chance to win there with the right guy(s)...and, while I am not an Urban fan, his success in College Football as a HC cannot be questioned.
The issue would be whether he could accumulate the talent there...if he thinks that he can, it is not a bad spot for him actually, and, might arguably be one of the better ones that will be available soon.
Frost is done after this year, Urban had his year off to rejuvinate, he also seems to like he's impressed by teams that pack the stadium.
Difference is IU Basketball is in a recruiting hotbed. Nebraska football… not so much.
Kids just can’t take unofficial visits there.
Over a 1 week spring break, a kid from Indy or Cincy can visit Ohio State, Purdue, IU, Notre Dame, Michigan and Michigan State.
Or he can visit Iowa and Nebraska.
My guess is if Urban were there and $$$ was on the table, guys would find a way to get there...and, guys from Indy/Cincy looking at OSU, UM and ND are largely not looking at Indinia and Purdue.
Your point is valid...it is more work to find your way to Lincoln, but, again...if they are winning and they are paying (which is more important than if they are winning), and, if they are turning out NFL guys (as Urban has everywhere that he has been), guys will find their way there to visit.
But, it allowed for Frost to become HC? That worked out well...as did all of the others that preceded him and failed.
At some point, that old money cares ONLY about winning...and, my guess, is it is at that point now...as, that old money will be gone with the folks holding it, and, they want to see Nebraska win, and win big, before they (and their money) go.
Ever spend time in Lincoln?....They are a stubborn bunch (Frost is one of 'em). Maybe you are right. There comes a time for everything.
If Nebraska can outbid OSU, UM, ND etc in NIL transactions, then they will get kids. But I doubt that happens.
If ND does not join a conference, they will become irrelevant, provided the conferences allow that to happen.
Again...fair point though...but, I think they will be willing to spend what those programs are...just a matter at that point if guys will take it from them opposed to those other programs...if a few do, it will lead to others doing so likely...that being the case...to your point...easier said than actually done.
If they can get a guy like Urban there, that could be the catalyst for a modest type of turnaround (9-10 win seasons) but I think he waits for a better job to open, like an Auburn or Florida State.
But Nebraska has clearly shown they are willing to let him suck for a few years before firing him. He won't get that at Auburn
Harsin is all but done at Auburn. His lone protector AD Allen Greene was forced out last week. Oh he resigned but had no choice but to save face.
Urban won't take a CF HC position at a school without a strong recruiting base. The HS football in a radius of 300 to 400 miles is really weak - the whole state only has a population of 1.9 million
Narcissist coaches aren’t worried about sucking.
Nebraska still gets Top 25 classes even with being where it is at. Bill Callahan had a Top 5 class. Urban is a recruiting machine and it wouldn't matter where Nebraska is geographically. He'd get most of the guys he wants because Nebraska is a brand and Urban is a known commodity.
Not in the least. Hate IU basketball and actually cheer Purdue basketball every year until they destroy my bracket in March because I send them too deep in the tourney.
Ok, because you remind me of IU basketball fans.
Every time they want to fire a coach, they think they’re getting Brad Stevens or Billy Donovan and they end up with Crean or Little Archie instead.
They have the same definition apparently that Indinia basketball does
