Beamer was recruiting coordinator when he was here, did a good job.

This is a risky hire. USC is hoping to get a Dabo-type (DS was a WR coach when he replaced Bowden). Not a play-caller. Good recruiter, organization builder. Obviously, his coordinator hires will be of supreme importance. He should clear house, except for Connor Shaw.

When have we ever had a non-risky hire besides SOS?

When have we ever had a non-risky hire besides SOS?

Maybe Lou, or Joe Morrison. I think this one is the most risky, though. The only non-former HC I can remember would be Brad Scott.

Yeah, Brad was pretty terrible... But we don't usually get good, established coaches to come to Columbia

Nah. Not even 12.5% of our players came from Texas, and rarely did the supposed 'gems' we got ever turn out.

1999: Carl Crawford: Chose baseball, All-World Baseball player

2000: Nick Pevendo, Lannie Hopkins, Willie Amos, TJ Hollowell (starter, never All-Conf HM)

2001: Zero recruits from Texas

2002: DeMorrio Williams (JUCO). Likely the best we ever got out of TX in the B12 years

2003: TItus Brothers, David Dykes, Steve Cramer, JB Phillips, Adrain Turner, Greg Austin (Austion OK, rest forgettable)

2004: Terrance Nunn. Solid kid, loved to work and play hard. No complaints.

2005: Brodrick Hunter, Cody Glenn, Wallace Franklin (solid run of dudes that never ended their careers at NE).

2006: Will Henry

2007: Curenski Gilleylan, Quentin Castille, Marcus Mendoza, Patrick Witt, Shawn Sullivan, Andrew Blue, Adi Kudalik (Only Curenski ended his career at NE)

2008: Josh Williams, David Whitmore, David Grant, Koday Spano, Brandon Thompson, Steve Osbourne, Alonzo Whaley, Lester Ward, Courntey Osbourne. (Osbourne's were OK, in-state walk-ons were much better an lower cost).

2009: Cody Green, Chris Williams, Rex Burkhead, Aaron Green, Thaddeus Randle, Nick Ash, Jesse Coffey, Seth Jameson (best TX we ever had in the B12, supposedly. Rex Burkhead is and always will be a stud. Only Thad was the other that even played meaningful downs.).

2010: Donovan Vestal, Harvey Jackson, Ciante Evans, Jay Guy, Jason Dann (Likely our most productive TX class in the B12. Nary an NFL player).

2011: Aaron Green, Jamal Turner, Charles Jackson, David Santos, Chase Harper, Givens-Price. (So much promise, so much heartbreak).

So yeah, you nailed it, if not for Texas, Nebraska was shit in the Big 12. Talk about underachieving worthless TX recruits we landed as 5th choice and highly rated softies that we seemed to land way too often.

Unfortunately, for Nebraska, they are a team of the past. Being on the western edge (even if still in the Central Time Zone) when more than half the conference is in the Eastern Time Zone is a recipe for failure for a newcomer. They have only one natural rivalry (Iowa). Kids from the Eastern Zone are seldom if ever going to consider Nebraska. While Lincoln is a nice place, as a city it cannot compete with New York, Columbus, Chicago, Minneapolis, Ann Arbor (Detroit) and Indianapolis (both Purdue and Indiana. Once it started to lose, Nebraska lost its national appeal and probably cannot get it back.

Missouri and Arkansas are facing the same problem in the SEC. Texas A&M if fairing ok but that will probably fade with time.
Schools should never give up long time rivalries.

At least the Hogs have proximity to Texas for recruiting.

Nope

Nope

I would expect no less from a loyal fan. I was just stating an outsiders non bias view. For your loyalty I hope your right, I just don't think you will be.

As long as Fisher is at A&M we won't be
