Tons of respect if he stays loyal to ISU as it has to be tough.

Well. The next few years aren't gonna be like the last 50 years.
And the Iowa states and K states of the world are on the outside looking in.

I agree. But it's gonna be hard and harder as a member of what's left of the Big 12

Why would Matt Campbell leave Iowa St. for Nebraska?

If you transplanted Chiefs and Cyclones fans to LA, they would eventually start weighing driving across town and the possibility of it taking 2+ hours to travel 20 miles to watch a game that's over in the first quarter... or sitting inside when there are a million other things to do...

...and if you transplanted UCLA fans to Iowa, they would become bored as **** and start watching more football, no matter how good or bad the team was.

Well realistically theres maybe 6 teams that can win a NC so unless 1 of those schools comes calling it wont matter. Nebraska can still pay top dollar for a coach and has good facilities which will be even better here in a few years as they just broke ground on some new stuff.

What makes this all the more frustrating is Frost didnt have to win 10 games this year or even 8. Just make a bowl gain a little momentum the state has alot of blue chip talent the next few years.

They wont even make a bowl this year again for the 5th straight year. All that talk on here years prior of Nebraska being irrelevant was overblown. They always had a chance to get back into things. Maybe not 90s good but Wisconsin consistent good definitely. All of that is over though this program is what Minnesota has became.

There will be no Matt Campbell or Bob Stoops coming to Lincoln. The best thing that can happen now is the sell out streak ends and as we get closer to being 3 decades removed from the Nebraska glory years the expectations fade but they can find a coach to build a solid program. Certainly possible but Nebraska as the program we all knew it as started to die November 2001 fought like hell to be that program again for 20 years and today is the day where you can officially throw dirt on it.

Great write up. Thank you.

Its all about prop 48. That rule killed Nebraska.
And K-st. Snyder had the best team in the country once.cause of partial qualifiers. But when the B8 joined the SWC.
Texas schools made sure that PQs were limited to 2 per school.IIRC?


It ****ed both programs.

Excellent video on P48 and how it killed many schools

If they moved all those people indoors they could probably fill that little run down Allen crack house that KU refuses to improve.

Edit: never mind. It was double the attendance of any game at Allen’s crack house.

For whatever reason, I really felt like the Huskers were gonna win that game, and convincingly. Started out great. Then the stupid shit started happening. They can't recover. You could see it in their play, they started just believing they were going to lose. Then the defense gets gassed and looks like crap, totally different halves of football from them. Martinez is and has been terrible. His first season was good, then there was all that Heisman hype about him and he folded like a cheap suit the next 2 seasons, and continued with that shit yesterday.

We suck. I know all the Husker haters are loving this. Monday morning will suck, I work in Iowa and all the Hawkeye fans and Cyclone fans are gonna be gleeful as hell.

Ugh. Nebraska is done. 4 seasons in a row of absolutely horrible football, and not ONE inch of improvement. It's almost surreal.

Go Chiefs.

Did anyone mention Nebraska football?!?!?

ROFL

LMAO

I'm choosing to refer to it as Nebraska *ootball...

That's a random thing to PMS about in a college football thread. LMAO

While you may be correct, the eyeball test doesn't back up your claim. Rose Bowl 91,000. Allen Fieldhouse 16,300. So pushing 33,000 when Allen Fieldhouse is doubled. Not seeing all of those folks pushed together filling the Rose Bowl to more than 1/3rd capacity.

He's not. Nebraska is a toilet.

Don't think he is B1G bound at any point unless Michigan dumps Coach Derp.

FYP

And I have missed the 'Skers tears. They give me strength.

Losing to Illinois is the B1G equivalent of losing to Kansas. LMAO

Billay has assured me for years now that the program was improving!

ROFL

Oh, it's probably not that bad.

True, but what is? :D

I saw that Frostys buyout is 20 mil until Jan 1. Woof.

No way he's leaving anytime soon. If they try to knife him they can ask Tennessee how that worked out.

