Commit #22 - Mikale Wilbon

[bigred472]

The history is important because it is what built the facilities and the stadium that we have........and the fanbase that we have.

But if you tell a recruit that we won National Championships back in the 70's and the 90's they're just gonna be like, "ummm okay...."

-------
No the history is also important in knowing the types of coaches we need to be successful at Nebraska. Beyond TO and his accomplishments, we had at one time THE conditioning coach/program/facilities that were the envy of college football. We still have some of the best facilities, but coach & program---not so much. THAT'S part of our history and what it shows us NOW what we lack.

I do NOT DOUBT anyone's loyalty to the programthat posts here. I do feel that some here have gotten complacent in buying into the "we've got a coach that won 9 games a year." To me that mindset is just reverse psychology. Most of the powerhouse programs seldom respected us....shitty weather a state in the middle of nowhere with little population and less to do in your free time. No one could ever figure out the appeal (winning anyone). And todays TV sportscasters are 10 times as bad. With the possible exception of the B1G announcers, the rest don't like us because they've never figured out why college football succeeded at Nebraska. So, they support keeping Pelini and his 9 wins a year because they don't have to try and figure what the appeal is to Lincoln.

I do not believe for one lousy minute that any of the pro-Pelini broadcasters have the programs best interests when they come out supporting Bo.

First his tempermant. And I truly believe that hot headedness infects the players. And as someone has mentioned before, there has been a turnover in coaches. Some were forced out (that I understand). But alot of the others were what? Hired by others because this program has done such a fantatic job? Or did many leave because they couldn't tolerate Bo and his game plan skills? Or because the program is in a rut? The condintioning coach either sucks or the staff isn't making this a high enough priority. When you have players sucking wind at the end of the first half of play, they are NOT in good shape. Finally, and I do believe this is a relection of Bo's tempermant again--the team lacks consistancy. Is it conditioning? The lack of reps in practice? Are our definsive and offensive game plans so obvious that opponents have got a bead on us? Yet we can go on a four game winning tear and then lose 3 out of 5 of the following games something ain't right. nor anyone else here expects loss free seasons, but our losses have even become somewhat predictable.

As just a broad based observation, I think our teams lack toughness. And again the sad thing is, we aren't getting any less talent than Devaney/Osborne did. The staff just isn't doing as much to help that talent along.