Losing to Rutgers?

Not very random when you understand PB’s idiotic point of view that CBB is just as popular as CFB to try and make KU seem relevant to the new conference realignment discussion. The fact is that game had a listed attendance just under 33,000. So while it looks completely empty they still had more fans than pretty much any CBB game. When 1/3 capacity is double your capacity you really shouldn’t be trying to compare the two sports.

If we’re being honest, Butch should’ve been given 1 more season with Pruitt never being hired in the first place.

Pelini/Solich should’ve never been fired as well as Riley never being hired.

Butch Jones absolutely should have been fired. They just can stop listening to morons.

Nebraska, on the other hand, is terminally braindead.

If Frank Solich recruited better ... if Bill Callahan developed better ... if Bo Pelini didn’t go deer-in-the-headlights in big games ... if Mike Riley were tougher ... if Frost had enough time.

Always, you found hope. Always, there was an argument, if you altered your view or tweaked the lens.

Now what? Seriously, if not Frost, then whom?

Pelini absolutely should have been fired. In what world does a guy tell their customers to kiss his ass? Call his boss a ****? Dare management to fire him publicly. Not to mention his multiple fines for on field conduct. Did you see him flame out at Youngstown or his 1 year back at LSU as DC? Dudes a headcase who made a career in the mid 2000s with a defense that was eventually figured out.

What a dumb article. It's pretty hard finding a good consistent coach in College football. Hows it going in Tennessee? How about Texas A&M? Fisher was a home run hire. UCLA? Kelly was one of the best college football coaches. USC still has never really found a good coach since Carroll, maybe you could argue for Dan Mullen in Florida but they were a pretty big disappointment since Meyer. FSU has hired 2 coaches since Fisher left. How many coaches did Notre Dame go through before getting Kelly?

Pelini by all accounts is an asshole, but to my knowledge, didn't put the program on probation and won.

He shouldn’t have been fired. He is incredibly toxic. But performance wise he did what was asked of him. And did about the best anyone can do at Nebraska given the current environment.

That being said, Riley still should never have been hired.

Butch, IIRC, was recruiting really well and had only 1 season that did not go along with his rebuild (his last one in 2017). Butch should’ve at least been given 2018 or be fired. Regarding listening to morons, you’re not wrong. Fulmer should never have been promoted to AD nor should they have let idiots like Clay Travis influence their coaching search. What they did to Schiano was bullshit.

Fox Sports claimed only 12,000 actual.


Bless your little heart.

Wow

Frost on the offense at Illinois:

"About half of our game plan was out the window when they lined up how they did."

I think Butch was in some hot water along with the losing. It's a weird spot because they were never going to get anywhere with him but **** what a disaster before and after him.

As for Nebraska, the fans really need to stop giving a **** about the program. Hard. The program needs to be forced to make sweeping changes.

The most pathetic excuse I've ever heard. He's taking a lot of heat today over that comment

I don’t see why. Nebraska definitely deserves an F

Apparently they didn't do a lot of preparation/practice for the scheme Illinois ran defensively. And when they did, it wasn't until this week. LMAO



I think at this point the only thing that would save Tennessee is if Kiffin ever went back. They're a dumpster fire because of the media along with fanbase, etc. Unlike Nebraska, they actually have a decent in-state talent pool to recruit from.

Nebraska's literally ****ed. The advantages they had amenity wise are gone. Osborne's not walking through that door. They do not have any geographic advantages when it comes to recruiting as well.

I literally have 0 idea WTF they should do long term. Frost was supposed to be the chosen one given his pedigree.

They could do some off the radar shit like hire Zac Taylor if he gets shit canned in Cincinnati, but I'm not sure that that would be the way you would want to go after firing Frost.

They'd have to hire a coach that either has Nebraska connections or has shown they can win in the Midwest. Fickell could be a good hire, but I don't think he'd leave Cinci for Nebraska at this point.

Jason Candle from Toledo could be a guy, but I'm not sure he's really proven himself to be ready for a P5 school yet.

I don't see them hiring a first time HC.

They also need to stop going the "glory years" alumni route for hiring.

So I looked it up Frost has lost 13 games by 1 score. That includes the game in Columbus where they had a negative punt. Yes a punt that went for negative yards. A couple losses to some ranked Iowa and Northwestern teams too.

The recruiting rankings during that period? Per 247: 23, 17, 20 and 20. This is during a period in which the team hasnt made a bowl game. I'm not sure where this narrative comes from that you cant get kids to play at Nebraska or a coach cant succeed there.

If I had to guess what we'll do and it's something we havent really ever done except maybe Callahan? Is pay top dollar for assistant coaches. Frost whole offense staff will be shown the door you pay top money for some assistants preferably with B1G experience and hire some former NFL coach with years of experience as an analyst to help fill in some blanks for Frost and use their name as a selling point for croots.

This is a much cheaper option than fire your homegrown legend and paying him 20 mil. You arent hiring worth a shit for atleast a few years.

I just don't know how much the decision makers in Lincoln give a **** as long as they can pretend some sell out streak is still alive. The fans need to put that shit to a clear end and show they are tired of shitty football.

I think it's still possible to win in Nebraska. Frost was pulling in talent. He just doesn't give a flying **** about coaching at a level that it takes to win

The players are getting worse and still tripping over their own dicks for 4 quarters. That's 100% coaching.

Bert would have been the perfect coach at Nebraska but now he's in Illinois.

But since he's not available, I would say they should target the Shark ****er. I think he could meet lowered expectations in Lincoln and his teeth looks like corn. What a match!

Now go research how many 3 and 4 star recruits have left via the transfer porthole

These Minn dbs are in trouble. They’re getting burnt and it’s gonna get ugly.

Wonder if Ohio state has a shot at the playoff???

What a drive. Brass balls on fourth down

NWMO / Fort Hays game started at 7pm

MINNY/OSU game started at 7pm

NWMO/FHST is at halftime

MINNY/OSU still has 9 minutes left=25 min of real time.


HMMMMMM

Blowhio State looking shaky.

Just dont lose to minnysota

**** you state. Gophers gnawing at them

Punter for NWMO

Hohensee,Mike punt 73 yards to the FHS00, Touchback.

I ****ing hate preseason rankings.

PJ Fleck is a damn good coach

Brutal INT by UCF.

Man even ESPN cameras are trash. Thought I was watching standard def until I switched back over to fox.

troof, the fall has been long and hard...

Looks like minny is relying on Ibrahim

The golfers back in front.

Gophers are ****ing shit up!!!

That rough call had no influence on the play they gotta change that stupid ass rule

It was a PF while the ball was in play. That's the way it should work.

Nah had no impact on the play OSU ball penalize them 15 yards from the spot of the pick

Well that was easy

Every person but one saw what was about to happen....

Yup, tanner morgan. ......

always get in his face

Welp...that was fun for a minute.

Fat guy TD's are awesome though.

Almost looked like he got that Achilles pop there. Maybe not.

who?

Ibrahim from Minn.

He goes down, the whole season goes down

I could imagine. He's a stud.

sidearm sports stats sucks.

NW 15

FHST 7

3 hour game

That review made no sense.

Looked like when Chris Conley popped his.

UCF/Boise game getting good

Pretty impressive meltdown by Boise. Just need a UCF win to hit my first parlay of the year, so I'll take it!

What the hell kind of a call on 4 and 1 with that field position was that???

How many people hate Boise State because they look like the Denver Donkos?

But, I forgot Guz Malzhan is now the coach for UCF so I should've seen his decision to throw the ball when his team was crushing the run game coming.

Gus Malzhan. Never underestimate his ability to coach his team right into a head scratching loss. Their defense had been playing lights out the 2nd half and they may lose anyway, 100% on coaching.

Should have tried to make that back of the end zone throw QB got stretched

well at least it will be a quiet week in the local media
